and with each milestone big & small, from our engagement, to joining our bank accounts, to bringing lincoln home from the hospital, the heart of our family has grown. and being storytellers at heart, we felt we owed it to ourselves and to the spirit of our family, to document this fleeting season.

so, we called katie.

katie is a caring friend and an equally talented photographer, and we were thrilled when she honored our request to take some photos with the 3 [and a half] of us.

thank you for capturing this season in our life… for freezing these moments in time. your images our a blessing to our family.
