The Best First Looks of 2022

Those who know me already know I have such a soft spot for first looks! I will never pressure my couples to have one if they are truly set on not doing one. But I always love to explain them from a point of experience and share all the benefits so they can then decide […]

Behind The Scenes of 2022

What a year 2022 was and here are the behind the scenes to prove it! I can’t even begin to explain how blessed and grateful I am that I get to call this my JOB! I never dreamed that I could do something I love so much and also have it be a way to […]

Fall Cooking!

Oh man do I have a soft spot for cooking and baking! Especially when it’s fall cooking and baking! Ever since I was little and helped my granny in the kitchen I’ve developed a passion for it. I remember sitting on the kitchen floor as a little thing licking the bowl. Then I moved up […]

Our 2022 Family Photos

One of my favorite times of the year is when we get to have our own family photos done! Of course this doesn’t mean it’s super easy to plan or execute. Yes, even we photographers sometimes struggle getting our own families ready for photos. Planning outfits and making sure everyone behaves, especially teenagers who would […]

Our Trip to the Running Y Ranch

We got to spend some time away this year at the Running Y Ranch in Kalamath Falls. What a gorgeous and quiet place this was! It was so peaceful and relaxing. Of course there was golf for Anthony and Addie and I had a blast at the spa. We met up there with Anthony’s sister, […]

We Love Our Family Dates!

Whether it’s going to the movies, a favorite restaurant, the arcade, or getting our nails done, we LOVE family dates! It doesn’t matter what kind of date or who in our family, we love them all. I usually try to take the kids out one on one whenever I can to spend some quality time […]

Our New Puppy: Welcome Home Molly!

This is something I’ve been praying for for years and it’s finally happened! I even had her name chosen long before we ever picked her out. Everyone, meet our sweet little puppy, Molly. She a Cavapoo, which means she’s part Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and part poodle. She doesn’t shed, which I LOVE. We get […]
