Seth is gearing up for grad in a couple months and has big plans for his future!  Seth has always had a knack for the arts and he plans to use those abilities as he pursues a degree at Cedarville University in Industrial and Innovative Design.

I’ve had the privilege of watching Seth grow up and can tell you that he is a great guy who is friendly and outgoing and will take the time to say “hi” or even give my little guys a high-five.

Rachel…she’s such a sweetheart!  Her friends describe her as gentle, friendly, sincere, discerning, and fun—WOW!  Even though I took Rachel’s senior portraits last summer (check out her dark tan! :)) I still wanted to share her pics on my new blog.

Rachel has had a full senior year at Shekinah Christian School where she led her volleyball team to Regional Semi-Finals and the girls basketball team to Regional Finals…throw in a class trip to Spain and I’d say she’s had a pretty eventful year!

Rachel, blessing to you as you attend college and follow the Lord’s leading for each step ahead!

Zach and Allison—can there be any cuter or sweeter couple?!  Both Zach and Allison have personalities that are genuine, friendly, sweet, and caring.  The joy in their lives and their love for God is evident by the smiles they always seem to have on their faces!

Where did Zach and Allison meet?  Well, they grew up in the same community and went to the same school and church, so I guess you could say they’ve pretty much known each other their whole lives!  Their similarities and interests mesh together perfectly as they both enjoy going for walks, spending time with family, good conversations and coffee, and playing games–especially ping pong (Allison always wins!)

I asked both of them to share what they love about the other and I’m just going to let them say it in their own words, because they can say it better than I could ever interpret… and it’s just plain sweet!

Zach, what do you love about Allison?  “I love Alli’s infectious smile that brightens up a room.  She has a true servant heart.  She volunteers at Agora kids’ club and truly connects with the children there.  Alli has a way of relating with people that always seems to make them feel better about themselves after talking with her.  Alli’s greatest desire is to be in a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ.  She cooks good food. :)”

Allison, what do you love Zach? “I love that he can always make me smile and laugh, no matter how lame his jokes are.  🙂 I love that he is a country farm boy at heart.  It’s obvious he loves his nieces and nephew, and they love him.  He is a people person-very easy to talk to, friendly, with a good sense of humor.  And so much, much more….”

One more thing… I’m very proud to say that Allison is my niece and I love her dearly!  AND I’m excited to have Zach join our family–he’ll be a great addition!

Allison had the idea of using an old fashioned bicycle for some of the portraits. It was a fun addition to the session!

She's so pretty!
