magical {family}

i have been so super excited to share this family session with you all! i first met nick and tessa a few months back when jim and i had the opportunity to go to dinner with them. they are a sweet, fun couple, who pastor the Rooted church in fort worth. they told me their story of their adopted daughter olive, who is by the way unbelievably adorable. they spoke of her adoption in a way i have never heard before. they felt called by God to adopt a child to directly live out the gospel in their own lives. how cool is that!!?? what a story of redemption they have through little olive. i knew right away that i had to document this sweet family. i think the outcome is just magical, and not at all because of my efforts. thank you O family for allowing me to be your photographer!

i got to see olive on friday night at jimmy’s birthday bash. and do you know the first thing she said to me? she said…”corn field?” “heather”. melt my heart.
