Aaron + Grace: Ames Engagement Session

These two complement each other so well. I originally got to know Grace through my time with the UNI Navigators, and met Aaron for the first time during a summer in Jacksonville. Aaron & Grace both ended up down in Jacksonville the following summer, hit it off—and less than two years later, they're almost married! 

It was so much fun to spend an hour (during March, let me say, and on an almost-70 degree afternoon!) with the soon-to-be-Trents. They have a crazy funny sense of humor, but still politely laughed at my horrible jokes. ;) With their humor, smarts, style, and love for Jesus, Grace and Aaron are going to take this world by storm. We are less than a month away from their wedding, and it's going to be a beautiful day—I can't wait! 

Snow Fun

Winter is hard in general, especially here in the midwest! Not only are days darker, but they can be soooo much more cold. We're talking the negative numbers and winds that cut through your skin like ninja swords would! So, you learn pretty quickly to take advantage of "warm" days…and by that, I mean in the 30's. Since most of my time these days is spent indoors doing homework or just hiding from the cold—and not with my camera in my hands—I will occasionally grab it and text a few friends to get some fresh air and laughter outside. Snow or no snow, as long as the light is great I don't mind a little bit of cold. Neither did Emily and Jenna! Thanks, ladies!

Welcome!

A new blog just comes with the territory when you get a new website, I guess. I'm super excited to try out this new space and see what it is like! That will determine if I continue to write here, or go back to my old blog. Anyhow, I think I'll start off with a look at the past…haha. But seriously, I have no new sessions to upload, so I might as well do a personal post!
