Wishing you and your family the happiest of holidays!  Thank you to my wonderful clients for making 2016 such an amazing and fun year!  It has been an honor to serve you, and I’m looking forward to the New Year!  I’m excited to take a much needed short break to spend time with family and friends over the holidays!  Our little guys are ready for Christmas – Remington has been patiently counting down the days!  They’ll be visiting Santa this evening!  Who knew you could make an online appointment with Mr. Claus?!  He’s a very busy guy, so it makes sense!  Here’s hoping it goes smoothly!  On Remington’s wish list this year is a guitar, ice skates, a polar bear on ice skates, skiis, and a skateboard and/or snowboard!  Emerson hasn’t really said what he’d like from Santa…however, Remington said that he wanted Legos! Ha!  Here’s a peek at our our family photos.  We had a gorgeous fall evening at the always beautiful Mustard Seed Gardens! 

It’s almost impossible to believe that 4 years ago today, you made us parents!  Little did we know what a crazy, fun-filled adventure we had embarked upon!  You are caring and sweet, full of energy and imagination, passionate (especially about dinosaurs!), intelligent and independent, fun-loving, and so much more!  We are so proud to call you our son, and we love seeing how wonderful of a big brother you have become to Emerson!  Happy 4th Birthday, Remington!  We love you to the moon and back!  xoxoxo

One of my favorite details to photograph at weddings and in general anywhere I travel has to be flowers!  Their color and texture and shape beg me to photograph them.  Peonies are so beautiful, and they top my list of favorite blooms.  They were the focal flowers in my wedding bouquet. And my parents planted some heirloom peonies in our yard for us last fall!  They have been blooming over the past two weeks, and I am smitten with them!  When I saw that a friend of mine had signed up for a floral arranging class featuring peonies, I crossed my fingers that it would work out for me, and it did!  It was so much fun, and just the bit of creative inspiration I’d been searching for!  Thank you to Kindred – the boheme collective for hosting such a fun event!  If you’re looking for one of a kind clothing and accessories in a magazine-worthy environment, check them out and tell them I sent you!  I can’t wait to go back – I have my eye on some gorgeous items! And many thanks to sweet and talented Jacki of Ladybird for teaching all of us some floral arranging wisdom!  With such swoon-worthy flowers, I couldn’t help but have a mini photo shoot!  Lola loves peonies too, so she happily modeled for a few!  Here are some favorites!

 

 

Eight years ago today we said “I do!”  Today the sky is blue and the sun is shining, much the opposite of our wedding day.  Gray skies, misty rain, and cool temperatures didn’t keep us from having a wonderful day surrounded by our family and friends.  I’d say they were right about rain on your wedding day being good luck.  Eight years later I have two handsome boys, a career that I love, a loving family and group of friends, and the best husband I could have dreamed of.  Reggie, Happy Anniversary, I love you soooo much!!!  

Wishing a Happy 47th Anniversary to my Mom and Dad on this day too!   Love you both!!!  xoxo


We’re headed off for a day of adventuring.  I don’t know where we’re going or what we’ll do exactly, however, I do know there’s no one else I’d rather adventure along with than this man of mine.
