If you see this, I am testing some things. Please disregard this post.

Riley’s Easter Photos

A couple days before Easter, I suddenly realized I hadn't taken Easter photos yet. So I packed up Riley and took her to a beach park. While I was editing them I realized I ended up choosing the exact same tree as I did last year too! I won't lie and say it went perfect...

Easter 2018

This year we Eastered hard haha. The day before Easter, I took Riley outside to dye some eggs. We did the whipped cream and food coloring type of eggs so that she can get as messy as she wanted. I boiled the eggs in vinegar to help get the colors to stay vibrant. I got...

Mini Stories 5

Hey guys! It's been awhile since I've done one of these! Enjoy!! ____________________ So this is totally random but I have this bottle of dish soap. It may sound crazy, but I don't think this is an ordinary bottle of dish soap. Why you might ask? Because I bought this bottle when Riley was born....

And Now, Hives…

This year has really started off with a bang. I feel like I've disappeared from here lately and even a bit from instagram but in all honesty, I've been a bit overwhelmed. As we roll into March, I can say 2018 has really been testing all my mommy powers more than 2017 and I almost...

Kayleigh is 1!

Welcome Baby Gemma!

Remember Amanda and Jeremy from their maternity session a couple months ago? I was so excited to get an email asking if I could do some newborn family photos with their precious little Gemma the day they were actually going in to have her! It was something I haven't done before but I quickly fell...

Pictures Only Get Sweeter With Time

Over the last couple weeks I've started to have multiple conversations with families who say "Why buy a picture? It is only going to sit in a box." It's not that I haven't heard people say this statement before but it has begin to hit me so much again recently that I haven't been able...

#MeToo

Recently, I was at work and was approached by one of the guys who works in the dish department. All of them are very quiet but that night  was a particularly slow night and he looked curious. I acknowledged him and thought he was introducing himself. I shook his hand not knowing where this would...
