Maggie | Our Newest Voter.

As someone who adores her babysitter and cries at the thought of her tender heart - I hold the role in high esteem.  To get to care for someone's child is a big task - even if it is pizza and a movie - I always wanted to make that pizza and a movie COUNT - you know?  Bring life. and joy. 

I'm not entirely sure how I ended up landing the babysitting gig I did in college, but I'm pretty sure it was Providence and Lindsey.  

 So - my sweet sweet Maggie - how do I tell you how grateful I am for our adventures and Tom Petty Sing a Long sessions?  Or our cruises and Easter Services in our hotel room?  I'm grateful - and getting to see you recently, and the whole family- was a blessing.  

Happy Birthday.  I hope this year, you continue to explore life - and who you are, and who He is making you to be. 

Love you.

When Abigail contacted me about wedding photos my heart fluttered on two levels. 

1. I was giddy for her new adventure of marriage and life.

2. I think she is really cool and I felt honored she would even ask me. 

Then there was the engagement session that entailed coffee, Crozet, Cville, and Ridge Road. I was in love. 

Add to that the other piece of this beautiful duo - Matt.  A real actor. (You will see some of his moves in these photos....) He is a real wonderful man to pair with Abigail and well....you have

Beauty. 

Then, of course, there was Liz...and Chris....and The Haven, and things that make my heart pitter patter. 

The ceremony was holy, real, and one of my faves. 

The Mother/Son Dance was OUTTAA CONTROL and I freaked out and started dancing along on the sidelines as I took photos.  

To Abigail and Matt - lots of love from VA to Chi-Town.

PS - To the Mother of the Bride - your sweet note this week encouraged me so much.

PPS - Yes there was a photo booth, but those photos will come later!

PPPS - I made a video/slideshow of this...which will also come later.
