A few years ago God brought some amazing people into our lives through a small group community at our church in Nashville. Two of those people were John and Caroline. They were in Nashville so John could go to Pharmacy school at Lipscomb. While they were there Caroline went to get her masters in Library Sciences. Not long after we moved, they packed up and moved to Chattanooga for John to take a residency at a hospital.. and not long after THAT they found out they were expecting little Griffin!

These two are some of the kindest, most gentle, tender and loving spirits I know. They have walked with David and I through some hard stuff, and have been such a light to us. I was more than honored when they asked me to take photos of their family and of little Griffin! They scream fall (even though it was about 90 outside!).. but all of the colors and shapes made for a perfect afternoon. And little Griffin was an angel. He smiled (and you’ll see all of the silly faces he makes) through the whole ordeal. When they got home they realized he had a fever! So the little guy stuck it out and was such a good sport even though he didn’t feel well. He is so much like his parents.

Thank you John and Caroline for your kindness and friendship. So honored to be able to be with you all during this stage of your lives!! (( Chattanooga Tn.
