From the moment that I saw Gianna and Ryan sprint to each other on their wedding day, I’ve known.  These two.  They will find the other’s hand and walk through whatever life brings together. Life has brought them 3 beautiful girls.  Three little girls who are growing up to know that they are treasures.  Three […]

Wonder.  Joy. To look into their eyes is to see it humming in all that they see.  In all that they do.  Watching them toddle and laugh and find themselves wrapped up in mom and dad’s loving embrace?  An absolute gift. Sweet Dix family, thank you SO much for running and playing and looking for […]

6th grade is where it all began.  Because sometimes love finds you before your ready…before you could know that you’ve met the person that you want to hold hands with through ALL the things. But that spark still remained.  As did their friendship. And so years later, when they saw each other at a party […]

I still remember seeing them together in high school.  You could see it in her smile; in the way he held her hand.  They were made to walk this beautiful road together. High school sweethearts became best friends who pledged their lives to one another.  In sickness and in health. And that is just what […]

Every session is different.  Though I have certain activities and prompts I use – they are merely just opportunities to help a family be THEMSELVES.  To capture who they are… This session? I don’t think we ever stopped laughing.  And between the smiles and sweet words and hills explored…I knew that this family’s story reads […]

Before every session, I send my amazing clients a little questionnaire.  Because YOUR story matters.  You are not just a client.  You are an exquisite person with a story and it’s a gift that you’d entrust that to me.  So when I read Stephanie’s response…I cried.  And though I have a million reasons I love […]

I remember when we locked eyes before her session 7 years ago. “Amy, I’m pregnant.” I knew that look.  It was similar to the one I had when I first I learned I was pregnant all those years ago when I had never planned on being a mom.  I looked deep in her eyes and […]

Sweet Mr. Silas, Oh sweet little man, you are a miracle.  You are hope in a little body.  You are joy and grace and God’s faithfulness wrapped up in a little person. You see, your parents have been on more than a decade long journey to you and your brothers.  Your mom and dad became […]

Sweet Miss M, Oh darling…you are God’s breath in the form of such a precious little girl.  From your hair to your sweet little toes and fingers, you are a marvel.  God made you exquisite and I pray that you always know that in the deepest part of your being. May you grow to know […]

May your weekend be filled with a double dose of awesome. May you take that risk you’ve been longing to try. When things seem to be falling around you – may you find a soft place to land. May you soar to new heights. And may you sense that God is right there to catch […]
