Beautiful floral piece from the talented Sarah of Sarah’s Wedding Garden. Always love hanging out with the fab vendors of the Windmill Winery at their monthly open houses. Sarah was so sweet to send some of us home with a few of her samples. This photo provided by hubs. Small Things bringing me joy this week: Hand-written […]

Almost a month since we left on our vacation, and I’m still reminiscing about the calming feel of the northwest. There’s something about that tall grass that blows with the wind and the immense green that pulls at my heart. My parents own a cabin in beautiful far north Idaho (right before you hit Canada), […]

Let me just start this post by saying Anna and Nate are a pretty amazing couple, and I was incredibly blessed to share in their day. You know it’s a connection made only by God’s providence when you receive an e-mail from an inquiring bride through an admired industry partner and end up being from […]

  Taking delight in and praise for The Simple Things in life. Small things bringing me joy this week: Josh Garrels’ Pandora station. The perfect calming mix as background music for editing, as well as plugs in a few old hymns here and there to enliven the heart. Andy and I are thinking of moving […]

My favorite combination of nail polish as of late. Had to quickly do the nails before last Saturday’s wedding and I loved the result with this duo! Small things bringing me joy this week: Last week I shared how one of my best friends got engaged. I was overjoyed when I met her at one of […]

Delicately detailed pastry from a little corner of France in downtown Spokane, WA called Madeline’s. Just one of the many reasons I cringed when I stepped on the scale coming home from vacation. 😉 Andy pointed out when I showed him the image for this week’s Simple Things that I continually post images of treats […]

I love these snapshots. I’m biased because the adorable kiddos belong to my sister, and what I love more than anything is getting to photograph the people close to my heart. Shooting in the plains and mountains of northern Idaho was just a dream with a landscape and sunlight so different than home. Enjoy these sweet […]

  Small things bringing me joy this week: An adventurous hike through an Arizona canyon with some wonderful friends. Was the first time I used a point and shoot to capture memories from the day in about 5 years. That felt weird. A new rustic cream and sugar set (on clearance at Starbucks) to complement […]

“For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be.” -John Connolly Love this simply sweet imagery highlighting my own sister’s handiwork and vision for Sweet Lamb Dolls. Summertime in Arizona brings scorching temperatures and a lull in the wedding season, so I quite […]

Volume 2 of a brand new series happening every Tuesday on the blog: Latte from Echo Coffee. One of my favorites for the abundance of natural light and the complimentary shortbread cookie. Passed 4 Starbucks on my way to it–now that’s determination! Had the pleasure of meeting the owner the other day–he’s a swell guy! Small […]
