These ladies are some of my favorites to hang out and share life with. A few weeks back we had the opportunity to grab lunch after church and catch up!! I love hearing about what’s going on in their life and having awesome discussions about the Lord! Middle school/early high school were really defining times for me and I remember the struggles and frustrations that came with them! ;) God is good through every situation and my hope and prayer for these girls is that their relationship with Jesus is sweeter every day and that they become women who are world-changer and life-impacters. Because our world most definitely needs woman who ardently and passionately love Jesus and want to make His name known across this world!!

A little bit about each of them, because I’m nice and like to embarrass them!

Ashley is feisty, hilarious, and a whole lot of “oomph” in a little bitty person. ;) You know how they always say great things come in small packages? Well this chica has a killer voice and we like to party hard in praise band together. It’s a good time, y’all. One day when she’s famous I’ll re-share this post and basically be famous too.

Taylor is so sweet. She always has something funny to say and is an avid lover of chapstick (which we frequently tease her about!) haha. She has a beautiful heart for Jesus and I’ve loved watching her blossom over the past year! We were roomies together this past summer for our youth group’s mission trip and let me tell you, we have some great memories from that week!

Jessica cracks me up with her honest, fiery spirit! Since having two Jessica’s is much too confusing, we’ve officially dibbed me “Jess” and her “Ica”, much to her dismay.  She is full of passion and I can’t wait to watch the Lord take all of her fire and use her to change lives!

Not only are these girls beautiful on the outside, they have beautiful hearts on the inside as well. I had a blast taking some photos of them and laughing together — the golden light was so perfect as the sun was setting and we played in the last few remnants of fall. My hope is that you can see a glimpse of their sweet, genuine personalities through these images and love them just as much as I do.  These are the images that make me fall in love with photography more and more everyday. I couldn’t be more blessed to have the opportunity to capture real laughter and real life. It really is my favorite.

Much love,
Jessica
