I’m pretty sure the only way moms really make friends is either through work or through their kid’s friends. As an entrepreneur, it’s HARD to find good mom friends when most of the people I’m virtually surrounded with don’t have kids (or have older ones). But when my kids were in public school, I was…
Clients who are always down for an adventure, tend to steal my heart right away. When Brittany hired me and said they wanted a snowy engagement session, I may or may not have squealed. (No, I won’t tell! You can decide on your own. Ha!) I presented Brittany and Chad with a few options for…
One of my best kept secrets is that I really love the smell of paper. I’ve always been a bit of a bibliophile. It’s mostly because of the smell when you crack open the book. But it doesn’t just stop there. I was overjoyed when I found Impress Ink and got my hands on some…
I was blessed to take part in over a dozen love stories last year, but this Whiskey Gulch Coffee Pub wedding came to me out of the blue. Sent by an old friend of mine, Jessica and Carl were wonderful to work with and I’m so glad to have added them to the Markie Jones…
I feel like I say this all the time, but that saying “Time flies when you’re having fun” is SO COMPLETELY TRUE. I never imagined I’d wake up one morning with a 10 year old, 6 year old and 17 month old… all while being 15 weeks from meeting our youngest! That’s right, Evan James…
Last year was one for the books, wasn’t it? Going from living every day life without a care in the world to total and complete lockdown where weddings were illegal is something none of us ever thought would actually happen! Sure, there were half a dozen or more movies with that plot line, but did…
Well, hellooooooo 2021. I’m sure you’ve been following along for a while and know it’s so very rare that I offer sales to the public. (Typically you have to be part of my email list in order to get any special deals). But today, I’m excited to be announcing a special deal ya’ll can take…
Whoa friends… I’m still trying to get my feet under me after the crazy start to 2021 we’ve had. Who else is with me? Suddenly it’s halfway through January and we’re pummeling towards Valentine’s Day. Shocking isn’t it? I know ya’ll are trying to figure out those perfect gifts for your families, and I’m here…
For many couples, COVID felt like a huge stumbling block when it came to planning their 2020 weddings. Mandate after mandate made heads spin as couples and vendors alike tried to keep up with all the new requirements. Shannon & Charles refused to let anything stand in their way, and came up with a creative…
After years of driving past this quaint venue, I FINALLY got the opportunity to tour it… and then the crazy season hit, I found out I was pregnant and my blog got pushed to the wayside. Oiy. So I’m catching up and blogging this beautiful space today! Just off the beaten path If you’ve ever…
It has taken me way too long to blog this gorgeous sunset elopement. FINALLY these gorgeous images are getting their 15 minutes of fame on the blog! My husband, Jake, is actually the one responsible for booking this wedding. Would you believe that he worked a wedding show the WEEKEND our son was born? Like…
We’re coming to the blog today with a pretty incredible Historic Victorian Manor Venue! The Orting Manor was one of those pretty little gems that sat on my venue wish list for YEARS before I was gifted the opportunity to photograph a wedding there. Recently, the Orting Manor was purchased by new owners who put…
