The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! And in keeping with one of my favorite parts of December (receiving all the wonderful holiday cards from friends and family) here is a year in review of all the families we got to serve! I don't get to do as many family photos as I used to anymore since I'm out of the country a lot, but I really love seeing the kids dressed in their best! 

 I'm thankful you've stopped by to see the latest and follow along my adventures this year. 

Merry Christmas to you and yours. May your next year be merry and bright!

Sofia, Naomi, Julia, and Elliott

Happy Friday!

I'm hoping these photos (of some of THE cutest kids of alllll time) will bring even more joy on this sunny Friday!

Sofia, Naomi, Julia, and Elliott are the children of two of my dearest friends at church.

Their dad, Barrett, was pretty outnumbered for several years, but not anymore.

Elliott Jude Black showed up about 2 months ago and is indeed as his mom says

"15 lbs of dreaminess!"

So enjoy these and have a wonderful weekend!

Grayson is 1 year old!

I love this time of year!

Consistent Christmas music listening officially started this week.

Thanksgiving is next week...which for me means several days in the mountains with the family.

And kids look cuter than ever this time of year!

It's the time when I get to hang out with so many families and celebrate with them what giving thanks, giving gifts, and getting older really means.

Happy Belated Birthday to Grayson.

And Happy early Thanksgiving to everyone!!

Jacquelyn and Patrick

Back in the swing and so happy to be.

The weather has been amazing and it's a perfect time for exploring and photo taking!

Jacquelyn is one of my wonderful friends from college.

She has continually been an encouragement and light-hearted, gospel-centered buddy of mine.

I remember having lunch with Jacquelyn at Zoe's (our date place:)) a couple years ago...and we had girl talk about the future and getting married one day. I remember her talking about how much she trusted God with that detail of her life, knowing it will happen and in his perfect timing. It was a refreshing and encouraging conversation.

And now I have the unbelievable privilege and joy of shooting her wedding in a few weeks!

To Jacquelyn and Patrick...you two are bunch of cuties!!

 I'm so so excited and happy for you and ready to celebrate this awesome beginning:)

Thanks for stopping by,
