Thiiiiiiissss family!!!!!! I ADORE!!!!!!!  If you already know their story of how we met..I am sorry, but some do not so here goes…   I met Dee (her name is Danielle, but never goes by that except one time I heard her husband call her that;) lol Back to Dee…I met her  and her husband Chad on a snowy January day for their engagement session. I couldn’t remember Chad’s name and I kept asking if they had nick names for each other and Chad caught on and said…This is Dee and I Am Chad. I about died. It was too great! Not sure Chad even remembers that, but I will never forget it! ha  I always chat with the brides so fiancé’s names come up only a couple of times. My bad. lol

After I shot their wedding Dee and I corresponded some and I honestly am not sure how we stayed in touch to be honest.  But, one day I said I needed an intern. She wrote me back saying she loved photography and would love to help me out in exchange to learn the ropes. Heck Yes was surely my response! I already liked this sweet girl and I love sharing knowledge to help others so this was a win win! Dee quickly became a part of my business and my life. She helped me tremendously with office management and just plain organizing in general. I LOVED having her over! It was girl time with business mixed in! How fun is that?

Fast forward…she is now the most amazing mama to two beautiful babes and although she no longer has time to work with me..I treasure her friendship! We don’t see each other often enough, but when we do we pick up right where we left off. One more special part that I must mention about Dee. Dee is a prayer warrior! You know…like the friend who YOU KNOW will pray for you even though she is so busy herself. She is a solid friend and someone who I can count on. I just love her and how God works. I love who He brings into my life.

Dee…you are a blessing to me. I love documenting your sweet family. I love that I have been there for your many milestones in life. I feel honored to be a part of your memories. You are a true gift. Thanks, friend.   ps. And just so ya’ll know…little Scarlett Mae is their more serious child…you will see from the images how much FUN we had. Super proud of these images! Real smiles and interaction are what it’s all about!xoxo

blessings,
