I realize that I’ve been a major slacker in the blog department these past few weeks. Anyone who has ever been a college student during the months of April and May knows that it is the most hectic and stressful time of the entire year. I’ve gotten so behind on editing, and I can’t wait for summer to get here so I can finally get caught up. (And the no school thing will be nice.) Summer is only 6 days away… Praise the LORD!!!!!!! It’s weird to think that I’ll be an official college grad by Saturday and that I’ll be starting seminary in only 3.5 months. When did this whole adult thing happen?? So strange… Anyways, I’ll be in Jacksonville all summer, and I’m already booking a lot of sessions. If you’re interested in one yourself, just email me! :)

Now on to the purpose of this post…

The first time that I met Danielle, I remember thinking, “Man, she is excited about life.” This year, she has been my mentor/boss/friend, and the fact remains that she is one of the most passionate people that I have ever met. It’s so easy to see that her excitement for life comes straight from her love for the Lord.

Danielle and Langston will be celebrating their one year anniversary this June, and I had a BLAST on this shoot. It is so obvious that they selflessly care for and love each other so much. Langston has the ability to make Danielle laugh anyway, anytime and about anything… The evidence is in the pictures. Danielle & Langston, thank you so much for allowing me to capture your laughter, passion and love! It was seriously a huge blessing!

Oh yeah… I forgot to add that they’re both total goofballs. :)

You know those couples that everyone loves? Those couples who share the most genuine love for each other? The ones that you look at and think, “Yeah… they just belong together.” Well, Cecily & Robby fall right into that category.

They are both from Woodstock, GA, and they have been together for 5 and 1/2 years. I’m sorry… Maybe you didn’t get that… FIVE AND A HALF YEARS! That number overwhelms me, and it would be an understatement to say that they are both SO incredibly ready to start married life together. On June 26th, they will become Mr. & Mrs. Robby Lewis!

Cecily is finishing her undergrad here at Liberty, and Robby came up from GA a few weekends ago to visit. I was so blessed to be able to take their engagement pictures, and I had an absolute BLAST doing it. They are seriously one of the funniest couples that you’ll ever meet.

Cecily has the cutest laugh, but no one can make her laugh harder than Robby. There were actually a few times were he was being TOO funny and causing me camera shake. Haha.

Cecily, please stop being so dang beautiful. You’re making the rest of us look bad!

After a quick outfit change, we headed downtown, only to encounter a freak rainstorm and flash flood. Good news, Robby was prepared with umbrellas, and we had so much fun… even in the rain.

PS… Shooting while holding a umbrella between your neck and chin is a lot more difficult than it looks!

See, I told you. Cutest laugh ever.

Robby just got a job as a Youth Pastor in Venice Beach, FL. He made the move down a few weeks ago, and Cecily will be joining him when they’re married. Awesome job, awesome state (I may be a little biased), and awesome couple.

Congrats Cecily and Robby! :)

I have known Madison since my freshman year at Liberty. Since she lived right across the hall from me, she was one of the first people that I met at LU. It wasn’t until the 2nd semester that we become really close. I remember having a conversation with her that went something like this: (Me to Madison) “You’re really cool.” (Madison to Me) “You’re really cool too.” (Both of us in unison) “We should be best friends!” Okay… So maybe the conversation was a little different than that, but you get the general idea. Mads was my Prayer Leader freshman year and my Spiritual Life Director my sophomore year. She has been such a huge encouragement to me over the years, and now we’re RA’s together!

Her sister (Katie) and dad came up to Lynchburg for a visit a few weeks ago, and they wanted to get some sisterly love pictures. Here are my favorites….

I am convinced that there is nothing better than laughter.

If you look closely, you’ll see that Madison has a tattoo on her foot that says “Xapis”. That’s Greek for “grace”, and Madison uses it as a witnessing tool. So cool. :)

Meet Mr. Ken, Madison and Katie’s dad. He is probably one of the most generous people that I’ve ever met in my entire life. One of my favorite college memories was when Mr. Ken took me and Mads to the North Carolina State Fair our sophomore year… That’s where I milked a cow for the first time. Totally gross.
