Wow … I sit here this morning with my eggs just thinking about what happened this weekend. SO MUCH. I knew this summer was going to be a crazy one, but a part of me did not realize how much of a crazy life I would live. Blessed to have the business! Blessed to have […]

First of all, I am SO sorry this was not posted up yesterday! I was out of the house with meetings and errands from morning until dark and did not think it would be fair to post this up super late. So without further or due, here is Robbie and Cassie’s beautiful wedding!!!! As we […]

During my vacation time at the beach with Kyle and his lovely family, his brother and sister in law requested for a sunrise session one morning during our stay. Can I just say that I WISH the beach was closer to home?! I know that there are several of my clients who would love this […]
