I first met Courtney at our local CoOp a few years ago.  She is such a sweet person and has made such an impact in my life.  She is such a strong reminder of what a friend should be.  She always makes time for others and stays in contact even when life gets crazy.  Her smile is infectious and she never seems to let things bother her.  She was there for me when my brother passed away, and I know she is such a blessing to so many people!

I can remember the first year I taught Stone in PE and being amazed at what all he taught me.  From dinosaurs to art and he brought me a whale he drew that hung on my refrigerator for a long time.  Peyton always has a smile and has been such a sweet friend to Kathryn.  She is definitely her mother’s child. Paige is precious, too.  I know she keeps Heath and Courtney on their toes, but I just love to watch her.

We are so thankful for Heath’s service in the Coast Guard.  Coasties have such a special place in my heart because my brother in law is also in the Coast Guard, and he and my sister are in California.  Heath is so gentle with both Courtney and the children.  He has such a quiet strength about him.  Watching Heath and Courtney together is like a fairytale.  Their love for each other is so evident and beautiful.

This little family is precious, and I think it is displayed through their images how much they love each other!  Courtney, thank you so much for the opportunity to capture these special moments.  You all were a dream to work with.  We pray that the Lord would use your love for each other to build, encourage and strengthen other marriages and families.
