My Memorial Day weekend officially kicked off my 2019 wedding season with two people whom I just adore, Taylor and James. It was also my first wedding (and shoot) since having baby Atlas, which would’ve made me nervous but I knew that the day would be so laid back and chill because it was Taylor and James’ wedding day. Ever since we met, working with them has been so easy, SO enjoyable and so much fun. I knew that their wedding day was the perfect transition into “working mom” mode!…
Read MoreI think it's true that the energy we put out into the world comes back to us. Sometimes that's in the form of life events. Sometimes that's in the form of relationships. If you're really lucky, it's both. When I first met Elizabeth and Dan, I could sense how chill and laid back they were, which totally spoke to me. Once we started shooting their engagement session the other night, I watched another layer peel back and saw just how much joy and laughter they share, together.

I was also desperate to create SOMETHING. I didn't know what that something was going to be, until the idea popped into my head that I needed to make a dress. Ya'll. I can't sew very well and constructing an article of clothing just isn't my forte. But I had a vision, so naturally I told my mother and enlisted her help in making this vision something tangible. If you don't know, my mother is kind of a crafty genius. She has been able to make nearly everything I've ever asked her to and I'm so grateful that we get to create artwork together!..
Read MoreWhen it comes to style, Hillary and Andrea of The Garment Theory have it in spades. If you're in Youngstown, Ohio then I'm sure you have heard of them, unless you have been living under a rock :P In that case, Hillary and Andrea are local fashion bloggers and large advocates of supporting local businesses. If you scroll through their blog or their Instagram feed, you'll see that they throw together killer outfits from stores in the area. They're also stellar at finding the best deals on clothes, shoes, jewelry and all those great items that make up the perfect outfit. I'm always so impressed on the different looks they come up with and attention to details they have, not to mention how affordable their looks are. I just want them to be my personal shoppers ;] With all of that talent, I have to add that they are sweet and kind as can be!...
