This family 🥹😍 some of the most amazing + kind people I have met along this photography journey I’ve been on for the past 14 years.
Melissa has a beautiful outlook on life, and is navigating the heartache of her husband being deployed across the world while simultaneously being an incredible mother to their babies, and….she hit 100K on here today!!! , keep being spicy Melissa, we love her!!
Paisley Kate is the kind of kid that will change the world someday, and is already well on her way with her business she started several years ago, where all of her net proceeds are donated to various organizations who help others. She started .and.harper to support her brother Parker who has autism by selling bracelets, and it has evolved to shirts, sweatshirts, PJs that she designs herself, + so much more. Go check out her page and support this incredible young entrepreneur!
Parker gave his Mama the biggest, sweetest hugs during our session, which I later learned is something he wouldn’t do for years when he was younger. He has grown and persevered through so much and I can’t wait to see him working with his big sis at .and.harper someday!
Porter is hilarious and had me laughing the entire time. On our walk back to their beach rental after our session we came to a spot on the sidewalk where there were sprinklers running and he said “I’m too pretty to get wet!” 😂
Preston, ohhhh Preston. He stole my heart by holding my hand on our walk back and inviting me to dinner with them 🥹 he has the sweetest little soul and also had me laughing the entire time!
And finally, the missing piece that is selflessly serving our country, Matt. Although I haven’t met him (yet!) I know that he is an incredible man and I am fervently praying for him and all of the others serving and cannot wait for them to all return home to their families. And when he does, a beach trip is in store and we will be updating these photos ❤️
