This is something you post in the first few weeks of baby being born. Maybe even before baby is born. Definitely with your newborn photos. But here I am, two years later and I’m finally sharing my personal, wild ones baby room. But nothing I do is ever “normal.” Late 2019, when my littlest guy […]

If you don’t follow me on Facebook or Instagram:  You’re missing out. You missed my incredible news! This was my A.M. post: My water has broke. Headed into labor. They plan to induce at 2pm. It will be two precious little boys. I’ve carried them in my heart for so long! I’ve been praying for […]

  Today is an Earth Day to remember. I found this post on my friend @Ashlynjumpponen’s Instagram page written by Gutpreet Gill and thought offering a different perspective to the Covid crisis and it’s impact on our economy was much needed. It read:   “Amongst all the fear and confusion, there’s this.. a different perspective. […]

It’s always a weird feeling being on the other side of a camera. When WE become the muses for a change, I totally understand how my clients feel. It can be weird friends, I get it. But find a photographer you can relate to, and that makes you feel comfortable enough to be you during […]

For those of you who didn’t know or missed our announcement in Nov of 2018 on Instagram, we are foster parents. Proud foster parents. We have two amazing little nuggets and started fostering them in 2018 and early 2019. While understanding the need for privacy and not sharing too much, I do however want to […]

Sometimes I still can’t believe I have TWO kids in the house. It happened so fast yet I’ve been praying for this journey for a long time. The life of a foster parent/foster mom is quite interesting, fun and all sorts of things. I have two incredible boys currently in our home and are loving […]

An itinerary from the ocean & islands of Phuket to the city and forests of Chiang Mai. We only had 8 days in Thailand so we opted to skip over the busyness of Bangkok knowing we could get the same Thailand experience and the rich culture by seeing the beaches, forests and smaller popular cities […]

I say it every year… this is hands down one of my favorite weeks of my every year. Hurricanes and earth shattering conditions couldn’t keep me from this trip. We typically have a group that heads down to Tijuana in the spring, when I am coming out of my “less busy” season, but this past year […]

I was attempting to compile my house renovation and remodeling photos (the before’s and after’s) with my Holly & Mistletoe Holiday Homes tour images, but it was just becoming a “lot.” I’ll be posting our before and afters soon however, because those are SO fun and a little humorous at times. And really my main […]

A peak into our first remodel project (done in 2013-yes it’s taken me that long to share)….. I can’t believe we are going into three years owning this charming 115 year old home. We bought our little home just off the historic Independence, Missouri square March of 2013. It was move in ready, newer carpet, newer […]
