We are roughly half way across the country, Austin Texas to be exact and make our last leg to sunny San Diego tomorrow! I'm beyond excited to plant our feet in some warm sand and shed some winter layers. Prayers please that our base house will be ready for us before Christmas; its our…

Who needs a new dress?

What better way to get back to blogging than to kick it off with a gorgeous dress giveaway!! Shabby Apple contacted me offering this stunning dress, perfectly in time for Christmas parties! I've admired their vintage selection of dresses for quite a long time now, be sure to peruse their site f…

We still do!

Its been forever, but all is well and I'm still here!! My photography business is full time at this point, so I haven't been able to update my personal blog here! So sorry and so sad. But we are about to get even crazier with the planning of our upcoming 10 year vow renewal and our big move…

Hi everyone! Happy 2013! Holy moly where did 2012 go? We kickstarted 2013 with the stomach flu and strep. So my first official week of the new year starts now, I hit the reset button because last week was just plain awful and we can pretend that never happened. Now that we've moved on, I …

I highly recommend going to a National Memorial and having other people take your pictures!

Wow, I've missed you guys! Its been crazy insane for me, but still loving every minute of my little photo biz! Wanted to share some of our pictures from our Christmas card including a few that didn't make the cut! I never hire a photographer to capture my two crazies....case in point pictu…

Coming up for air and lots of pictures!

I'm here, I'm here just hanging on by a thread! I've got two weddings down and one to go for the little biz, a first grader, a baby on the run and a husband who made a new rank! Phew, busy busy. Wish I could stop time right now and savor. So this is me attempting to catch up on my negl…

Guess what? We're moving!

It's been a whirlwind week with Gideon's 6th birthday and finding out were moving in a year. Of course we don't know where yet, it's the military remember?!! Either way, I'm a bit sad and excited in the same vein, I kinda love change and I also feel like I need to hit the reset…

Overwhelmed.

Right now both boys at home for the summer plus a suddenly thriving photo biz has been kicking my butt in a good and exhausting way! I'm incredibly thankful for the way the Lord has poured favor on my little photography business and I'm scrambling to find the balance in it all of course! J…

Outside the Christmas card box

Looking for something a little different for your family this year? For us, Fall is already looking pretty crazy so our last summer hurrah at the beach will capture our family picture for the Christmas card too! The idea of finding clothes during the clearance sales right now and not trying to squ…

This is changing the way I eat

I'm a bit of a self-professed foodie, which means to me, I LOVE food. I will try anything for the most part and get excited just thinking about food. My 1 year old feels the same way, but my 5 year old not so much. I blame my food obsession on my Italian blood, it's just in me! My mom says…
