She’s a girl after my own heart. She wants to be an English teacher, loves to sing and plays a mean game of soccer. She loves middle school aged kids, loves her brothers and loves God. Kayla’s the beautiful daughter of my dear friend from high school, Vicki Becker (nee Orndoff). Vicki and her man, Greg, met on vacation, fell in love and never looked back. Kayla is the eldest of their three children. And Kayla has the same mischievous spirit that her mom did in high school. I see it in her eyes and in those big dreams.

Kayla will be a senior in Bridgewater, Virginia this fall.

You are beautiful Kayla. I’ll tell you every time I see you.  oxox

His thought process is razor sharp . . . he’ll go far. That’s why I’m so glad that he balances it all out with his fishing rod and a peaceful spot. I have a feeling that time will become gold to him as time presses forward.

It was fun with Andrew. Only one of us went into the water that day. And we both laughed. Hard.

Meet Bridget. She’s the nurturer . . . the protector . . . her mamma’s second set of hands. She’s the eldest of the four Cassell kids, and pure joy.

Zoe is a firecracker who lives in the middle of the party. On our photo shoot day, she got a HUGE splinter deep in her finger. Sweet Zoe let her mom pull that splinter right out, slap on a bandaid, and she was ready to party once again.

Marin is a young lady with vision. And she commits to seeing her vision come to fruition. She knows what she wants, and she’s not afraid to get it! Marin’s focus is wrapped in giggles and hugs and pure delight.

And here is the most marriageable bachelor in the entire county!  With three sisters to keep him in line, Trent will be every sweet young thing’s dream.

The purpose of our lifestyle shoot was to capture four generations of this precious family . . . what a legacy of love they’ve created. Check out the Cassell Gallery for a peak into life as a Cassell.
