When I look at my sweet friend, I’m blown away. By her love.  Her honesty.  Her patience.  Her KINDNESS. Today I got to spend some time with her and her precious family and though there’s more to come, I think these pictures more than any words I could find capture what I see when I […]

what I see

Oh precious lady… You truly are my firework. Go ahead…let those colors burn. I love you to pieces and I’m beyond grateful for you.  And EVERY last one of these facial expressions.   This entire shoot?  Maybe 20 minutes.  All of these facial expressions and moments?  Completely and utterly normal for her…within a span of […]

turning 31

Once upon a time, I entertained visions of Pinterest grandeur. This is my story of my epic Pinterest FAIL. You see, my sweet little man has been craving snow.  Begging for it.  Praying for it.  So I figured I would step in and be the hero.  Like you do when you’re trying to be supermom. […]

my epic pinterest fail

I’ll be back.  Pinky swear. I’m just in the midst of growing.  Of healing.  Of God rewriting so much of me.  Of learning how to be more present in all that I do and create. It’s beautiful.  I’m grateful.  It’s hard.  It’s worth it. But…this.  This is the biggest why I’m not here… These two. […]
