I have had many family members, friends and viewers ask how did I transform a plain table to the farmhouse look. If you missed the blog post where I showed the before and after photos, you must check out THIS blog post before reading the information below. 🙂 It’s one of my all time favorite projects […]

Today, I’m reflecting the 2017 year thus far. I know we are only in the month of March, but researchers say that the majority of people lose focus on their dreams and goals for the year by the end of March. I’m keeping myself accountable by revisiting these resolutions and reflections I wrote back in […]

Happy Monday! I hope coffee/tea is keeping you awake this morning … Or maybe this cold weather is! I’m ready for the warm weather to come back and stay. 🙂 Anyone else getting a little antsy hibernating inside because of the cold temps? I’m craving to get out and explore/adventure! Skiing isn’t even an option […]

I cannot believe, this time a year ago, I had just bought my first home! I have posted many projects over the past year, but this post is fun seeing everything together! Believe me, the projects haven’t stopped. 😉 I’m currently in the midst of creating custom kitchen drawer dividers for my utensils, and I […]

I’m in disbelief we are just days away from March of 2017! I have a feeling this year is going to fly by like the last one. Yikes! It seems like winter pressed fast forward as well. I was really hoping to squeeze in a ski trip, but I guess it’s too late around this […]

When I was envisioning a space to gather family and friends in my home, a big and pretty wooden dining room table was exactly what I hoped for. What came to my surprise was the price of purchasing a brand new eight-person table with eight chairs! Yikes! We are talking at least $1,000 … And […]

It’s a HUGE honor to photograph a wedding, and I’m forever thankful for those who trust me from year to year. Each of my couples has a special place in my heart, and I’m glad I have these memories to reflect my experience with them forever. <3 I have been so fortunate to have sweet, […]

I had the privilege of meeting a gracious, BEAUTIFUL, grateful and joyful couple last week. No question why Jason and Maryn were GLOWING in these photos as little baby Charlotte is indeed the one they have been dreaming and praying for. They are just weeks away from finally holding her in their arms, and I […]

We are wrapping up this series with a couple more “Best of 2016” posts, but today is “Reception Details” day!! Despite the fact that all of my 32 weddings last year had different themes, it’s fun seeing these photos together. 🙂 So many unique and beautiful ideas thanks to hard work from the couples and vendors […]
