Featured Speaker: Melissa Carter, Owner of Mindful Light Photography
Topic: The Legacy You’re Living: Creating a Life That’s Worth Remembering

Legacy isn’t just what we leave behind—it’s what we’re living right now. At this month’s Coffee Connection, we’re honored to welcome Melissa Carter, a legacy portrait photographer and storyteller, who will guide us in reflecting on the life we’re creating day by day.

In this gentle and heartfelt conversation, Melissa invites us to pause and consider the memories we’re making, the values we’re passing on, and the story we’re actively writing with our lives. Whether you’re deep in the trenches of motherhood, building a business, or rediscovering who you are in a new season, this talk will inspire you to live intentionally—and embrace the legacy you’re already creating.
