I know this family all because of Starbucks. Christa started out as my intimidating shift supervisor :) then quickly became a dear friend. And even though I don’t work at ol Starbucks anymore, I still see Christa often, and I still love being a part of her family’s life. I started working there right when Christa found out she was pregnant with Elijah, and I think I gained 10 pounds throughout her pregnancy… she always had the best food up at work :)

One thing about Christa… she always supported me as I pursued photography. She knew I loved working at Starbucks, but she always knew my goal was to do what I love, photography, full-time, and she always stood by my side as I made that journey. So thanks for that, Christa. It’s because of people like you that I am doing what I love.

But before I start getting all emotional, I better just get onto the cuteness overload of these photos.
