Will + Lauren

  • Rustic Mountain View Wedding | West Virginia

This is a very special wedding that I’m sharing today! You’re going to love the sunset portraits and the rustic portraits in the woods with glowy light peeking through the trees…. but what we love the most about this wedding is the couple! They are family!! Will is Michael’s cousin and since Michael and I grew up together, I have known Will pretty much all of his life. We didn’t spend a lot of time together until Michael and I started dating in high school and I would travel with them to celebrate Thanksgiving in West Virginia. I have always experienced Will to be the smart one… the cousin with all the brains! He’s always been mature, wise and kind. It was no surprise that he ended up becoming an aeronautical engineer!

Scotland 2019

  • A Family Adventure in Oban & Ardgour

Some of you may think we’re crazy to have attempted this trip. It’s understandable. We left Virginia for a ten day trip to Scotland with a 29 month old and 3 month old. Believe me, we had our reservations about this. It would have been very easy to say “No, not this year”…. but we had the time off…. we loved our last Scotland trip… new friends would be joining us on this trip… and honestly, we wanted to redeem the fact that we lost our chance to go to Europe last year because I was still pregnant with Baby James and I couldn’t travel in case we lost him while we were gone. Talk about a sad reason to miss out on a trip with friends. It was awful.

Graham’s Second Month

Today Graham is three months old! No, that is not a typo. I realize this is Baby Graham’s TWO MONTH blog post but it’s just a month late. Oops. In my defense, we had a lot of weddings in May and June… and then a week long conference that was out of state… and then fourth of July at the Lake… and then we were in Scotland for ten days and just returned this past Saturday. Whew. It’s been pretty busy around here. While we love to be active and do a lot with our time, we also love just being home. I’m so excited to get to a chance to go through our personal pictures from the past two months and pick my favorites.
