Chelsea and I go way back, so far back that I was just beginning my photography career when we met at a Bible Study...

How Chelsea found my blog:
When I was a freshman in college I went to a bible study that Lauren's dad hosted. I met her then and remember she took a ton of pictures that weekend, but I didn't realize she was a professional photographer. Fast forward a few years. In 2008 I had decided to start my own photography business. A friend of mine that also went to the bible study that weekend told me about Lauren's blog and I realized that I had met her 5 years earlier. I visited her blog that first time and was blown away by how amazing her images were. From then on, I stalked the blog, not really ever commenting (shame on me, I know!) In February of this year, I had the amazing opportunity to attend For the Love, an incredible, life changing week that Lauren was teaching at. I got to meet her again in Tennessee and loved how open and real she was just like she is on her blog. Her images and words continue to motivate and inspire me. You're awesome Lauren!


5 random things about her:

1) I have a weiner/beagle mix. We call her a weagle and her name is Izzy. She's pretty much the best dog in the world.

2) I love to ride roller coasters. It's just about the scariest thing you can do and still feel safe.

3) I am currently training for a half marathon, it's 13.1 miles. Not the most fun thing I've ever done, but I feel really great about the accomplishment.

4) I played soccer when I was younger and recently joined an indoor soccer team. I'm definitely a lot better in my head than I am in real life.

5) My husband and I just moved to Goldthwaite, Texas. It's a small town of about 1800 people in Central Texas. We came here because we prayed for the Lord to send us somewhere that has purpose and so here we are. And loving it.
