Rayna + Mark / Little Mulberry Park Wedding Portraits

Rayna + Mark / Little Mulberry Park Wedding Portraits

Some weddings hit us right in the heart… and Rayna + Mark’s will be one we never forget. This day was special on so many levels, but what made it truly unforgettable was the history behind it. Rayna isn’t just any bride… She is the daughter of a photographer we have admired for years. Someone who once photographed our own family portraits long, long ago. It’s almost surreal to think about how life comes full circle.

We recently had the sweetest family portrait session with the Edwards family… This one felt especially special because their oldest and ours were in the same class back when they were just little kids, and standing behind the camera now, watching them all grown up, was such a full-circle moment.

There are way too many emotions with this blog post, y’all… First, this young gentleman is our friend’s son, someone we’ve known since he was itty bitty. Wow! I really didn’t know life would fly by so fast. He’s now not a senior in high school, but a senior in college!

I was having a serious conversation with our kids the other day about “fulfillment”. I believe that our hearts are designed to be fulfilled… This is exactly why just doing a job or just getting a degree or just doing our duties of any kind in our lives become meaningless very quickly.

Why are family portraits so emotional? I seriously get teary looking at photos of families especially when I know them! We had the privilege of shooting David and Kristen’s wedding how many years and to see their family grow beautifully is just amazing…. God is SO GOOD!

I don’t know what it is about our clients, but our couples always seem to be so at peace. In our chaotic world, peace is truly such a gift to have, isn’t it? That’s what I felt the moment I got to meet Misaki + James. They felt so calm…. there was no stress.

Want to hiking and/or camping, but don’t know where to start? Trust me, that’s the way we felt when we began too. There are so many products out there and if you don’t have much experience, it’s hard to know what you REALLY need.
