The Malone Family – Forest Preserve Family Photos in St. Charles IL

There was a girl I knew years ago who was in the youth group at Calvary Church in Naperville.  I was one of the youth leaders there at the time and she was in my group.  We became friends and had lots of fun talking, singing together, riding around in my jeep, and just hanging out.  She actually sang at my wedding!!

Courtney was one in a million, that’s for sure, and it was an honor for me to have her in my group.

Now, she is a mom herself with a loving husband and three beautiful kids.  Her friendship was a blessing to my life during my years as a youth leader and it really makes my heart happy to see her now and see how her life is a testament to God’s love and faithfulness. She lives in Tennessee now, so I don’t see her in person much nowadays, but I get to keep up with her on Instagram, which is great.  She’s a photographer herself, actually, and has recently become a consultant for Pampered Chef.  She was in Illinois for a conference this past week, and I was so happy to get to meet her little ones and her husband for the first time…and take some family photos in beautiful St. Charles IL!  What a beautiful family…
