I had the honor of working with my friend Anna, who runs the most incredible Home Organizing and Cleaning Blog called “Ask Anna”. If you haven’t checked it out you really should, you’ll be inspired to organize your home and life! Thank you so much Anna for having such an incredible resource, and for being such an incredible person.

I met Anna last year, our two precious girls go to school together, and we started car pooling. Little did I know then what an incredible inspiration Anna would be in my life, and what an incredible ENCOURAGER should would be. I knew her blog inspired me, but Anna as a person really does bring life everywhere she goes. She’s full of love, encouragement, and she just shines in her Identity. She’s a woman that will call out the best in you, without you even knowing that’s what she’s doing!

Whenever I get to spend time with Anna I feel uplifted, completely full to the brim with Joy, and like I could take on the world. {When you go on her blog you get a glimpse of that, I know I always feel like I can take on my house, which is usually pretty daunting}

Anna contacted me a month or so ago about doing this photo shoot for her daughter. She’d has some special things planned for a while, and I was excited as her vision began to unfold. I also happen to know that her daughter is AMAZING much like her mom, and that she would tell a beautiful story! Below are some of my favorites from our shoot. Thank you Anna for the opportunity to capture her story, and THANK YOU for being YOU, your changing the world, and I’m grateful to be your friend. If you want to check out her Blog she blogged a few of her favorites from this shoot and you can see them HERE

P.S. I was so inspired by the idea to capture her daughter in her wedding dress that I am going to run a “Wedding Dress Mini” Special in SPRING 2014. So get ready to dust off those wedding dresses ladies!
