Say 'Hi' on InstaGRAM!

 
They still fight like mortal enemies occasionally, but thank goodness something clicked somewhere in the last year and they *finally* get along like the best friends I always wanted them to be. ⠀ 👬⠀ Mamas, what’s your go-to strategy for dealing with sibling fights?
Nothing like putting on my wedding photographer hat to remind me of what the photographers I edit for go through all. the. time. . Wedding photography is tough! It's basically a full day photo shoot with numerous people and zero do-overs! You not only have to be technically skilled to capture all the critical shots, but also still think creatively. & this is only a fraction of everything it takes to run a wedding photography business! So to all my wedding photographer friends out there, hats off to you! I'll stick to editing your photos, because that's where this introvert shines. 👩🏻‍💻 :) . All that to say, I had a TON of fun photographing my brother in law and *new* sister in law's wedding a few weeks ago. Having the opportunity to capture sweet moments of people in love really never gets old! & that makes all the hard work worth it. ♥️
A weird week full of sniffles & tiredness ended with our neighbor’s dog being hit by a car right in front of all the kids standing at the bus stop... Ugh, it was a tough morning. But I’m reminded of a beautiful quote: “We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength inside that emerges when life puts us to the test.” - Isabel Allende 💚 Something to always remember when life challenges us.
It’s launch day for my friend Ashley at @she_plans! I’m a total nerd when it comes to planners and have a major crush on her new quarterly notebooks for 2019! We had our fourth photoshoot a few weeks ago and it’s always such a blast getting an early peek at her new creations. Are you a weekly or daily type of planner person?
Heading north for the weekend sans kiddos to get a taste of cooler fall weather 🍂 and celebrate my brother in law’s wedding. Going to miss this cutie (& his brother) tho!
Three day weekends are loved more than ever now that they're both in school full time. 💙💙
My baby is a Kindergartener! My oldest is a 3rd grader! And the house is incredibly quiet! 😳 Summer was amazing and went way too fast, but I am enjoying the peace and ability to focus on work. 😊
A little update on our Fixer Upper: Three weeks of foundation work and they are nearly finished. This was a big first step that doesn't look like much from the outside, but is hugely felt on the inside. No longer does it feel like a fun house while walking through the uneven floors. We also tore down a terribly done add-on that will someday be a nice front patio. And in the meantime, lots of enjoying the town. Next step painting!
