Sick of Everyone Suggesting a First Look?

Most of the time when I ask whether a bride is doing a first look, I get a groan.  Brides are sick of hearing that question!  I only ask it for planning reasons (so I can make a timeline), but I do think they deserve a fair look.  So I’ve included some photos and stories from […]

Shameless Rendition of “Let It Go”

Our daughter is three and we have a Disney trip planned for this fall, so we actually LOVE it when she is obsessed with Frozen, Cinderella, and every other Disney princess.  Like most three year olds, she will sing her heart out with all the conviction in the world, and it. is. hilarious.

Looking to Gain Experience in the Wedding Industry?

I’ll never forget applying for my first job.  I had just turned 16 and couldn’t wait to apply at the local diner.  I just knew I’d be a killer waitress and it would be awesome.  I’ll never forget the look in the eyes of the hiring manager.  He knew my family and knew I’d be good, but […]

Sean + Erin // Snow Mini Sessions

The weather forecast last night kept changing on us, so we played it by ear with Sean + Erin.  It wasn’t snowing at all during their session, so we improvised with snowballs and glitter.  Then as they were leaving it started snowing so Erin & I ran down the street (literally) at midnight to get […]

Let it Snow! // Mini Session

Snow is so unpredictable, and maybe that’s why we all love snow pictures so much!  You can’t plan them in advance, and it’s much more difficult to control the outcome of each picture, so they’re pretty rare.  But yesterday?  Oh everything just lined up perfectly!  I posted on Facebook that we could do fun snow pictures […]

First Haircut… errr… Trim // Personal

From the moment we found out we were having a little girl, we knew we wanted to let her hair grow long.  She’s been blessed with gorgeous golden hair that curls at the end with just the perfect amount of bounce.  But lately, it’s been looking a bit ragged so we decided to take her […]
