way back in highschool – yikes, ok, not waaaaay back, ouch. *a few, a couple, some years ago* – i had culinary class with nick and samantha. they are adorable highschool sweethearts with 2 beautiful daughters. this year has been a tough one for them, as they lost their youngest, Aayla, earlier this year. but this family – they are tough cookies & they are fighters. Nick has served in the Navy and is now serving for the National Guard. Rylee is the proudest big sis and couldn’t way to show off these adorable photos of her baby sister. enjoy a few of my favorite images from my time with them. :)
