When your baby sister has a baby, something amazing happens! You see, Gina has always been my ‘little’ sister, but mostly just because of our seven year age difference. In actuality, Gina has always been strong and sure-footed in her own right, and over the years, been someone I’ve come to lean on. When I […]

It wasn’t your ordinary meeting–like at a coffee shop, or at a party all dressed-up, or through friends. No no. Nick and Fran met at 5:30…in the morning!!! They were both attending the morning class at their local CrossFit at the time, and though they both went to the same class, they didn’t talk much […]

Aye Carumba!!! How is it already September?!? With summer days coming to a close, I find myself looking forward to the new season ahead! Love me some fall colors and boot weather! But before I get ahead of myself with all this fall talk, I wanted to share one of my favorite sessions from August […]

We sat together on the back deck of our college house. It would be our last night before turning in the rental keys. So we sat, barefoot, side-by-side on the deck chairs, overlooking the city entwined with so many memories from the last four years spent together. It was almost as if we knew, keenly […]

Remember Halle from the Cupcake Wars themed shoot?!? She’s darling, I know! Well, if you can believe it, Miss Halle has an equally darling little brother named Grant. Ah, these two couldn’t be cuter! I especially love it cause Halle is totally girly-girl while Grant is all-boy. Like during Halle’s cupcake shoot filled with sprinkles […]

This beautiful, sweet girl is celebrating her FIRST birthday TODAY!!! Madison is the youngest of three and is just the happiest little thing! Her sweet nature and smiles were a joy to capture.
