5 reasons to get family photos every year

Lately I’ve been going through lots of family photo albums. I have been spending a lot more time at my Grandma’s house going through old shoeboxes full of pictures and albums that are literally falling apart at the seams. But without fail, whenever I go through these images or show them again to someone else, the world seems to light up one notch. Pictures evoke memories! Even if you can’t personally recall the moment, there’s something about a picture that tells a story of a past time that makes you smile no matter what.

My 2019 rewind -- a look into my camera roll

This is my 2019 recap through my camera roll. I was trying to do this on a monthly basis for awhile, so I’m really excited to see everything from 2019 in one glance. I take TONS of pictures, and this should be fun. Can you guess home many pictures I took in 2019?? My iPhone camera roll is telling me 4,180… but I know it’s more than that if you count all of the weddings, family session, and business type work I did. Whew, it’s been a year!

becoming the family historian

For me, what first started as a passion project and a hobby has over time become a proud privilege and honor. I am the keeper of the memories, the storyteller of my family’s history, and yes, I am responsible for its passing on to others. I capture the stories of my family members, the experiences that we have together, our thoughts during each mundane day, and I pride myself in this job of keeping my family’s memories alive.

July Recap

Why do I feel like every time I get on here to review one of my months I always feel so overwhelmed about how the month went. The last recap I did I felt so busy, so full of different events and activities, and mostly I just felt like I had so much change going on in my life. But then this past month happens, and I feel like everything is just 10x more overwhelming and busy and full of change. Is this just adult life now?

we sold our house

I’ve been having lots of different emotions these last couple of days. We sold our house—and I’m happy about it, but I’m also really sad about it. I’m happy because selling our house in a matter of two months is a really big accomplishment. We were able to make a teeny tiny bit of profit even though we’ve only been living there for a little over a year. And we were able to move our life to Indiana fully and finally start our adventure here. But I’m sad because I loved that house. I have tons of memories and life changing events that happened in that house. And I’m also scared for our future in Indiana a little bit.

Yesterday we had to make that awful decision that no pet owner ever wants to make. Our old girl Skye had a stroke earlier in October that left her back legs nearly useless to her. We’ve loved her so much these last weeks letting her eat all the
