Frankie and Katherine (engaged)

I met Katherine and Frankie at my first wedding in May. I got a message from Katherine at the beginning of June telling me that she had gotten engaged! I was so thrilled! We had so much fun taking their engagement pictures! Frankie was such a good sport and they are really such a wonderful couple! It was really hot and I can definitely speak for them in saying that we all can't wait for a cooler November wedding! :)

That summer light....ahh....

Isn't Katherine just beautiful?!?!? 

They have so much fun together!Frankie and Katherine, I cannot wait for your wedding! Thanks for allowing me to take your engagement pictures!

Austin and Laura Jo (engaged)

This couple.....I can't even explain how precious they are and how thankful I am for how the Lord brought them together. Laura Jo has been a dear friend since college. We spent two summers together including going to Brazil together! As I got to know LJ I knew that it would take a very special guy to sweep her off of her feet. :) Austin is that guy! I met him last summer before they even started dating! My husband called it and a few months later, they were dating!

For their engagement pictures we met up in New Orleans! We had so much fun running around and taking pictures! I absolutely cannot wait for their wedding in August! 

Thank you for allowing me the privilege to take your pictures! Y'all are so precious and August will be here before we know it! :)

Ashley and Matt (engaged)

Ashely and Matt are such a precious couple! After hearing their story, I am just so excited that they are getting married! They have dated for 10 YEARS!! Wow! This proposal and ALMOST marriage has been a long time coming!! We met up in Fairhope to take their engagement pictures but ended up driving around and stopping when we saw a fun place to grab a few pictures! Ashley and Matt, I am so excited for y'all's day in May!! It will be here before we know it! Thanks for field hoppin' with me for these pictures!

Hay bales make for some fun photos!

Matt, you did awesome on her ring! :)

They are so fun!

This southern snow does not stay nearly long enough! 

Life Lately...

January was the month of no blogging. Obviously. :) I hope this isn't a sign of the next year. Life has been busy so I'll give a few updates.

On the photography front I have to say, I thought things would slow down in January. After the hustle and bustle of fall and getting people's Christmas pictures done and edited quickly before the deadline of Christmas cards went out, I thought January would be slow. While, it hasn't been as busy, the Lord has been gracious to still allow me to do what I love on the side. Here are just a few updates......

First up, this lovely couple who will be getting married in June! :) They were SO FUN!

Secondly, this sweet couple who are waiting for their lives to change forever with welcoming the birth of their first son, Aiden.

I surely cannot wait for him to get here! :)

Lastly, just this weekend I had the privilege of taking my brother-in-law and ALMOST sister-in-laws engagement pictures! They have LESS THAN A MONTH! I am so excited for them and cannot wait for March 2nd to photograph my first official wedding on my own but also to welcome Ashley to the family!

So sweet....

January was an incredibly long month. We also had a visit from my aunt and cousins which was such a fun weekend!

Other than that, we have just been watching this little girl grow and praying the other cousins would move home! :)

It's been a long month and I am thankful that we are now in February! God has been so gracious to Brett and I. He has been teaching us a lot about dying to ourselves. He has also taught me a lot about trusting Him. Nothing is too hard for Him and I am grateful for the grace He continues to pour over my life. I am thankful that He satisfies and that He is enough! What a blessing to serve Him and have a relationship with my Lord

Oh yeah, I am also thankful for this guy who will be celebrating his birthday on Monday! I think he is definitely worth celebrating. Brett is such an answer to prayer and I am thankful for his sweet heart.

Well, that was a short and sweet update but hey, at least there were pictures! :) Hopefully I can blog more soon!
