This month reminded me that in friendship and family, nothing compares to quality time in person. My heart was overcome by the many (safe) reunions with many people that I love. I didn’t realize how much I yearned for this. Very thankful for the opportunity to safely connect in person after months (and years) of […]
Every year our team pauses in the hustle of this holiday season to reflect on the gifts and graces the year brought. This practice is a way for us to posture our hearts toward gratitude and intentionally look for the good we might have missed over the course of a year. Like most of the […]
Carla & James are one of my couples who were forced to adjust their original wedding plans because of COVID. They instead opted for an intimate elopement, just the two of them – with hopes of a bigger celebration in the future. There were no witnesses on this day except for me. They didn’t choose […]
We treasure every opportunity to witness your lives from behind our camera lens. Capturing and preserving your stories, moments, the love you share, and this moment in time so it will never be forgotten. I met up with Erik & Courtney late this summer. During our time together, we spoke about what community looks like […]
October was one of the harder months this year, physically, emotionally, and mentally. We experienced life loss, vacation plans cancelled, Wayne taking his boards, unexpected health conditions, personal conflict, and exhaustion. I won’t sit here and negotiate between the good and the bad; I’ll admit it was heavy laden. I was vulnerable to the temptation […]
When life as we knew it, changed back in March, I (like most of the world) was blissfully unaware of how long we would be at home and without work. Month after month went and the postponements and cancellations happened. With the extra time, I realized that I was given the gift of time to […]
Since COVID, engaged couples all over the world have had to pivot their wedding plans. Restricting your guest counts, taking safety precautions, and even postponing. We feel for you. Kristen and Matt’s wedding day was proof that even with all the changes this year has brought, you can still have a meaningful and beautiful celebration. […]
On their first date (Lily told us it resembled a job interview than a first date. lols), these two closed down a sushi restaurant. The next thing they knew they were on vacation in Maui and Jesse was surprising her with a ring! Since then they have added a pup and a cat into their […]
Their love story in one sentence (as told by Christian): “She is the catnip to my cat, the chips to my sandwich, and the pebble to my penguin.” The night Larissa and Christian met, Christian strategically sat next to Larissa at a coworker’s birthday dinner. As they got to know one another they realized they […]
Fall is here! The beginning of our busiest season for our personal and work lives has arrived. As a new chapter of the year starts, the Lord reminds me again that He is doing a new thing. We continued Pre-K homeschooling, which is a very lax, go-with-the-flow type of “schooling” because, well COVID has our […]
