I started incorporating their birthday party theme into their shoots, which adds a fun and creative twist to the shoot. Rylie chose to have a SpiderMan themed birthday party (she didn’t care that it was the same […]
letters to rylie – 5 years old
dear Rylie, how are we here? how are you 5 years old, in Kindergarten, martial arts, and picking your own birthday party themes and cake flavors without any prompting!?

together women’s conference
I was so excited to go to the women’s conference this year. between the at-home version last year and skipping 2019’s because I was literally having a baby (hey Paisley), I was looking forward to being there in person. Our venue was the cutest and the decor was dreamy. The session was so powerful too. […]

emmaline started gymnastics
Since Emmaline could walk, we’ve noticed her ability to balance, tumble (intentionally) and recently, summersault. I kept putting off the idea of gymnastics, but the thought would not leave my brain. An acquaintance of ours owns a gymnastics, cheer and tumbling gym (which also happens to lease a section of their building to the new […]
