Every time I look at this girl, I can’t help but see the bright-eyed second grader whom I met for the first time nearly nine years ago. I hear the giggles of her friends and the sound of Christmas carols in the air, I feel the hard plastic of elementary classroom chairs and the warmth of of her smile, taking in her beloved uncle’s new girlfriend. Between her and I, I think it was a bit of “love” at first sight.
Two and a half years after that, she stood at my side as my junior bridesmaid and may have shed more tears than anyone else in that room (and not entirely from happiness, haha). And now here she is, fully in the prime of her teenage years – spending her days serving and leading at church, working a great summer job, driving around a sporty set of wheels, hanging out with a gaggle of sweet friends, loving on her precious (I’m biased) family, and being generally awesome.
We spent an afternoon taking some photos of her and the family out at Lake Ocoee, a place they’ve all been so fortunate to call their second home. They are always some of my very best clients and I couldn’t be more proud to be their photographer (and aunt/sister-in-law). Love y’all!
