This past year has been one unlike any other for Lauren.

God has done a transformational work like never before for her.

Lauren and Emma’s new house is just another symbol of what this year has been all about: new beginnings.

I can’t believe how quickly Lauren’s new space has become a home, but it only makes sense. It is constantly filled with such joy and love.

Lauren and Emma lived in the same place for Emma’s entire little life, but in August they made the move to a bigger space, and it has turned out to be the best decision for them.

It has been a year of change for both of us. Lauren has been by my side in the past year and half during one of the most transitional times of my life. A lot of people ask me if Lauren has taught me a lot. I always say yes, but it is never the way they think.

Our friendship has taught me more about motherhood, love, and family than anything.

So it is such a joy and honor to be able to capture just that.

This is just another day in this home, and it sure is a beautiful life.
