I am a fan of Christmas. Actually, I’m a little obsessed with Christmas. I love traditions, family, cozy fires, Jesus, and gift giving. I love it all. Even though I’m a sucker for traditions, I had never cut down a Christmas tree or even had a real tree. Robby and I decided this was the […]

Woah baby! What a fun & crazy week we have had! This past weekend was our first weekend with out a wedding or shoot in several months…so we lived it up! We got to celebrate Rob’s birthday, snowboard, be with friends, Christmas shop, play in the mountains, watch a Christmas parade, and leave a decorated […]

We are both kids at heart. It is looking like that will never change and we kinda love it. A Halloween has yet to pass with out costumes and pumpkin carving. Last night we had a record number of trick-or-treaters! They lined the streets waiting to come to our house….all 10 of them. Last year […]

Oh wow…where to begin! Kelly & Matthew had one of the funnest weddings I have ever been to. Seriously. It was awesome.

He nervously put the key in the ignition…it was the moment of truth. After 12 hours of working on the car, multiple trips to the auto parts store, pages of manuals, and dirt stained hands, he sat in the driver seat waiting to see if his hard work paid off. Robby’s eyes lit up when […]

Oh my… where to begin. These two are just fabulous! I have been blessed to know Mackenzie for several years now and can’t get enough of her. She is a passionate woman who cares deeply for people and spends most of her time volunteering with High school students. Justin has a heart for kids and […]

It was Friday evening and Rob walked in after a long week of work. As giddy as could be, I handed him a casual shirt and his favorite hat. I asked him to follow me because I had a surprise and something to show him. I grabbed the dinner I made us and a venti […]

I think I fall in love with spring more and more every year. There is something about the blooming trees and late night sunsets that is so refreshing… especially this year. I am trying to breathe in all this goodness before summer gets too hot and crazy. I absolutely love how full my summers get, […]
