Meet my brother and sister in-law, Eric and Christy. We had been planning to do this shoot over family vacation in NC for months, and I was SO excited for it! I love the ocean–the scent, the feeling of sand between my toes, sea shells, the colors—goodness!! So many thanks to Eric and Christy for […]

Yesterday my family said goodbye to my father’s mom, and today I see the value in what I do. Yesterday I sat in grandpa’s living room listening to him reminisce about his lovely wife. He told stories about how she begged him to take her fishing (a great hobby of his), and ended up with […]

 1. Pick a great outfit 2. Include coffee (not always, but often) 3. Have waitress/stranger take picture 4. Match (optional) 5. Take lots of pictures in order to show our [future] kiddos how cool mom and dad used to be. Here’s to 2 years of faithful spousal-dating. And now I’m thinking maybe I need to […]

Never Say Never.  Never say you won’t find inspiration from a 16 year-old male pop star. That’s right…I’m talking about Justin Beiber’s movie, Never Say Never. Am I really talking about this on my blog?? Yes–and a little sheepishly, too. But bear with me! My introduction with Justin Beiber started when I served at TRAC camp […]

2 years ago we said “I do”. And ever since he’s never stopped holding my hand. I’m so grateful for God’s faithfulness to us these few years… This year, Andy wisked me away to the California coast for some fun beach time. Unfortunately, all the summer clothes I packed were most inconvenient in the cold […]

This Guy …suddenly informed me that for the following weeks he’d be working on his ‘stache. I admit I had some instant contradicting thoughts and perspecitives, but what I wondered the most was, “Do I even get a say???!” Nope.  After a few hours of worrying my husband was going to be replaced by a […]

I hope you aren’t sick of our faces after Hey…It’s Us part 1. But…this was so fun! Our dear friends Joe and Stacy Kokes took Andy and I for a photoshoot of our own. This meant SO much to me. As Andy and I have been married for two years (May 29th of THIS month–yes, yes, […]

Now This. Was. Fun. Andy and I went out for a super special shoot last Saturday. Who were the subjects? Us. That’s right! And what can I say about Andy? WOW! He nailed it. I need to keep my tabs on him or he’s going to be passing me up soon!!! Here are the highlighted […]

Our night started like this: I put on a beautiful silk dress, told Andy what to wear (he does a great job, but if I’ve got a dress I’m excited about, I’ll be sure to let him know what matches ;)). We got in the car,  fresh with makeup and ready to have a night […]

Above pictures are from our Christmas card this year. I always like to use Christmas card season as an excuse to get creative, and this year we decided to do a photobooth style card to, in short, sum up all we’ve been up to this year. 🙂 It really has been such a beautiful year […]
