Nathan. You are THE most joyful human being I know. The word JOY. It’s how you have been described by others since you were little. You take the mundane and make it fun. You take nothing and make it the most enthusiastically awesome experience. It’s your gift, really….spreading joy! Being your mom is awesome. And […]

No words needed from me. Best give I could EVER have received ever ever ever! Audrey and Nathan – just when I think being your mama couldn’t get any more fun – it does! Watching you grow into these smart, kind, witty, loving, hilarious, goofy, awesome people is the best gift I could ever hope […]

It’s the last day before my FAVORITE month of the year arrives. We are currently chilling out in our cozies, sitting by the fire, playing games, and drinking tea out at the cabin. I choose this over Black Friday ANY day of the week. Before we left, our family rallied (and also cheated a little) […]

I attended her Confidence workshop nearly three years ago which truly propelled me toward launching my own photography […]

It’s done.  My cousin (aka sister friend/bestie cousin) is MARRIED. The day was perfect.  I was a bridesmaid (awesome) and my kids were the flower girl and ring bearer. AND my hubby spun the tunes like nobody’s business.  I’ll keep it simple and sweet.  THE WHOLE DAY ROCKED! AND…the kids were amazing! I will note […]

My crew. Never boring.  Always finding stuff to do.  Cabin. Nature. Quiet moments. Play. Love them.
