“This night is sparkling, don’t you let it go…all I know is that it was enchanting to meet you.” 

– Taylor Swift

Without knowing why, the above lyrics pretty much describe the bubbly, sparkling and full of life Makenzie. She is sweet and full of energy. She is encouraging and outgoing.

It was a breeze to photograph her. The expressions in her photos were not forced, but natural. Makenzie’s laugh is classic, her smile is brilliant and her eyes are striking. The lighting was absolutely perfect and the scenery was gorgeous. It was a flawless shoot.

The complete pleasure to work with this young lady was amazing and enchanting and sparkling.

“Put thou thy trust in God

In duty’s path go on

Fix on His word thy steadfast eye

So shall thy work be done.” 

– Martin Luther

Firm and unwavering in purpose, loyalty, or resolve—that is steadfast Lizzie.  Among the boiling pressure of others to be what she is not and believe things that she cannot, there is not even a shadow of change in heart or alter in mind. Lizzie is settled, determined and faithful. Her heart is brimming, no, spilling over in love and compassion. The kindnesses that she demonstrates come directly from sincerity. She is authenticity.

Every moment spent with this woman enriches the spirit.  Just being with Lizzie stirs the inner-self to reach farther and be stronger when faced with times of seemingly impossibilities.

From the Midwest all the way to the West Coast, this California girl’s life is impacting many hearts for good.

Lizzie is fixed on Jesus, in love with Mike and a brilliant cook.

She is a true, genuine friend.

“Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can—there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.”

An intellectual, an artist, an enchantment, that’s Josie. She is tall, slender, and freckled. Her eyes, as you can see, are deep and filled with wonder.

Josie looks at life through curious glasses. Everything is beautiful to her. Everywhere and in everything there is something to learn. It is that reason that we all have something to learn from her.

Like her paradigm, there should be no fear in asking questions—deep, hard questions. Modeling her, humility should be pursued—there is always something new to learn.

She is mature beyond her years.

Wherever she is, she is all there.

Shallow social media really cannot define a person’s true character. Online, she seemed very sweet and kind, but in person—wow, oh wow! She is so much deeper, sweeter and kinder than imaged. Meeting Josie is going to be a memory cherished. 

Your blue eyes and freckles and your smile. 

Your sweet disposition + wide eyed gaze. 

Josie, sweet Josie.
