She's my favorite. In the good and the bad, in times of plenty or in want, having this one by my side brings me life, joy, and hope. I am feeling so thankful today that we have stuck together no matter what and that we have chosen to fight for each other rather than just for ourselves. I know how hard it can be to love me(I have a hard enough time with that) so it is humbling to know that she chooses to do that every single day. I feel lucky to know that I find safety and tru

Happy Saturday! Today Caleb and I had some fun meeting with our wedding clients. So blessed to be apart of their special days and relive those timeless moments with them! Caleb got me these flowers from the South Pasadena street fair. It was really like I was carrying around a tree at the fair, I laughed as I couldn't see where I was walking. Glad I had Caleb to guide me! 😂 What's something fun you've done or are doing this weekend? Love to hear from you!! #flowers #Client

Happy FriYAY, friends! I could have stood and looked at this tree all day. Hoping we all stop and look up at the beauty around us today and this weekend. 🌸🌿 #flowers #Pink #Purple #Pasadena #Lookup

I’ve always loved flowers. My families house in Pittsburgh is directly next to an exit road that leads up a big hill to the elementary and middle school I went to. There were many wild flowers and blackberries along the walk, and in the right season I would always pick a bunch of both. I would pick the flowers for my mom and the blackberries for my dad. I would be so proud walking down the hill and hiding them behind my back before I pulled them out and surprised my beautiful

Caleb and I love young people. I mean we love people in general, but we feel like kids at heart and the energy and life kids bring is so awesome. I miss my students so much, and the time I get with kids rejuvenates me! These two adorable twin 8th graders are our neighbors, and we all enjoyed a lot of fun and laughter shooting them yesterday. They love animals and sports and have such zest for life. Caleb and I kept saying afterwards how much fun we had and we need to photogra

Caleb and I lived in a tiny apartment filled with hand-me-down furniture that was all mismatched for the start of our marriage. We loved that little place. And even though there were so many colors and styles going on, it was our first place together and so special and dear to us. Every new gift from family and friends an exciting thing to use, cherish and feel the love and generosity of the people in our lives. We were so sad when we got a notice that they were kicking out a

Here she is! This is the woman of my dreams, my wonderful wife and best friend. I am so thankful for this one. She is THE hardest working, and most inspiring person that I know. I wanted to take a few moments to brag on her and to share my heart. My wife is an amazing person. Not only is she the most beautiful person both inside and out, but she is the kindest, most caring human being I have ever encountered. I admire so many things about her. She takes so much time to get to

Last week at church our pastor talked about the things we do now will only grow as we get older. If we are bitter now we will be more bitter later. If we are sweet now we will be more sweet later. If we choose thankfulness now we will keep choosing thankfulness. This quote above "what if you woke up today only with what you thanked God for yesterday" really has pushed me to press more into a grateful heart. Not out of a place of fear but out of a place of appreciation. Some

Ashley, Gene, Lily and Baby Bump. This beautiful family is expecting baby #2 very soon and it was a wonderful experience for Caleb and me capturing their family maternity session. Just as our shoot was wrapping up, the two whales Caleb and I saw earlier less than 100 feet from shore popped up again. What an experience for little Lily to see these whales. They were so huge that she was a bit scared at first, but after her gorgeous mom, Ashley, reassured her that the whales wou

Happy Saturday, friends! We hope you have a beautiful day! I'm reminded today to look out for the beauty around me. To choose thankfulness and to look down less and up more. We will be stepping away from our phones most of the weekend and hopefully cherishing time together. Double tap if you are with me to use your phone less and be in the moment more! 👋😊 #flowers #pretty #purple
