This is something I’ve subconsciously thought about blogging for a while but I never knew how. It’s a subject that isn’t easy to approach and I knew I would always go at it with caution, but when my bride emailed me back last night– she opened it up for me BEAUTIFULLY. And for that?! Mike…

A New Tattoo | Personal
It had been over a decade since the last tattoo, and I am a big fan of them and felt so overdue for this! I have wanted one for years and chickened out over and over, or was pregnant and couldn’t do it! There are a few others I am determined to get but in…
Mike is 28 | Personal
What a butthead..he gets to stay in his 20’s for two more years and here I am approaching THIRTY in 2 days! Haha! No no, it’s okay..I always get to hold the “respect your elders” card over him. It works wonders. He listens to his older lady and knows I know best..HAHA! He’s a wonderful…
Polkadot Sweater & Red Heels Project | 5 Months | Personal: Miss Elle Marie
Much to our poutiness– she wants to grow up really quickly. Little woman here sees her sister doing something and wants to do the same SO badly. She thinks she can walk if you hold her hands, she can ALREADY sit up! She was sitting up alone at 4 1/2 months, like Cammy. Elliebells is…
Breathing | Personal
Some of you poor, poor souls– you’re over it I’m sure. This transition of moving for us is something I’ve been sharing constantly with the world because it’s been HUGE for our life. It’s the story of a boy and a girl who met, fell in love, got married (here, where we now live!), had…
Downgrading Materials & Upgrading Happiness | Personal
This past Sunday, we eagerly RAN out the door of our Kempsville Virginia Beach neighborhood. The girls were packed, we were ready to pick up the key. THE KEY to our home in the place of our dreams, the Outer Banks. Mike still hadn’t seen it, but he trusted me. I told him several times that it was definitely not the…
Polkadot Sweater & Red Heels Project | 4 Months | Personal: Miss Elle Marie
Already four months. Trying to sit up (but can’t because she’s still a big headed baby and her back just isn’t strong enough yet!) – laying on the ground and lifting her head well, being the sunshine in every single day for us. She lights up our life, her sister’s..and everyone she meets! She NEVER…
White Sweater & Glittery Heels Project | 2 1/2 Years | Personal: Miss Cammy Mae
Two and a half– here it is in all it’s sassy glory! I LOVE this project! Watching her grow monthly in the same little get up has been so amazing! One day she is gonna love this and I hope she does it with her kids one day, too! Cammy wasn’t officially a sister yet…
Brides Mamas | Brides + Grooms
Mamas, I get it. I understand what you’re thinking when she’s getting in that dress. Wasn’t she just a toddler dressed up pretending to be a bride? Wasn’t she just in your arms for the first time wrapped up like a baby burrito so little and warm and sweet? Back when she needed you all…
Polkadot Sweater & Red Heels Project | 3 Months | Personal: Miss Elle Marie
Here’s one of those really transitional months where BAM- she just looks different! For Cammy, it was definitely between three and four months– like her face all of a sudden just matured from cute newborn alien-ish (it’s true, they all look a little strange when SO young!) to oh– a real BABY face is here…
A First Bike | Personal
I just have to say thank you to everyone I’ve EVER worked with. Every single person who took a chance on letting me capture a piece of their life. I haven’t always been the best technically, I look back at my old stuff and cringe but honestly we all start somewhere and grow grow grow….
What’s Ellie Like? | Personal
I am realizing more and more than although I take a ton of pictures of her and her sister, I’m not doing Ellie’s personality enough justice in a little caption here and there. So many people ask me what she’s like in comparison to her sister’s personality..and I can think of a few ways to…
