Since moving out East, this family has become one of our favorites. Theyāve been such a light in our lives. Theyāre just good people. Hardworking, kind, funny, family-oriented, and about as all-American as you can get. And the cattle⦠I mean, come on! They have some of the best cattle around, and if you know, you KNOW about the beef. Their beef is seriously the best.
Nicki is one of those women who seems to do it all. She works hard, loves her family fiercely, and is just genuinely one of the sweetest, most lovely people you could meet. And then thereās Chad, who somehow knows EVERYTHING about cows. š Ask him about one and he can probably tell you her name, who her sire is, who her mama is, what sheās produced, and probably the entire family tree while heās at it. The knowledge he has about his cattle is honestly so incredible to watch.
And between the two of them, theyāve raised some pretty amazing kids AND some pretty amazing cattle.
Charlea is the youngest and is one of the smartest, hardest-working, funniest little humans I know. She can make you laugh without even trying, and watching her grow has been such a joy.
And Teagan. š„¹ I donāt even know how many times she has ended up in front of my camera this past year, but I know Iāve been incredibly blessed every single time. She is one of those people who makes photographing her feel effortless, and Iāve loved getting to capture so many different moments of her life. Watching her grow through this past year has honestly been such a giftāand now sheās off to college, which Iām absolutely not emotionally prepared for.
Iām just really grateful our paths crossed. Grateful for the friendship, the laughs, the ridiculously good beef, the dogs, the college send-offs, and all the memories still to come.
We sure are lucky to know you guys! š
