You may remember our post a few weeks back, Wish of a Lifetime. Well, we had the opportunity to photograph another wish for a very lovely lady.
Wish of a Lifetime contacted us about Grace, a woman with a dream to see the Billy Graham Library. We were asked to document her experience. What a beautiful morning it was. The weather was gorgeous and Grace & her son were excited. All of the staff was so welcoming to Grace and really made it an experience she will never forget. At the end of the tour there was a prayer time with her and a staff member who sang Amazing Grace so beautifully.
If you’ve never been to the Billy Graham Library, I highly recommend it. It’s so amazing and beautiful.
Thank you, again, Wish of a Lifetime, for giving us this experience of helping to make someone else’s dream come true.
Here is a glimpse into Grace’s journey through the Billy Graham Library. Enjoy!
Just me being the test subject for lighting.

One of my favorite things about Spring is the beautiful blossoming trees. There is such a short window to view these gorgeous blooms. In past years I have missed my chance at photographing portraits in the peach orchards in Fort Mill. However, not this year! I was super excited to go out and capture portraits of my friend Nicole. Between her and the peach blossoms, the beauty was off the charts!
Nicole also has a fashion blog, Proceed with Style. Definitely go check it out!

Recently we were contacted by an organization, Wish of a Lifetime, about doing a portrait session. After speaking with my contact, and looking at their website about what they do, I loved everything about Wish of a Lifetime! Their mission is to grant wishes and make dreams come true for elderly people. This completely hit home for me as I grew up with a grandfather in a nursing home. I wish we had known about this organization for both my grandparents.
Wish of a Lifetime is located in Colorado, but they grant wishes all over the country. It just so happened that a wonderful woman had a dream of a date night out with her sweet husband. They currently live in an assisted living/nursing home facility and do not share a room because of health issues. So, a night out to dinner, a portrait session with us, and a hotel room at the Renaissance Hotel Charlotte, was exactly what Wish of a Lifetime granted for this beautiful wife and her husband.
It was such an honor to photograph this couple and to capture their enduring love. Every hand hold, sweet kiss, and embrace showed us how much they adored each other. After we said our goodbyes, I couldn’t help but think of my own husband and how I look forward to growing old with him.
Here are a few of my favorite images from the session. I am so grateful that we were able to capture this wonderful evening for the two of them.
Thank you, Wish of a Lifetime, for allowing us to be a part of making their dream come true!
