Memory making & experiences above all else

I recently was going through some photos from my California trip last year (more on the why for that later!) and boy did I get a good laugh at seeing some photos of myself. Of course when you’re on vacation or part of something cool, you want cool pictures to show for it! Well, me, […]

This weekend was a wonderful one and we have the Meza family to thank for welcoming us into their lives! Let me back up a tad into how I became involved in this Welcome Home Ceremony. As you know, social media is amazing for connecting with people, especially in the photography industry. Whitney and I […]

I have this super cool friend named Kate. She taught me how to park in Madison (the struggle was real, friends), took me ice skating, was the perfect gal to go Christmas shopping with, check out the “zoo” with, ohh an ahh at Anthropologie with and chat about life and love and moving and careers […]

New Years Eve, a day to reflect on all that goodness, all those struggles, all those things you want to change and all those things that motivated you this year. When people ask about my business, I always explain this year as THE year, the one where things got serious. The one where my schedule […]

I seriously love the holidays. Like, LOVE the holidays. Family time, friends come to town, the smells of balsam fill up a room and things that twinkle take over. It’s extra exciting to have an apartment to fill this year, Hobby Lobby has become my second home and I am finally taking time to get […]

Happy Thanksgiving, dear friends! This is the day when we are all extra thankful. The day that we post about family members, our delicious meals, our health and homes. Although we are thankful for these things every day, today is the day where we reflect on how lucky we really are. Even if we have […]

Can I get a drum roll please… We MOVED! Yes, it sure has taken a lot to get me to the point where I can say that I have officially moved. Me, a homebody who loves to travel and loves living with my mom (and roomie!) in our tiny town. You see, Sam was offered […]

I walked around trying to convince everyone that this past weekend I was 22 and tried to ignore the fact that 25 was actually happening. I keep telling people “I’m not ready!” and “25 just sounds so much older than 24!” Truth is, growing up is frightening because it is happening far too quickly. I’m […]

There just are not enough things to say about the Hartjes’s. They let me be a sort of aunt and have sort of sisters, they feed me dinners and take me up north and treat me too well. Being part of Sam’s family these past 3 years has brought me close to his family and […]
