Greysen's 2 year old photos
Greysen turned two back in September, but I’m just now getting around to editing and uploading these photos. This sweet boy was born during busy wedding season when I’m consumed with work year after year, so his sessions are always put on the back burner, haha!
Our 2023 family photos
Here’s our 2023 family photos! I use these blog posts more as a place to post and share our family photos than as a blog post to educate about memory keeping or anything. It’s a good reminder for all of you to hire a professional, get photos done, and keep documenting your lives. Since Greysen was born we’ve been getting family photos done every single year.
Greysen's 1 year old photos & cake smash
In September this year Greysen will be 2 years old! Time has truly flown by. That being said, I never got around to posting a blog showcasing his photos from his one year old session and cake smash. So, before he turns another year older, I figured I better feature his 1 year old photos on our blog.
Our 2022 family photos
I don’t think there’s much need for text here… mostly I just want a place to post and share our family photos. But, serious question—How often do you get family photos? Our goal is to get family photos every year. And then extended family photos for my side of the family and Trevor’s side of the family every other year. That means this year we’re getting THREE different family portrait sessions. Thankfully I LOVE pictures. Here is session #1… our little family.
May 2021 Recap -- baby stuff, lots of weddings, and podcast breaks
Whew! Another month down? Wow, things are flying by. I can’t believe that in 3 short months we will have a newborn. There’s so much to do and so little time. My wedding schedule during the month of May consumed me and felt like it took up all of my time (which weddings typically do). There’s the planning for a wedding, prepping for the big day, working all day on my feet, being exhausted the following day, and then spending the next day catching up before I have to do it all over again. If I were to describe my May that’s what I would tell you it felt like—exhausting.
Annapolis, Maryland | November 9, 2020
November 9, 2020 I visited Maryland. I haven’t blogged about it for so long because, well, things just get in the way. But here we are—better late than never. I was actually in Annapolis, MD, to visit my sister who lives there. She wanted some holiday pictures to use for cards at the time, and I was happy to take a “work trip” and oblige.
My trip to DC during the 2020 election
I visited one of my sisters, Sara, in Maryland between November 6th-10th. She had moved there earlier in the fall and wanted some visitors, so of course I took her up on that offer. She also wanted pictures for Holiday cards, and as I’m always the go-to family photographer, I was thankful I could say it was a “work trip.” During that time we did many things including doing a day tour of the National Mall and Memorial Parks in Washington, DC.
Documenting during the holidays
Any fellow memory keeping addicts out there know that the holidays are an excellent time to be scrapbooking, journaling, and taking tons of pictures and video! I find that documenting the holidays can be one of the easiest times, and often times it’s very expected. If you’re new to the memory keeping world, now is a great time to start because for some strange reason people are more okay with you take 100000s of pictures during the holidays than they are any other time.
Christmas 2016
Christmas couldn't have been any more perfect. I got to spend a few days celebrating with my love--opening our own gifts, starting our own traditions, and making memories together. Then we drove off to his family's place in Kansas, and finally wrapped it all up (all the way til New Year's) with my family in Indiana.Christmas couldn't have been any more perfect.

Blogmas Day 18 - A new hairstyle!
It was time for something fresh and new, and that's what I got. I love my new hair do even though it's not even fully done yet! I can't wait to get it finished up and play with it! New hair always makes me feel so good and fresh.
