The Krieders. I just love this little fam. Fun fact I went to school for a year with both Kelly and Joel. They then waited for each other for a whole year as they served in missions on opposite sides of the world! Isn’t that amazing?! Then they got married in Hawaii (sadly our dates conflicted and we couldn’t shoot it) and then after a time they got pregnant with their first! Whats even more amazing is that these two packed everything up and became missionaries to Africa when Beniah was just a little over 3 months old. I’m not kidding when I say these two are AMAZING! Their faith and courage is so inspiring to me.

Last spring Kelly was pregnant with their sweet little girl Phoebe. Since it’s almost been a year since this shoot I wanted to reflect back. I did their engagement, pregnancy/moving announcement, family, maternity and newborn photos. Now they are renovating a home and I know it is going to be breathtaking! I am so honored when families choose me again and again to photograph their stories. It is so humbling and I truly truly don’t take it lightly. I am blessed abundantly and am so thankful for the beautiful families and couples God has put in my life and business. Thank you guys and Thank you Krieders! You two are so perfect for each other and I cant wait for family photos in the house when its all completed!

Also if you scroll down to the end you can see Beniah and Natty “playing” together. More like my Natalie stalking and freaking Beniah out with her lack of personal boundaries but still it was cute! haha! Beniah and my Natalie are just 5 weeks apart! It was so fun to be pregnant with Kelly and then see our kids meet and walk together. How fun!
