the fun facts

One of my first “photoshoots” (around 2011) was of my dad and brothers building our backyard fire pit! (Click through the photos to see!) While they invested in hours of hard work, I picked up my camera and captured every part of it with my little purple point and shoot. That was just the beginning as my passion has grown into a true artistic talent that I am able to use to serve others in order to create and capture meaningful moments that will be cherished for generations.

I love Nicholas Sparks novels!  A life goal of mine is to own every one of his books in hardback covers. I'm a sucker for romance!

My favorite show of all time is Friends! 

I love HOT weather and the beach

I am obsessed with anything that sparkles

the fun facts

We have moved 7 times in our marriage, but we have settled in Beavercreek, Ohio for now! We enjoy the community and the parks around our house. We have been attending church in Xenia, Ohio at Lighthouse Baptist Church. Jordan and I are both coaching at Legacy Christian Academy, him JV boys basketball and I'm the high school softball pitching coach. We have been homeschooling our children and we love the freedom that comes with that! We are always looking for new parks to explore and new friends to enjoy.

2011

I met Jordan, my now husband,  at Church camp when I was 14 years old.  I was too young to date, so we became friends and got to know one another. We bonded over text and FaceTime because he lived 90 minutes away from me.  We fizzled out for a little while, but then reconnected when he accidentally called  one day.
