Buckle up for some gorgeous Poquoson beach family photos! David and I have known Ryan and Kristina even longer than we’ve known each other! I went to college with Ryan, and Kristina worked with David’s best friend – coincidentally enough that’s also where Kristina met Ryan!

We’ve known them together and we’ve known them apart, and I can truly say they were made for each other. It has been such a joy watching their relationship develop over the years (fun fact, David officiated their wedding!), and now watching them be parents is even sweeter.

Kristina and I took turns being pregnant. Each time one of us would give birth the other would find out about a pregnancy! It was a wild couple of years. It seems that through these “adulting” life stages we have always been right there with each other, and it has been awesome. I love having the opportunity to walk through this parenting journey with them, they are rock stars! (Just check out that second photo 😉) We can always count on lots of laughs and plenty of jokes when we’re together, but we never miss out on those real life connections as well. It’s such a joy having those kinds of friends in the same stage of life!

Last year they moved to Poquoson, so it was only fitting that we met near the water in Poquoson for their family photos. Messick Point was so beautiful early in the morning, we saw the marsh and the beautiful grasses that Poquoson seems to be known for, and we even got a little time on the beach which the kids definitely enjoyed!

Ryan and Kristina, thank you for walking through this life with us.

We cherish you both more than we can put into words and I love knowing that our kids will grow up together! You guys are rock star parents, and your kids are pretty awesome, too. Enjoy just a few of my (MANY) favorites!
