Jake & Jenna… and Baby K’s Announcement!

November 18, 2016 · Leave a Comment

This fall’s busy season has been in full force, which means I’m totally behind on blogging and there are TONS of awesome posts to come… but you guys, I COULD NOT WAIT to share this sweet adorable news now that it’s officially out!! This has been the happiest little secret to be a part of and I am beyond excited for our beautiful friends! Jenna & Jake are expecting their first BABY!  AHH!! I can’t believe I just got to type that!! Adam and I are so excited for these two and can’t wait to be a part of it all and get to meet their little baby!!

Seriously, this all just fills my heart up with so much happiness. SO MANY HAPPY TEARS! Haha I actually made a complete fool of myself when Jenna and I met up for lunch and she handed me a “present” – when I pulled the wine bottle out of the bag and saw “Only the best friends get promoted to Aunt” I legitamately screamed and cried and ran and hugged my beautiful friend and felt SO MUCH JOY for them. Knowing how excited they are to be starting a family and that it’s really happening now makes me beyond-words excited. Congratulations Jenna & Jake! If you can’t tell already, we are SO SO EXCITED!!! <3

We met up this past weekend to celebrate and take some photos for the announcement, and somehow I even managed to make it through more happy tears while editing these haha. So here are just a few of my favorites from this sweet session. I cannot wait for all that’s to come!!

Welcome!

For me, it's as much about delivering gorgeous images of your important moments, as it is about you enjoying each of those moments. It's about the experience, about the joy and the love and the relationships with the most important people in your life. Whether it's your wedding day, engagement, or family session, it's about you soaking up every bit of it, and having beautiful photos to cherish afterwards. I love love, and love meeting new people. I am always honored to be a part of your story, thanks for visiting!
