I remember riding beside her on a rickety old bus loaded with missions trip team members. We sped through the winding roads of Costa Rica as we reached the last leg of a day-long journey. She was open, caring, and sweet to the core. And despite the fact that we were 3,879 miles from Lancaster County, there was something about her that felt like… home.

Friends, let me tell you… my suspicions were dead on. This girl? She’s a gem.


She’s the type of girl that you don’t just say, “Thanks for coming,” to, but instead say, “When can you come back?!”

Love this one!!

She exudes the joy of the Lord in everything she does…

And I’m a little bit jealous of her adorable laugh… ;)

Another favorite. I’m warning you now that there’s a lot!

Seriously Steff… you’re gorge.







Let’s talk about her hair… AMAZING.

Oh Steff :)


A change of scenery and an outfit swap yielded some pictures that I LOVE and think are so Steff…

A true city girl at heart!


And you know I love this coral wall…




Have I mentioned her impeccable sense of style? Yeah. I was obsessed with these shoes…

Love that 100 watt smile! P.S. Steff’s going to college to be a pediatric dentist and I’m pretty sure that’s the perfect job for her.

I’m not sure what I would have done without Steff being my amazing translator last year in Costa Rica. Spanish and I don’t work so well, but I do remember a certain word that describes these shots… CALIENTE! ;)

Seriously though, I am spoiled rotten with such beautiful clients and friends…



Surprise, surprise… yet another fave!

THANK YOU, Steff, for your friendship, love, and killer modeling skills! I think I know a good backup plan incase being a dentist doesn’t work out. ;) Praying for you as you head off to college… May the Lord bless you richly as you continue to follow after Him! XOXO!!
