You know, there’s a lot I’ve done over the past several years I’m really proud of. I’ve built this portrait business, which quite honestly I still struggle to grow. I’ve created this online space where I’ve shared my heart and journey with you and I’ve had so many reach out to me with how that’s …

Daily Bible Reading
Over the past several years, one of my new year’s goals had been to read my bible more. I would always do well with this for a period of time and then life would happen and I’d get busy and my bible studies would peeter off. This was partly because I didn’t want to just …

Favorite Album Spreads of 2017

She wants so badly to walk… even though we haven’t quite figured out crawling – she’s become quite the pro at pulling herself up and we’re pretty sure she’ll be walking by her birthday. She’s still …
Our Christmas Cards
One of my favorite things to do over the years has been to design our Christmas cards. Every year I’ve tried to some up with a way to make our cards special or clever. It never mattered to me that we didn’t have children to show off on our cards – it just meant we …
