When Brandon and I planned this backpacking trip for our one year anniversary, we really didn’t realize how much work it would end up being. I know, I know, backpacking is usually more work than other types of vacations, but this was work in a different kind of way. You see, we brought our dog, […]

With the first day of fall today and our one year anniversary fast approaching, I thought it was about time that I share some photos from our wedding last year! It was such a whirlwind week for us (everyone says that because it’s so true), but I’m so glad that we have such great photos […]

This past January, my sister and I gifted our mom a stay at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in for her 60th birthday. It was the only time the 3 of us girls have ever gone away together, and it was the perfect trip for us to connect as adults! Life gets so busy after a certain age, […]

There’s nothing more attractive to me than the man I love in a well-fitted suit! So for our wedding day you can bet we put just as much effort into finding the right suit for Brandon as we did for my dress! Okay, maybe almost as much effort 😉 Because let’s be honest, it’s just […]

At the risk of sounding cliché, planning a wedding can feel overwhelming at times! There’s all this societal pressure to do things a certain way, and sometimes what we think we’re “supposed” to do can get in the way of what we want to do! But I’m here to say, “don’t let it!” Do you! […]

This year was a second annual girls trip for our group! It all spurred from something our guys have done together for years: for the first week of March Madness every year they rent a house and spend a few days of college-basketball-watching-bliss together. It’s quite the bromance! 🙂 Well, last year we decided to […]

When Brandon and I became engaged in the fall of last year, we knew that we wanted a unique engagement ring! One thing that I told him when I hinted at our future, was that I wanted my engagement/wedding ring to tell a story. I wanted it to tell our story! So when he proposed […]

There’s just something about a road trip that makes me think of simpler times. Windows down, radio up, and fresh air running through my hair! No plans and nothing ahead but open road and adventure! Ahhh… 🙂 2017 was a busy year in our house! Between working 4 jobs (3 for me, 1 for Brandon) […]

When I look back at my photography business in a few years, I think I’m going to find that this workshop was a turning point for me. I’m not a professionally trained photographer by any means. I started by watching You Tube videos, reading articles, attending free webinars, and practicing, practicing, practicing! This is the […]

Let’s face it. You’ve heard a lot about gluten lately. That may be partly due to trend, but it can also be attributed to the increase in prevalence and diagnosis of celiac disease, an autoimmune disease triggered by the ingestion of gluten. For those of us with celiac disease, gluten (a protein found in wheat, […]
