Samantha + Ryan {Savannah, Ga Couples Photography}

This session was by far one of the best to date!
Samantha and Ryan are very obviously in love
which made my job super easy and very fun!!
I seriously couldn't just post my usual 5 pictures.
Honestly, I wanted to share ALL of them with you
because they are all worth sharing.
Although I didn't post them all,
be prepared for picture overload
:-)   :-)



Just a little history...
back in August we experienced a very scary situation with
my youngest, Addie Grace.
She was bleeding internally and for what seemed like an eternity,
we didn't know what the cause was.
As I watched my 19 month old go from energetic and ornery
to lifeless and pale,
panic set in.
And that's when I met Sam.
{cue our sweet angel nurse that I'll forever be grateful for}
Sam was our nurse for two days
and went over and beyond her duties
to make sure Addie Grace
would walk (or run in her case!) out of the hospital healthy and happy.
And Addie Grace did just that.
After 6 nights in the hospital,
Addie Grace is perfect and healthy with no lingering issues!!
Through that very frightening encounter,
I'm fortunate enough to have made a life long friend in Sam!

And speaking of Sam,
here she is!
Isn't she stunning?!?!


And it is through Sam that I got to meet
her wonderful boyfriend, Ryan, 
a hero in his own right!
He is currently serving over in Afghanistan,
selflessly fighting a war on our behalf.



Right off the bat I knew we were in for a fun time.
Have you ever seen a grown man get so excited
to see the cargo ship?!
Too cute :-)







I feel this picture summarizes
Sam & Ryan's short time together.
The world was spinning past
but for them, time was standing still.

Ohh Sweet Melinda:) Just when I thought my tear ducts had dried up from all the tears of yesterday, You manage to bring more, happy tears of course this time. Thank you so much. You have done nothing less than brighten my life since we met. The Lord always puts those special kind of people in your life just when you need them the most. Thank you for capturing our love on film. You did such an amazing job and I cant wait to see the rest. I love you!
