Life with London: Six months together

Six months ago this little strawberry blonde made her way into my life. I have been trying to take time to document her life through photos and words so I can always remember this time. Her photos are slowly getting edited and the journal doesn’t have quite as many entries as I’d like but I’m glad to have something. While looking through it tonight one morning jumped out at me. On April 12th, I texted her image to Daddy while he was at work (something we do almost daily) and he texted back,

“I fall in love with her more everyday”

My eyes watered as I saw his words come  across my phone and I thought to myself, there isn’t a more true statement.

This little girl is changing every day right before my eyes just like everyone told me she would. She has graduated to sleeping in the crib in her own room yet the tiny bassinet still resides next to our bed. I am reluctant to take it down because it will mean that portion of her baby stage is over. It’s a catch-22. I want to see her grown and mature yet I also want to keep her little. I realize the need to slow down and enjoy all the moments I get to spend with her each day.

I’m starting to feel more and more like a mama… like I’m learning what to do and adjusting to this new role in my life. And maybe I’m getting somewhat good at it by now. I don’t know, you may have to ask London next time you see her.

To Londy,

You are beautiful, a true miracle answer to my prayers. I love you lots baby girl. The most important thing I can give you is love and I hope you always feel it surrounding you like a big bear hug.

I have a lot to show and share with you in this big, exciting world. And I know we’ll be laughing together while I make good on that statement.

Love, Mama

Engaged: Amy & Joey

These two are made for each other! They compliment one another perfectly with their sly smiles and warm giggles all while finishing each other’s sentences. They have an inspiring story together that was recently capped off with one of the most memorable proposal stories I’ve ever seen.

Please click here to experience it.

It’s incredible to see love like this displayed. Joey and his friends had it all mapped out down to when and where Amy would view the video while at school. When I asked them to tell me more about their relationship their eyes just lit up! You don’t see a love like theirs everyday and that’s why I am so happy to be working with them.

We had special permission to photograph at one of the many places featured in Joey and Amy’s proposal video . . . Vala’s Pumpkin Patch!

Thank you Amy and Joey! Thanks for sharing your story and exploring Vala’s with me as we captured the next step in your lives . . . engagement photos! I’m already looking forward to your wedding in October as I know it will just one more page in your book of memories together.
