It's no surprise I love weddings! I love all the perfect little details family and friends put so much time and thought into to create a beautiful day that represents the couple. I love witnessing the groom go speechless as he sees his bride for the first time. Or the cherished moment of a father lovingly walking his daughter down the aisle, giving her away. I love capturing the unity of two becoming one, and the joy of grandparents seeing their legacy go on. From the first k

Love. It's something you feel. And even more something you see. It's something you choose. Something you choose to believe in. It's in secrets shared, and fears confessed. Holding hands, and where shoulders land. It's in 'I'm sorrys' and 'I forgive yous'. And the honesty of 'I'm still mad at you'. It's belly aching laughter leading to unstoppable tears of joy. How worries fade with just one look. Questions are answered without one spoken word. It's raised voices and slammed d

Joey would get breakfast at the cafe Sami managed on Sundays before church. Eventually, he asked her on a date, and I suppose the rest is history! On a basically normal Friday, Sami had to work the dinner rush. But before she left for work she wrote Joey a love note. "I got home from work and read the love note from her. I had just gotten permission from her parents the day before, so I wrote a reply love note for her to read when she got home. After she read the note I got d

Dear Mom, There's a special day coming up dedicated just for you, but the truth is every day is Mother's Day. Cause even though I'm grown I still need you. Like calling you in the middle of a grocery store just to ask where the heck the honey is! Or calling just to call cause I need to process life. To be a mom is no simple task, and quite frankly I don't know how you did/do it. Maybe I'm not too keen on having kids yet, cause I"m nowhere close to being the type of wonderful

Twenty years! That's how long Perry and Jill have been married. When Jill asked if we could schedule an in-home anniversary session, she wanted it to be a surprise for Perry! How sweet is that? I love meeting with couples at their home and capturing everyone in their element. Their two pups, Emma and Ellie, joined in on the fun too. Cause a family photo isn't complete without our pets. :) Happy anniversary Perry and Jill! Cheers to many, many more years together. They are ju

I had the great pleasure to sit down with local jewelry Alyssa of Alyssa & Anna Fine Jewelry.

Last week I had the great privilege to attend a local workshop for creatives at Feather and Bone Gallery in the Draw. I had been looking forward to this workshop all week long, and was so excited to spend time out my head learning from others and getting some new creative juices flowing. And it was everything I could've imagined it could be! As a small business owner who works from home, it's too easy to get stuck in the mindset that a successful business is all hustle. I qui

Earth Day has always been one of my favorite days! For as long as I can remember caring for our earth has mattered to me, and in high school we even got the day off from school to help care for our earth within our local community! Some of my favorite activities take place outside, and I love finding new ways to implement environment friendly ways into my lifestyle. So in honor of Earth Day tomorrow, I've got 7 suggestions you and your loved one can do together for tomorrow's

Something fun about my parents is that they actually eloped! My parents celebrated their thirty-second wedding anniversary this week, so I went up north to watch my little brother while they got away to celebrate their anniversary! It's so crazy to think how their decision to share 'I dos' on that spring day was just the beginning of their legacy in the making. And here are, a house, five kids, many weekend camping trips, good times and bad, their love story is still unfoldin

When you work from home it can be all too easy to go hours without having a physical conversation with another person, which often leaves you talking to yourself. A lot. If you think about it, the one person you probably talk to the most is yourself. Cause does that voice every really stop? And I've been learning lately that how I talk to myself, the thoughts I allow myself to believe, greatly affects how I approach just about everything! I've seen my voice be my biggest chee
