Adam and Lauren | Franklin Couples Photographer

I find it interesting how time and time again love seems to weave its way into people's lives when they least expect it. How incredible it is when one stops searching for love - not from the disappointment that comes in believing that love may be only for everyone else, but through the understanding and reliance that there is One whose timing is perfect - is when it finally appears. 

Enter Lauren and Adam; two people whose paths crossed less than a year ago. At the time, they were both content to be patient and trust that there was plan for their lives far greater than they ever imagined. And since meeting each other, their lives have never been the same.

It is completely evident to anyone who spends even a moment with these two that what they share is something truly special and unique; the constant smiles, genuine laughter and radiating joy. And pure contentment. Content in being exactly who they are, where they are and making the most of every moment they have together.

All based on a strong foundation of faith in the One who brought them together. Putting God first in their lives, as individuals as well as a couple, and then thinking of each other before themselves. It seems to be a simple recipe for a solid relationship, but often the most difficult elements to achieve. But for Lauren and Adam, it's just who they are.

Brought together by God's perfect timing. And I'm so looking forward to seeing what's ahead for these two. (No pressure!)

Graham | Spring Hill Newborn Photographer

They say that once you become a parent, all else pales in comparison. I'm honestly not sure who "they" really are and never having been a parent myself, I can't verify this as fact or fiction from personal experience. I can, however, say that I'm inclined to agree, now having spent time with one of the most precious bundles of joy ever and his parents who just can't stop glowing with happiness. Born July 13 at 9:07 p.m., 6lbs 4.4 oz. and 19 3/4" long, this little man has completely stolen my heart.

Graham is a true blessing in every way. Nick and Julie have waited a long time for him to arrive. Now that he's here, they can't even remember what life was like just a few short weeks ago. And they certainly don't want to when they have a beautiful little boy with ten perfect fingers, ten perfect toes and an already adorable smile to love on.

Future football star? Brilliant scientist? Famous (and highly good-looking, of course) actor? Major business tycoon? Time will only tell what the future holds for this tiny life. For now, Nick and Julie are willing to savor every moment with this precious gift they've been given. And I'm perfectly content to share this journey right along with them.
