What started as a wedding photography blog in 2012, slowly morphed into writing about traveling, our home, gardening, our darling yorkies, teaching, mental health, and overall snippets of goodness in life. I'm so glad you're here!

Although I don't blog as frequently as I once did when I was a wedding photographer, this area of the internet is like a second diary for me. It recalls some of my favorite moments in life, filled with photos and details that offer that nostalgic goodness we all know and love.

As you peruse through my writing, I hope you find yourself smiling more than anything. I hope it brings you joy. I hope the beauty of my photographs and art remind you that beauty is everywhere. I hope as you read about my own mental health, that you feel seen, heard, and realize you're not alone. And I hope you read this as if I'm chatting across the table with you, just as a close friend would. Hugs and love to you, dear reader.

the blog!
