These college sweethearts have such a precious story. LSU brought these two together: Taylor cheered and Kevin was on the mound. They are each other’s biggest fans and support one another in such huge ways. I couldn’t help think that after hearing their story, how the phrase “absence makes the heart grow fonder” must have been (and still be) so true.

The profession Kevin is in requires so much sacrifice and isn’t for the faint of heart. (And also let’s just say I have so much respect for Taylor and that she is a boss babe mama I aspire to be!) With lots of travel, goodbyes, unpredictable work schedules, I realized even more how simply being in the same room with those who matter most can be something that’s so often taken for granted. But this family has a tenderness that would make your heart melt.

We spent a day in the beginning of summer together, documenting their time in Atlanta with their newest addition to the family, Sadie Grace!

I’ve just gotta say it: the privilege of hearing the stories and getting to know those who step in front of my lens, even if it’s just for a little bit, is something I’ll forever be grateful for.
