When I set out to scale back my blogging last year, I wasn’t intending to nearly abandon the blog altogether, save for posting a few photo shoots and weddings here and there. Then again — when I set out to start a photography business early in 2011, I wasn’t intending to become a blogger! Sometimes […]

February has felt like a whirlwind — and somehow, it’s already almost over. Things have slowed down the last couple of days, but even in the middle of the busyness, it’s been a great second month of the year! Last week, Danny’s family visited for several days. We had a great time with them — shopping, hitting […]

So, Pinterest and I have never been BFFs, until recently when I went on a vegan-food-pinning kick. And then when Danny and I decided we wanted to have a photo booth at our Christmas parties! DIY gold metallic backdrop for the win! It had been a few years since we had hosted a Christmas party, and-oh-my-goodness-why-didn’t-we-do-this-every-December?! […]

On the first Sunday of Advent this year, Danny and I lit the first Advent candle at church. Two days before, the day after Thanksgiving, we kicked off the Christmas carols and put up our tree, our nativity scene, our mantle decor. A few days after that, we went and got some fresh evergreen boughs and […]

Five years of marriage have gone by so quickly. It feels as if I took a breath on that crisp afternoon when we got married, and by the time I exhaled, here we are: Five years farther into our lives, into this adventure, into learning each other so deeply, so profoundly.

After an early birthday dinner at my parents’ house on Sunday, my brother told me there was something I needed to see. So we all trooped into the family room, where he turned on a VHS he’d found — an old home movie, first of his seventh birthday (highlight: as he listened to the musical candle on […]
