Almost eleven years. That’s how long David and Christina have been together. They both shared a love of musicals and plays and went to several performances together during their high school days. In fact, David took Christina to one of the old playhouses they had gone to during high school and they were looking at …
The Journal
This Week
So this morning Ryan wakes me up at 6:30…still in his sweatpants and a t-shirt. “I need your help,” he says. So I get up and he tells me that the water isn’t working. He could hear water in the pipes when he tried turning on the faucet and he couldn’t find any leaks. So …
St. Teresa Anniversary Dinner Party | K of C Hall | Decatur, IL
I’ve been keeping in contact with some of former high school teachers from St. Teresa, and I recently was asked to by the even photographer for their Anniversary Dinner Party. This was the first official event I’ve photographed so it was a new experience for me, and it gave me a chance to focus on …
Starting to Bring Balance Back
So I’m still absorbing everything I learned from Escalate LIVE last week. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking…not only about my business, but also about life in general. One of the recurring themes at Escalate was learning to balance life and work…something I’m not always very good at. One of the things Julia Woods …
Catching Up
After my little trip up to Washington, IL, I feel like I’ve been running a 100 meter race to try and get caught back up on all the things I have going on here – both at work and at home. But I learned so much from the event that I feel like I ought …
Aaron & Kelly Wedding | Decatur, IL
I get to meet so many awesome people doing what I do for a living. I met Aaron at Staples actually. He’s been printing off some of my bills for me and other random little pieces that I needed last minute. One day when I brought in a new marketing piece he asked me if …
Amy & Tim Delaney Wedding | Allerton Park, Monticello, IL Wedding
It was a beautiful Friday morning, not a cloud in the sky. A beautiful glow of light radiated around the Sunken Gardens at Allerton Park. Amy & Tim didn’t want a big wedding. They wanted a very small, intimate wedding – the bride and groom, the minister, his wife, and the photographer. The service wasn’t …
A Hotel Room, a Live Event, and a Little Bit of Pride
It’s Sunday night. I’m on my own in a hotel room up in Washington, IL…two hours away from home, my puppy, and my hubby. This was not where I was expecting to be for the next three days, but I’m thrilled I’m here! A week or so ago, I entered into a drawing to win …
Blogging, Blogging, Blogging
I thought I would use today’s post to talk about this blog. I started this blog…oh…a while ago. To sort of provide a way for people (friends, family, clients) to see what is going on in the world of Stephanie & Ryan and my business Green Tree Media. You may have noticed I write about …
Fall is Here
I don’t know about you but I absolutely love this weather! I thoroughly enjoy when fall comes around every year, and this year is proving no different. I have this mild obsession with super over sized sweaters. For example…right now as I’m typing this I’m wearing my husbands XL grey Carhartt zip-up sweater. The bottom …
