Hoover Family

Some families have a lot of reasons to celebrate. The Hoover's are one of them. Life can sometimes give us a hard journey to walk out, but God is always faithful to see us through to the end. I sensed a strong faith in the midst of this family and I was honored to be a part of these family portraits last night. Peace like a river was flowing as we shared an hour of life together. Little Levi stole the show with his two-year old ways of not wanting to smile, then smiling, then not wanting to, then waving good bye to me (before I was done). "Get that lady out of here!" he must've been thinking. "I just want to play with Grandpa and Grandma!" Meet the Hoover's...

Aaron & Nicole: Two Become One

We love to travel outside of Lancaster County for weddings and photo shoots. 4th of July weekend we were able to travel to Warminster, which is about an hour and half away towards Phili. Aaron and Nicole had a beautiful wedding and we were very blessed to be part of it. Aaron just kept saying, "I can't believe she's my wife!" The reception was at the beautiful Curtis Hall Arboretum. Everyone enjoyed the night complete with a chocolate fountain, a great dance floor, and sparklers. Aaron & Nicole, your love for each other is so sweet. May you continue to be amazed with each other! A few images I loved...

Is There Room For Me?

I looked out the back window last night and this is what I saw. There's a first time for everything...

Family Time

This past weekend, our family got together for a picnic and a trip to Dutch Wonderland. This was Malakai's first time. He liked the rides but the water park was a bit overwhelming to him. We went on a train ride, pony ride, the flume and a few others. Mom and I even rode a ride just by ourselves. Let's just say, I used to do spinning rides a lot better than I do now. I'd rather do a roller coaster any day. It was so fun to be a kid again. My nephew, Clayton enjoyed the bumper cars and bulldozer ride and went down this one water slide about ten times in a row with me catching him at the bottom. Thanks Mom and Dad for a great day together!

Women at the Beach

This past week was the first annual Martin Women Beach Trip. What a great time was had by all. Great weather, great food, and great fellowship! The kids did wonderful and enjoyed the sand, water, and boat adventure. It was fun to get to know my mother-in-law and sister-in-laws much better. Here's a little preview of our fun...

4th of July Camp Out

It felt more like a fall camp out than a summer one which was so refreshing for all of us. Bocce Ball, smores, mountain pies, fireworks, tents, good friends...what more could we ask for to celebrate the holiday?

Hammock Fun

We just hung our Nicaraguan hammock today and are LOVIN' it already! Eric has been asking for one for awhile and now we can all relax in the shade with our feet off the ground. Here's to many more lazy days!
