So freakin dreamy that it makes never want to wake up!

has been such an amazing community to be a part of this last year! Helen and Neal have worked so hard at growing and adapting the community and brining on board to many resources for its members to learn. It’s a lot of support, laughter watching the lives, and a lot pretty sick accents of I do say so myself.
This community has really encouraged me to keep pushing and trying wild and out of the box things as well as mastering the beauty and simplicity of OCF!
I was so so honored to earn awards over this last year and getting this email … WAS SO COOL AND UNEXPECTED!!
Thanks for making my day brighter !!
And for becoming an ambassador because I wouldn’t be able to compete hahahaha!

Unexpected: [adjective]:

not expected or regarded as likely to happen. unforeseen; surprising.
For (because toddler moms- )
For me: it’s my first time back to since the hurricane- and it’s hard mentally that’s it not the same. Everyone has been working so hard to get it open and being the peace back that it holds. They did!
Melinda and Russel, thanks for embracing the cold, for asking me to do these, for always being so dang nice and fun!
Thanks for being fun parents, and playful in front of the camera ! It means the world to a photographer, especially me!
I couldn’t even wait to share these with the world because I mean … how cutie are they!!!!

Sometimes all the kids and their kids come to visit … and when it does- it deserves to be documented.
Getting to know the Beer’s the last few years and then getting the opportunity to watch them in their back yard, with their family, and playing with their grandkids. It’s a special light in them that was a joy to document and just be a part of.
you and Jerry have always just been such wonderful people who stand by the things they say, and truly show up for others, and your children and grandkids are just as amazing!
What an amazing final session of 2024!!! Fog and all!

Getting ready to wrap up the year and I can’t help but have such gratitude. This has been one of the hardest years for so many in our industry ESPECIALLY in Florida, especially on west coast with 2 back to back hurricanes.
I never expected to miss working at the beach so much. I have so much gratitude for how hard all our friends and preferred vendors like for busting their booties to make magic happen for all their couples! .
Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to put life back together and enjoy the holiday season and kiss 2024 goodbye!

✨SEVEN✨
The number of completion.

✨EIGHT✨
The number of new beginning.
That’s how long I’ve gotten the opportunity to serve and witness all things production
Tuesday, I will start into my eighth year serving as one of the photographers at MCC.
Seven years of friendships that turn to family. Life groups, growth, change, adaption, joy, sorrow, and seven years of feeling the Lords presence through those who are in this place.
This building for so many years has my happy place. I would come into my studio but spend time just sitting in the auditorium.
(My tribe) of some of the most amazing woman have come through this place.
Trust has grown in this place.
Perseverance has developed in this place.
Surrender happened in this place.

The lord is in this place.
I never knew the first time I came into MCC, that in that next year I would get this life changing experience that is creeping close to a decade. This closeness with God, oneness with the true king. Lessons about life and what faith is and what faith isn’t that will last a lifetime.

Thank you for the last 7 years of photography and production ministry and 8 years of being in this body of believers. For taking Kai and I in, for now taking Clay in, and loving us.
I love how well you love on us. Thank you.

Got to see my sweet baby Ray (and Anna and Scott) today! Getting to play "Base golf" and all the sweet snuggles for mom and dad, this week has been making my heart so full with all my amazing friends and their families!

Three amazing, and important families. How do I even pick one to showcase tonight on socials for sneak peeks? I CANT! So all three get a place on the feed tonight here on Facebook!

This family, agape love, Eros love, storage love, Philia love. LOVE.
Servitude and gratitude exudes from them, they never meet a stranger.
The stick together and push through every obstacle and blessing. It’s incredible to be on the sidelines to watch.
It’s forgetting the time when you’re deep in conversations and laughter.
Love you Defayette family !
