THE VANOVEN FAMILY

Oh, this session hits a soft gooey place in my heart for so many reasons.

Rachel and I became friends over 8 years ago. Over the years, we have both been through incredibly transforming times in our lives. Between the kids, the moves, the marriage, the pets, the businesses and more, we have surely watched each other grow into who we are now. I really couldn't be more proud of this woman. I will spare more mushy details, but I cannot emphasize how special these guys are to me.

I was so lucky to be able to fly to Indiana and photograph them, and I only hope that I will be back to do it again soon.

I love you guys!

KELLY + KYLE: JACKSONVILLE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I know that I have talked incessantly about the Walters family. I can't help it. These three sisters have become such a welcome cornerstone for KLP and I adore their family more than I can say. I am truly grateful that Kelly and Kyle came to meet with me that day, well over a year ago.

Their wedding day was perfect, which is not something that is easily said about most weddings. They chose a charming historic home in Riverside to host their ceremony and celebration. It was the perfect setting for the intimate gathering of family and close friends.

These two are so effortlessly easy to photograph, of course. (Their engagement session can be seen here.) They exude affection that translates so genuinely through the lens. I am so blessed to have been able to be a part of their day.

Kelly and Kyle, I wish you a long life of happiness and joy together. You are both so special to Karlyn and I! Looking forward to seeing you in a few months for Katie and Blair's wedding!

Oh yes, that is a Pride parade in the background :) Love it!
