Last weekend was way too much fun! Not going to lie, I’m still recovering a bit. And by recovering I mean, still dreaming about the delicious food we had and trying NOT to worry so much about how my pants now fit just a bit tighter after this weekend.     We had my parents […]

A friend recently sent me an email asking for her upcoming trip to Paris and I couldn’t have been more excited! Allan and i spent the last few days of our honeymoon there so getting to relive the tastes and smells and sights of our time there….um, yes, please!!! So today I’m sharing a few […]

If you’re like me, this weekend is going to include a bit of last-minute Christmas shopping because…holy cow -t’s Christmas next weekend!!! This month has FLOWN by, and I can’t even tell you how excited I am to see + smooch all my nieces and nephews again!!! I’m having major auntie withdrawals over here and […]

Happy December friends!!! Winter is officially settling in over here so if you don’t here from me in the next few weeks, SEND HELP!!! I’ve probably frozen over!!! Speaking of coldness, I’ve learned a few things about this new climate since morning here from California. First, you need snow tires. Say whaaaaaat?? Yes, in the […]

“Guess what?’ I asked, as we walked hand-in-hand to dinner the other night, “We live here.” I find myself posing this question to Allan quite regularly now. Mostly to remind myself of our new reality and home…    We moved to Spokane a little over a month ago, and its still sinking in. From getting […]

Hello. It’s me.   Can you hear me?  I’m in California dreaming…    Okay, so I’m actually in Washington, but who doesn’t love a little Adele intro?? I’ve taken some time off for my annual hibernating which is why its been a little quiet on the homefront over here, but I’m back at it and […]

The countdown is officially on!!! T-minus 11 days until Christmas is HERE!! Whoo hoo!!! There are so many things that make this time of year my favorite and gift-giving happens to be one of my MOST favorite things to do! This might be in part due to the fact ‘Gifts’ is one of my love […]

Happy November friends!!! I feel like I’m coming back to life over here (very appropriate post-Halloween dontcha think…wink wink) and out from under the fog of sickness that held me captive this past weekend! Fresh air – woo hoo! Secretly, I think my body just knew how busy November is going to be and decided […]

For me, one of my most favorite things about photography is getting to meet new people, and getting to know their story. Because I believe your story is what makes you YOU. Its the behind-the-scenes, if you will, to why one wears an old cowboy hat to their senior portraits or why one beams with […]

We sat together on the back deck of our college house. It would be our last night before turning in the rental keys. So we sat, barefoot, side-by-side on the deck chairs, overlooking the city entwined with so many memories from the last four years spent together. It was almost as if we knew, keenly […]
