I was a freshman in high school when Robyn’s oldest sister was a senior.

I was a sophomore when Robyn’s middle sister was a freshman.

I was a senior when Robyn was a freshman.

I only met her oldest sister Amy a couple of times in Mock Trial, a club I joined and then had to quit shortly into the semester. Her sister Lesley and I were in a class together and we always got along swimmingly (and both had a crush on our film teacher, of course.) When I was a senior, I decided on a whim to take Honors Spanish 1 after three years of French. It ended up being one of my favorite classes of my senior year, the biggest reason being walking into first period and being greeted with Robyn’s smiling face every day! She’s sweet and bubbly and absolutely cracks me up (and has the cutest voice ever) and just the sort of friend every girl wants.

When I went to college, Robyn and I wrote a couple of letters and then lost touch. When I joined Facebook, she was one of the first people I tried to find. We finally got in touch and now she’s engaged and I practically begged her to let us photograph her wedding day… It was sort of embarrassing. :)

Nate and I photographed Robyn and Jake’s engagement session around downtown Nashville (I know, I know- We do photograph in our hometown once in a while!) I’m so looking forward to their fall wedding in Memphis and then making Robyn and Jake be our next best friends. :)

I had some high expectations for Jake and he absolutely exceeded them!

Know how sometimes when you see someone for the first time in a decade all you notice is how different they look? Robyn looks the exact same as when we said goodbye 11 years ago. Not a wrinkle, extra pound, or hair out of place… I’m pretty sure she’ll look just like this in 50 years from now. :)

I love you guys. :)

Robyn and Jake, I love you both and we’ll see y’all soooooooooon!

More Nashville Blog Love!

Last month, Nate and I got the best opportunity to photograph a session for Sarah Kroger, a Christian music artist whose album is coming out later this year. Sarah’s sister Danielle was a best friend of Nate’s in college, so we were so flattered when she contacted us to do the shoot. :)

We loved going around Nashville (some spots almost literally in our backyard.) This first one’s by far my favorite.
