I found out that I love taking photos...again. After editing these, I realized that I'm simply filled up by it. Here's why:

1. I was able to connect with two people who I haven't really interacted with since high school beyond an occasional chat after church, and then meet their two kids who are such a beautiful reflection of both of them.

2. After a day of commotion and stress and in-and-out errands, I found myself so peaceful while I was taking the photos (high five on a peaceful home, Anna and Matt!).

3. When I left, I thought I might have a little bit of a fistfight (...not really, but you know) with my daughter. When I got home, I couldn't wait to lap her up. 

So thank you, Anna and Matt and your two cute-beyond-cute little ones, for gracing me with a wonderful reminder of how grateful I am for these photos and the ability to take them.

Enjoy,

Rachel
