About Us

Taylor and Joe met in Greenback, Tennessee--a small, rural community in the Knoxville, Tennessee metro area. No one really knows how anyone ends up in Greenback, but feel free to call it serendipitous that these two did. Their paths crossed, wound around each other, and eventually diverged.

Their paths continued in opposite directions for nearly a decade. Taylor went to school, and Joe went to the Navy. In fact, at one point in time, they were as physically far away from one another as two people could be. But as the saying goes, love finds a way.

Because nearly 10 years later, they found their way back to each other in the oddest of places: A one-bedroom apartment in Virginia Beach. Shortly after, in 2017, the couple had their first child, Kennedy. Two years later, their second child, Rory, came into the picture. They then moved from Virginia to Maryland, where they currently reside.

That's their story, and they are excited to share their next chapter with you.
