The beautiful thing about the military world is the people you connect with through others. One of my photographer girlfriends from Fort Hood, Amy, referred me to this sweet family for their vacation. The W family was coming down to celebrate their sister’s 30th birthday (how cool to spend your 30th birthday at the most magical place on earth?!), and announce something else super special- which you’ll see at the very end of my blog. I loved spending the day with Kayla, Brad, their daughter Eloise, + Kayla’s sister Whitney. I bounced back and forth between Kayla, Brad + Eloise, and the 30th Birthday Party group! It was so much fun! The heat of the day was definitely unforgiving, as you’ll see from sweet Eloise’s cheeks!

W family, thanks so much for letting me join you and tell this part of your story.

See what that precious little hat says?
