It takes months, years and more to create intimate connections with individuals who you see in one world to then bridge them over to your new world. My clients often are people who I know on a personal level from another time and place. It could be as simple as a "Hello" in the aisle of Publix or the halls of my middle school back in Texas.

I often joke that I have never met a stranger because I value people and the treasures they give this world. I want to talk to strangers, I want to know their thoughts. It's how I grow as a person and it helps me to become a better story teller.

Meet Mollie and her gorgeous family. I met her on Facebook in probably one of those Buy Sell Groups, I can't be sure. It doesn't even matter now but it's been a while. She's a talented artist and has worked alongside me doing hair for weddings with me. She's even done my hair a few times. I could say this with absolute truth that this girl has the most beautiful hair in the world! I have watched her family grow over the years like a distant relative cheering for the kiddos from my computer.

Three months ago the Chambers added a new babe to the mix. Meet little Bentley. It's he the most adorable little dude ever? I love those sweet little cheeks. He's absolutely loved and protected by his big brother and sister. You can see in their eyes the pride that they carry.

And with the new baby comes change. The family will soon be leaving the Gulf Coast for England. So why they were here and in this time we took one last chance to document the change. I hope to continue to watch their story and family grow as I have for many years to come. - Jessica
