brandon & nellie | engaged

this couple is very special to me. nellie is a very dear friend. but not just your average 'very dear friend'. she is the friend who saved my life. we have traveled together, laughed together, cried together, prayed together and she never left my side when i was sick with malaria. she is absolutely beautiful inside and out. brandon is a wonderful brother in Christ. he has encouraged me so many times with his words and kind, sincere heart. it has been common knowledge for quite some time that these two would end up together, so it was REALLY exciting when it finally became official! they both have such a passion for God and for people. i am so blessed to know them and i CAN'T WAIT to help photograph their wedding in july!

a familiar face

you all remember these chubby cheeks and rock-a-bye baby browns. yep. they belong to my nephew, of course. 

 i did a short session with him before i left for Haiti and just decided it was about time i finished editing them. 

so i did. 

and here are my faves.
