Taylor. My best friend and encourager. We met a little over two years ago, and he has continued to bring copious amounts of joy into my life. He loves architecture, he is a brilliant musician, a wonderful storyteller, and a really great artist. He has a wonderful heart with a passion to serve people. He inspires to be bold enough to step into my dreams and to love with all that I have.

Lara. The blonde bombshell on the left. sister, best friend. She's an extremely talented photographer, artist, and craft expert! She continually grounds me and reminds me of who I really am. She has always been my biggest supporter. I probably wouldn't have accomplished half of what I have without her constant encouragement.

Jonathan Edward Brady. My bestie through college and pretty much my brother for life. He's honest, kind, and loves working with people (especially kiddos). He showed me what the world can look like if we love others selflessly enough.
Maegan. She is my Tina Fey. I never stop laughing when in her witty presence. She used to be my roommate, I'm still not over it. She is an art major at ODU, a seller of lovely books, and harbors a desire to one day open a coffee shop. She is currently planning her wedding, woo! I love her for many obvious reasons, her constant joy is only one of them.
Kelsie McNair. A new friend, but none-the-less dear. She is a musical muse, her sweet melodies continue to amaze and inspire me. I am blessed to have her contribute in so many ways in my life. She is a fashion darling and is the proud owner of With Lavender and Lace. She has a heart for community and always seems to bring everyone together in very creative ways!
Carter Mahnke. A musical genius. He is a founder of the band Goodwill Falcon, a videographer, and a world traveler. He is the main contributor to my musical endeavors. Basically he makes everything sound good. He is a wonderful friend and has been a great encourager through this whole process. As far as the photo, this is typically the view I have of him, and I thought it should be yours as well.

Ariel. My current roomie and sweet friend. She is a total babe! She sings sweet songs, is a lovely writer, and a wonderful dreamer. She has a heart for adventure, and I have no doubt that she will be in a far off land this time next year.
Alicia White. Amazing photographer and friend. She fearlessly left what she had planned, to do what she loved. And she inspires me to do the same, to boldly follow the vision I've been given. She has a beautiful heart, and loves anything that has to do with love. Her romantic vision reflects in her work, and I'm proud to be not just be her subject on occasion, but her friend.
My family. They are wonderful. I am a lucky girl to be related to such beautiful people who love one another and me, so much. They are all ridiculously talented, caring, and kind human beings.
