I thought I’d mix in a little fun with my educational posts this month! Today, I wanted to share a few of my favorite beauty items with you, including my FAVORITE red stain. I am by no means a beauty blogger, and I’m extremely picky about what I do use. A little side note, I have very dry…

As many of you know, I absolutely LOVE Christmas. It is my favorite time of the year, and this year, I started to get excited in July {yep, you read that right}. We kick off our family festivities the day after Thanksgiving, and until December 26, I am yelling “MERRY CHRISTMAS” every ten minutes {okay,…

Y’all, I am SO SO SO pumped to share that I am teaming up with JORD Watches to bring you a super fun {and easy} giveaway. I’ll be honest that I’m not often a participator in giveaways. Partially because I never win, but also because people rarely give away actually decent things. So with that in mind…

The past year and a half, I have loved working alongside my fellow creatives and entrepreneurs in several different projects. It great to work with individuals who are passionate about their own skills and talents. Since I started my spokesmodel program and began planning styled shoots, I’ve had several questions about how to collaborate with…

Y’all, I’ve officially decided this year is just crazy. Yep. Normally, the year doesn’t pick up until September. However, this year has started off CRAZY. This month was a mix of out-of-state trips, a wedding, senior pictures, and freezing temperatures. Now that it is the end of April, it seems like Southern IL/St. Louis finally got the…

It seems like the mid-west didn’t quite get the memo that spring started last month, but nevertheless, I had an incredible time in Chicago with Hannah. Plus, we were able to sneak in a few more senior photos. Hannah loves Chicago & coffee, and it only made sense to incorporate that into her senior portraits.…

I think your engagement session is one of the best and sweetest parts of engagement. Now, I’m not just saying that as a photographer. When I was engaged, I remember LOVING our engagement session because it made it all feel so REAL! I was able to get all dressed up, and I basically had a…
