We are a little over a week away from our wedding, and I figured now would be a great time to post this. Around the time of my parent’s wedding anniversary in June, I decided I wanted to share some wedding advice from my parents and grandparents. I figured this fit into “The Story of […]

This December will mark three years that Justin and I have lived together. It honestly feels like I just came over one day to hang out, and didn’t leave. For those of you who don’t know, Justin and I did not buy this house together. He bought the house about a year and a half […]

We get married in less than three weeks (CRAZY, like SO CRAZY!! 🙂 ) and then the Monday after that we are off to the airport to embark on our Italian Honeymoon. I have posted about our honeymoon before, and gave a bit of a rundown for where we will be going. Our goal is […]

With the wedding in less than a month, things are crazy – both financially and time-wise. We are trying to eat at home more, and save money instead of eating out as often.  In light of that, I would love to share my five favorite easy dinner recipes with you! This post is going to […]

On a wonderful Saturday in August, Julie, Paula and Gwen, some of my aunts – mostly, hosted a family bridal shower for me at Julie’s house. It was a gorgeous day, and Julie’s back patio has a beautiful view of their lake. My cousin, Tori, took my camera for a bit to get some photos for […]

When we come back from our honeymoon, I would really love to do two days of fall mini sessions. Since we are gone for so much of October, I feel like this is the best way to get some sessions in when the leaves change! This will be a perfect opportunity to get some updated […]

I seriously cannot get enough of this little girl. She is my best friend’s baby, and I have loved photographing her life. Her smile in infectious, and so easily given. She laughs if you laugh. She’s headstrong. She’s perfect. It’s bittersweet, because I know Kali and Jon are amazing parents, and I can’t wait to […]
