Bittersweet Goodbyes

My first goodbyes were one of the hardest. While visiting my friends at school, I got caught up in the routine and almost felt like I had never left VU. Carly, Kat, Amanda, and I were finally reunited after 5 months and it seemed like everything was right in the world. Things are definitely better when we are together (thanks Jack Johnson). I am so thankful to have these three girls in my life that constantly encourage me in my travels. It was sad to say goodbye for 4 months - believe me when I say that crying and driving is not a good combo- but I know that we all have great things coming up ahead for us and I couldn't be more excited about this next season of life.

I love you more than words can express, miss you already.

Joey + Mackenzie // Engaged

Joey is ridiculously musically talented, so it was no surprise when he brought his keyboard and mic down to the beach to sing to his soon-to-be fiancé, Mackenzie.

Joey & Mackenzie met a couple of years ago when they were set up as partners on a mission trip to Honduras and from there on they became inseparable. 

I am so happy for them and May 29th couldn't come any sooner!

Congratulations!!

Eric + Kayla // Lifestyle

Kayla & I graduated from high school together and I was so happy when she contacted me wanting to take pictures of her and her boyfriend, Eric. These two are such a sweet couple. 

They made my job so easy, barely even told them what to do! Eric started dancing with Kayla on the beach and I just about died. 

Enjoy!
