My friend Amy and I go pretty far back.  From sleepovers at her house, to writing secret notes to each other completely backwards.  I was so happy to take family pictures for her and her cute as heck family.  Can I tell you too, that Amy is super talented?!  After picking out outfits for herself, husband, and son, she made the dress for her daughter the night before… and it is super cute!! I couldn’t believe it!  One more thing, these kids were awesome little models!!!

Two weeks before the tornado hit, the Wheeler family and I got together for a family session in their hometown of Joplin.  So so glad to report that they are all okay and their home survived as well.  Unfortunately, much of the devastation left from this storm surrounds them.  So many aspects of their lives have been impacted by this tragedy.

Please keep Joplin in your hearts and in your prayers.
