I will be forever grateful for Lauren and the fact that our tiny two bedroom apartment didn’t scare her off. My fiancé and I made coffee, snuggled, and read the love letters Lauren asked us to write aloud to each other. All the while, she snapped away, creating images I’ll cherish forever. This is the…
Read MoreIt’s hard for me to believe the little girl we had prayed so hard for, labored so long for, and endured a traumatic delivery for is already seven. The year we spent fighting sleep and crying is long gone. The terrible twos are over. The strong-willed threenager we had is now a polite, intelligent, well-spoken…strong…

Every few months this year my calendar is jam-packed with families who are having their entire year documented. While I still have my monthly YITL clients, I also have a group of families who have chosen to have their year documented quarterly. Every three months I am mentally exhausted and full of love.
