Amid a blazing heatwave, the delivery of wood via barge for their neighbor’s dock, and a flurry of hugs, I was welcomed into the Carroll's home on a July morning. I gasped at their perfect green couch and stunning windows which were an actual dream!

We took photos in the living room with sunlight just pouring in, by the fireplace Chris put in, in the room he decided to paint himself. After a doorway peek in his office I spotted little his little girl's artwork and his great grandfather's flag framed up just like my grandfathers flag was and I cried. We stood around the kitchen island and laughed about our toddlers and the dog nudged my camera suspiciously until I patted her head. Worship music drifted into every room as life quietly, joyfully held us all captive to another miracle’s arrival.

Capturing a family in the home they love is the very best. Photos framed on the walls with memories, knowing yours will join them in this “one present beautiful moment” is something that I love so deeply!

Tender brushed kisses against baby’s head, soft hugs, adoring glances, the shrieks of A’s laughter over Dad reading a book, the peace of being held by Mama. What a good, good life. And what a joy to see it! Congratulations to the dear Carroll family who showed up with their hearts on their sleeves, their precious girls, their whole world in their arms.
