Over the past year and a half, I’ve had priorities and passions shift. I guess becoming a mom will do that to you. After a lot of prayer and reflection, I’ve decided to close the chapter on wedding photography. Instead, I’ll be focused on photographing growing families (womb to world, as they say). Cliche but […]

Nerves thrumming, hair smoothing, checking my makeup one last time. It was time for our family photo session for Logan’s one-year birthday. I was nervous about pretty much everything. How would my dress photograph? Did my hair look OK or was the humidity making it wave in a funky way? Would Travis have his “Chandler […]

If you’ve planned a wedding before (or been close to someone who’s planned a wedding), you’ve probably heard someone say, ‘everyone has their wedding story.’ By “wedding story,” people mean the thing — or two, if your luck is really bad — that went awry on the wedding day. I love when people ask this […]

Recently I’ve been watching the Netflix series “Chef’s Table” and I can’t get enough. I like food, sure. But I love the stories told of each chef and their struggle to be successful, their passion to create the most beautiful and delicious food, constantly pushing themselves to be better.

Growing up in New England, spring was always my favorite season. After enduring months and MONTHS of bitter cold, countless snow storms, ice, and a general hue of gray cast over the earth, spring was the season of the new.

If y’all know anything about me, you know I love to READ! Last year I had a crazy goal to read 50 books and even though I was soo sick all fall from pregnancy, I managed to read 51 books. Crossing that off the list sure did feel good! I always get a lot of […]

It’s hard to believe I’ve been making seasonal playlists for almost four years. Well, I actually did it a lot in college before the advent of Spotify but then life gets busy and it’s not as easy to listen to free music and playlists don’t happen. I love me some Pandora but Spotify is one […]

I remember sitting down at the end of 2016 and thinking 2017 was going to be an awesome year. 2016 was rough. I worked full-time for three quarters of the year while trying to run my business, have a healthy marriage, see my friends and family, and finish paying off my student loan debt. But […]

I realize it’s now the beginning of November and “fall” has been in full swing for a month and a half. But, as we near the end of the year, I wanted to share the books rounding out my crazy 2017 reading 50 books goal. First, a recap of my summer list, what I read […]
