Mannn, what an incredible year 2018 was for both my personal life AND my business! I thought it would be fun to finish off my recap of last year blog posts by highlighting 18 things that happened in 2018! These are not in any order of importance, nor are they in chronological order. I’m really excited to make […]
Read moreMy Word of the Year and 2019 Goals!
The idea of choosing a “One Little Word” to reflect upon during the year and as you go about your daily life always seemed kind of fun to me. Somewhat of a challenge. It’s almost like you're making a theme for your year but only using one word to describe it. This will be the third year that I took part in this idea and […]

I think back to when I first had the thought of creating a photography business. I was scared, and nervous, and had no idea what the heck I was doing or where to even start. But I did know one thing-- I was SO driven. When I knew that college wasn't going to be an option for me to get the education I needed that way, I did the next thing that I thought was best for me. I read […]

Read moreOur Wedding Day | October 5, 2017 at The Redfield Estate in Glenview, IL
This post is WAY overdue and I am SO excited that I'm finally able to write this blog post! This has got me a little teary eyed because around this time last year is when Brian proposed. He did it on Christmas Eve morning in our bed as I was waking up and now that same morning just passed us two days ago. We got so many texts and notifications on social media reminding us that it was a year ago that he popped the question and it was such a bittersweet feeling. I'm so happy and excited to finally be married but, I think I would totally do all of the planning stuff again! How did he do it? Well [...]
Read moreThings I'm Loving | October 2017
The last day of October is sadly here, which means-- Happy Halloween, friends! I've had this idea to start this blog series for a while and I'm so excited to start the first one during my favorite month! I love being festive and all things seasonal and I feel like this is going to be a really fun project for myself to document what I'm loving in the upcoming months. I love the idea that every person has his/her own interests and favorite things and that is what makes them unique. I want my readers and friends to use this blog series to get to know me more and be able to connect with me! [...]
