Oh boy, I don’t know where to begin with this one. I’ve known Cole since she was just a teeny little thing. She’s actually still teeny, but now grown. Does that make sense? I didn’t think so.

Nicole is one of those young women that you just know has an amazing future ahead. She’s adorable, bright, uber-talented and super funny. She’s also incredibly perceptive … I think my favorite comment she may have ever made to me was about how I worry like an 84-year-old (or 90, I can’t remember. Dang dementia) woman. How does she do it?

She is also completely unashamed of her faith. She’s taught me a thing or two and I’m grateful for it. I’ll never forget the amazing experience we had in Guatemala together. I hope she continues to live out her love for the Lord like she did there. If she does … well, look out. It’s gonna be wild.

I was honored to have a part in capturing her as she approaches her final year of high school. I love you, girl, and look forward to watching you take on the world!
