Gosh, do you remember being a kid in the '90s?

Making mud pies, creating potions out of leaves and whatever flowers we could find, drinking water from the garden hose, and running down the street to knock on our best friend's door.

"Can you come out and play?"

We could spend an entire day outside doing absolutely nothing and somehow have the best time.

And now here we are, the parents. Sitting in the backyard with our friends, a mimosa in hand, watching our little people make those same memories.

My sweetest friend Jessica and her little M & K brought all those childhood memories back.

Little tea parties, leaves tangled in their hair, the smell of fall in the air, a furry best friend wandering around, and two little girls making up their own adventures.

No big plans. No rushing. Just a little sunshine, laughter, and imagination.

There's something so sweet about the way children find happiness in the simplest things. A backyard becomes a whole world, a swing feels like flying, and a pile of leaves becomes the greatest treasure.

Maybe that's something we can bring back as millennial parents. More afternoons outside, more muddy hands, more laughter with friends, and more time to simply enjoy being together.

Because one day, these will be the memories they talk about. The afternoons they wish they could have just one more time.

And goodness, what a beautiful thing it is to give them that.

Let them be little. Let them make a mess. Let them have a childhood worth remembering.

Four months of waiting for a moment that never seems to last long enough.

The Loyd family reminded me that sometimes the smallest moments hold the biggest memories. That first embrace, the laughter, the feeling of finally having your people close again.

I've had the honor of witnessing their journey, and this is one of those reunions that will stay with me.

Because at the end of the day, it's never just a photograph. It's a moment they waited months to experience and a memory they'll carry for years.

The Loyds made it. ❤️

When Elizabeth and I first spoke, I knew how much this day meant to her.

She was ready to have her husband home.

And as someone who understands military life, I know that sometimes it's not the big moments you miss the most. It's the ordinary ones.

Having your person beside you. Watching your children make memories together. Going through another day without having to count down the time until you're reunited.

And looking through these photographs, that's what stays with me.

The way they held each other. The children wrapped in those embraces. The little moments in between that say so much without a single word.

Because this wasn't just about a soldier coming home.

It was about a family finally getting to share a moment they'd been waiting for.

Elizabeth, thank you for trusting me with yours.

Young love and a whole future ahead. 🤍

There's something about watching two people who are just beginning to build a life together. The excitement, the uncertainty, the dreams, and all the little moments in between.

They don't know everything the future holds, and that's part of the beauty of it.

For now, they have each other, this moment, and a story that's only just beginning.

Here's to growing together and all the chapters still waiting to be written.

No pressure. Everything is fine.

I’m just going to leave this here and let the intrusive thoughts do their thing.

But since you’re thinking about me now… you might as well book the shoot.

You know how to reach me 😉
