I’m sure you know by now that Missy is my bestest friend. And I happen to also be her photographer – and that’s how it started out – I was her photographer and she read my blog. And then Jared and I lost our first baby and they were going through a loss and then another – and we connected about that. And our great dane puppies. We had a puppy play-date long before we had kids to get together!

I’ve known her for 7 years! But we’ve only gotten REALLY close the last 4!

Missy is almost completely surrounded by BOYS! They have one girl pup – Bailey – but their other 5 family members – ALL BOYS!

Jager is Missy’s BABY – he’s an old baby – but he helped her heart heal after losing her babies – much like Schrute helped us heal after losing our first baby Enoch!

Missy wanted some pictures with him – because he’s certainly aging – and it’s hard to say goodbye to the puppy that helped you heal!

And then there’s this face. This crazy happy lovely face!

LOOK AT THOSE BLUE EYES!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

Their story is not my story to tell. BUT LET ME TELL YOU – it’s an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL ONE!

And maybe someday – you’ll be able to read about it here!

Or on our marriage blog – the one that has taken a backseat in life – but someday! SOMEDAY!

I LOVE THOSE FACES!

And our yearly picture with the big brother carrying his little brother on his shoulders.

SERIOUSLY!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

That moment – that was a candid moment. I turned around to check on them to see THIS! SO VERY SWEET!

MISSY – I LOVE YOU – you know that. BUT I JUST WANTED TO WRITE IT DOWN!

Thank you for your friendship and for asking me to create these memories for your family!
