I’m all about keeping things real and if you’ve been with me for a while now, you know I mean that! I think I held off on sharing these images because this trip is a little bittersweet for me as a business owner and as a human being in general and I’ll explain why below. I’ll try not to jump all over the place, but no promises!
Read MoreDISCLAIMER: be prepared for a really long and probably sappy post, because as I write this post, I'm feeling all the feels. This post is going to be a bit more than sharing our most recent family portraits with the INCREDIBLE Lora Grady Photography…
Read MoreAs a photographer and business owner in general, I want any opportunity for updated pictures with my family. This urge becomes even more so evident when the sun is shining in our neck of the woods!
Read MoreAs I sit down to write this post, there is some fear sitting in the back of my mind. It's not easy because I'm sharing something today that is really difficult, but also easy all at the same time about my business.
Read MoreRiley's third birthday party was just so fun to design and execute in my downtown studio! Since getting a bathroom in my space, it has been SO much easier to host gatherings in my space. When I host at my home I am constantly in the kitchen...
Read MoreAs I sit down to write this post, I have so many mixed emotions! First of all, it feels like yesterday that I was here with my 42 Day Check In but that was already 3 weeks ago! The days are flying by and each day I'm still feeling better and stronger.
Read MoreSince photographing both my sister and my brother's wedding this past summer, I have been emailed so many times asking me how I approach photographing family weddings. Did I charge? Did I enjoy the day? The list goes on. I'm excited about this post today...
Read MoreThis post has been something I've been thinking about for awhile now to share with my people. In summary, for the past 42 days I've been on a #myfighttofeelbetter. I didn't think I'd have much to say but because of the results from this new lifestyle...
Read MoreAnother year is upon us so as we dive into the grind of 2018, I want to reflect on 2017 and all that it was for this little business and life of mine! In all honesty, 2017 was a bit too busy but it was oh so good. 2017 came with some serious growth and opportunity...
Read MoreI don't even really know where to start with this post... I could probably type for DAYS but I'm going to try and keep it as simple as possible (no promises, haha!) Basically if you've followed me for awhile, you know that this week I was supposed to be here in California...
Read MoreThis past weekend Shaun and I were in Wenatchee for my sister's reception! They already got married in July (check that wedding out right here!), but wanted to have a party in the fall so they did just that and it was SO much fun! Riley was a total party animal...
Read Moredon't know WHAT it is about FALL time, but it is just my favorite. It's probably the pumpkin spice lattes, changing colors on the trees and crisp air that makes me fall in love with the season over and over again with each passing year. Riley and I went on a little adventure...
Read MoreWhen I decided to start my own business and take that business full time I thought that maintaining a nice work & life balance would be a breeze. I fantasized about waking up at the crack of dawn before the baby, sipping on espresso and answering emails...
Read MoreI'm mad that you moved me to a place far away from everything I know. I'm mad that I don't see you enough anymore. I'm mad that I don't get the same attention that I'm so used to getting from you. I'm mad that you didn't prepare me enough for all...
Read MoreSomething pretty profound happened in my private Facebook group this week. One of our members posted an article about working the 9-5, and the title of that article was called "The 9-5 does NOT = failure." You can check out the article here! It's a good...
Read MoreMy blog has become a big part of my life and business. It's rare that I publish a personal post about my own family, but I've decided it's time to start doing more of that in here. Riley is the reason I picked up a camera in the first place. I take WAY too many...
Read MoreThere has been this back and forth with myself on whether or not I will use my blog as a place to share personal pictures. I share personal "stuff" over on my business blog, but I haven't ever posted my own personal work with my photography.
