The Armstrong Family {Detroit, MI}

Life holds so much unpredictable richness I too often forget to embrace. 

When you meet someone, whether or not your futures are intricately intertwined is uncertain. If I'm honest, I don't think my present self thinks much about my future self in relation to many other people, outside of my husband and daughter. This was especially true in my freshman year of college, when I was meeting new people every day-- when I met Meghan. Little did I know, seven years later, I'd be living in a city I never knew I loved, surrounded by a community who loves Jesus and loves me, because of a dream God planted on Meghan's heart way before we even met. 

Kevin and Meghan, inspired by God, bravely lead a team to Detroit to plant a church on Wayne State's campus. God nudged about twenty others to join them and here we are, in our third year, growing and changing and striving to be the church God wants us to be. 

The morning of this session was so incredibly cold-- 35 degrees in October cold. But the sun was begging to be captured through the turning Boston Edison trees and the Armstrongs were unsurprisingly willing to brave it. Helping me behind the camera for laughs were Meghan's brother and his wife, who were visiting from out of town; they too effortlessly got behind the camera for a few shots!

Kevin, Meghan, Ellary, Faren, Immy, Evan, and Bronwen-- you are beautiful. It was a delight photographing you!
