“It’s just so surreal,” she said while holding her son for the first time. “I can’t believe he’s here.” He smiled down at his wife and son. He was gently rubbing her arm, kissing his wife’s head, and talking in a soft voice to his baby boy telling him how happy he was. Dark hair […]

This month was cold, and rainy and damp, but I am grateful for everyday of February 2018. We have established a routine for our payday budget meetings. There were tons of puppy cuddles. Quite a bit of lounging. We went to the annual Rotary Auction, had a quiet night in on Valentine’s Day, and I […]

At our house, we don’t have cable or any satellite providers. We pretty much stream everything. Between Netflix, Amazon Prime and PlayStation Vue we are set (in my opinion). Netflix and Vue are the only monthly subscriptions and they are more cost effective for us. I feel like people are often asking each other for […]

I found a contest in some of my photography groups on Facebook last year called Shoot & Share, and it was too late for me to enter. I still voted when I could, but this year, I set a reminder on my phone and I was so excited to enter. Each photographer can enter 50 […]

It’s been established that I am a coffee addict. When I moved in, I brought a coffee pot and had Justin join me in this coffee addiction. I love coffee, and I will drink it however it’s offered. My favorite would have to be with creamer, which is also how Justin takes his. This week, […]

Once a month, I am going to answer your style questions for the different types of sessions. I often get asked what to wear for a maternity session, and I thought what better way to answer that than to blog about it! Stephanie and Chris just had their session last weekend, and they absolutely knocked […]

As a way to get to know a bit more about Justin and I, Mondays will now feature things we love! This could be anything from what we stream on Netflix, to our favorite restaurants to places to photograph people. So in the interest of kicking this off right, here are three small things we […]

Justin and I are not strangers to home renovation. In fact, we love it. We are always talking about what we’d like to do if/when we can build a house. In our current home, we have done a lot of renovating over the last three years. We started in the kitchen, with new cabinets. Then the […]

Here it is exactly one month after Christmas and I am finally sharing photos! Christmas 2017 was so busy, and I loved it. Our first celebration was hosting a few from Justin’s side for Christmas dinner and gifts with the kids. I was so excited to be able to have people over and use some […]
