I’m approaching this blog post kinda differently then I have previous recap posts. The most obvious way is because the actual workshop hasn’t even happened yet! So this part can’t possibly tell you what it means to me, because I haven’t taken much from it yet. This opening is about the hopes I have for […]

There are alot of times I look at my husband and truly don’t know what I did to deserve him. I have no sob story when it comes to boyfriends, I met Kenny when I was 18 and literally had two boyfriends before that(and I use that term lightly with them, I was in high […]

Today’s blog is just a little punch of sunshine for me. I have been swamped like crazy which I am SO thankful for! So I’m sharing just so random things that are getting me through being overwhelmed!! Taylor Swift!! Her music is such a sound track for me…I can always listen to it & belt […]

There are days that I am D O N E before they even begin.  Amen? You know those ones, where the day is long but the hours are short? The to do list longer than the fuel in the productivity tank?  They leave me burnt out. Having so much to do, I hide from it all […]

This post is so strange for me to write. You see, I could SWEAR that this kid was born yesterday. Nearly 11 pounds and well past his due date, the sixth Carlson kid; really our missing piece. Now, in the sake of total honesty: I was not thrilled with my parents announcement. I swore they […]

I arrived about 40 minutes early. Better early than on time, and better on time than late I thought. Plus, they didn’t know Norfolk. They had no idea how parking would be.

Photography is obviously one of those areas that is SOooooOOO subjective. It’s art and what one person VALUES as art another may not rest much on. What you value is something that you hold dear, wedding images should rank up there! Right next to the one you’re marrying 😉 It’s not really uncommon to receive […]

I’m a girl who loves her quotes. I save, pin, scribble, snapshot them anywhere. I reread them, IG them, post them, print them and hang them in my home. I just love inspirational words. A friend sent me this one Sunday morning…. You see, Saturday I was a peach. I wrote a comment in jest […]

So this post won’t be nearly as picture heavy as her gallery, because I want Emily to be able to share some of the more Christmas-y photos for her Christmas cards! Her and Bryan were married earlier this year, have become parents to their first fur baby and are navigating the waters known as newlywed […]

Ahhhh this family!! First I have known there for about 9 years! Their oldest daughter Aubrey I remember running around my mother in laws dance studio in a tutu, the bluest eyes and blondest hair and sweetest little voice. A few years later came her sister Morgan and then baby Jackson was born! Maverick even […]
