We’ve successfully celebrated Rylie’s 1st Easter! 😀 It wasn’t super “easter-y,” mainly because I didn’t see the point in getting her an Easter basket or doing an egg hunt (you better believe I’m doing that next year though!!! 😛 ), but we had a great, full morning of church (if you want to see our […]

<3 HAPPY VALENTINES DAY <3 Late last week, I did a valentines themed mini photo session with our precious Rylie. Not surprisingly, I’m in love with pretty much all of them but here are just a few to make you smile 🙂 [warning :: unbelievable amount of cuteness below. proceed at your own risk!] I’m […]
christmas in illinois
Like I said in my blog post last week (our little christmas), even though Aaron & I have decided our family won’t be traveling on Christmas, we decided to make an exception this year to bless Michelle. Her family (3 sisters, both parents, aunts, uncles and cousins) all live in Illinois, and she rarely gets […]
our little christmas
Every Christmas Aaron & I have spent together, we have traveled, so one thing Aaron & I have decided with our family is that we don’t want to travel on Christmas – we will always make it a priority to have Christmas at home. However, this year we are making an exception to see Michelle’s […]

my 1st mother’s day
As all of you know, Sunday (May 8th) was Mother’s Day. I had a couple different people tell me throughout the week that I needed to celebrate this year because I am now a mom. Talk about putting things into perspective! 😛 When Sunday came, we went to church where our pastor preached a message […]
picking out our christmas tree
SUNDAY (12.6.15) Aaron had the whole day off of work, so we decided to go get our Christmas tree! 😀 We wanted to go to an actual tree farm and enjoy the whole “finding our Christmas tree” experience, but the closest one charged $30 & up depending on the kind of tree + size. Unwilling […]
thanksgiving week
I know it’s been a couple weeks since I’ve really posted anything personal. It’s been a crazy couple weeks & I’ve been spending so much time on my photography business I felt like I had hardly taken any photos even worth posting on my blog. But I always seem to forget how much I love blogging! So… here’s […]

Sunday, Aaron & I went to the pumpkin patch with the tribe. Here’s our short film sharing in our trip ::
