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), […]

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 […]

  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 […]

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 […]

This is the start of a brand new series: The Simple Things. I loveeeee to write. Always have–whether it’s been school papers or personal journaling, God’s given me a love for expression through written word. Maybe because I’m shy and can articulate so much better this way? I don’t know, but my passion is directing […]

SLR Lounge is a community of professional photographers writing articles on shooting tips and tricks, reviews on professional gear, and anything and everything to do with the industry. So, to say I was pretty excited to be personally asked to submit content for an article they were preparing is a real understatement (!!!). The content […]

“I’ve been clean for two days.” I told Andy with wide-eyes and a-too-serious-to-be real tone of  voice. I’ve been sick with the worst sore throat since I was a preteen sick with strep and it seemingly knocked out any sort of regular caffeine craving. He knows me well enough to know the big deal that […]
