My Baby Sis

Ash and I haven't always been the closest of sisters. I was a snob of a big sister half our growing up years, and she was the cute baby sister that everyone liked and loved borrowing my stuff. We went through the typical sister rivalry of makeup and hair products and clothes. We were separated by twin brothers, and sometimes I got along better with them, and sometimes she did. 

But then something happened. I think when we both hit 20, we suddenly realized that, hey, we a.r.e. gonna be friends for life and without anything being said, we were cool. We have permission to talk about anything to each other. And of course we don't see eye to eye on everything, but we got each other's backs.

I'm such a fan of my sister. She has a crazy giving heart and a dry sense of humor that you gotta have grown up with her to f.u.l.l.y. appreciate. She loves games and giving. She works crazy hard at what she does, and has already let me borrow money from her on more than one occasion - she's just that cool.

Anyways, my little sis, yeah. She's a babe. My dad better have the shotgun handy.  ;-)

Remeberings

I came across this image a couple days ago from one of my first ten weddings or so. As I look at it, I marvel at how far God has brought my work within wedding photography. I've learned a lot of lessons along the way and He has been so very faithful to connect brides to me who both love my work and what my brand and business stands for. I hope this year I can take more steps to glorify and honor Him with my business, and that my work will represent love as He loves us...

Winter Wanderings

What is it about winter that urges a sense of contemplation and self evaluation? What is it about the cold harsh winds that gives way to craving the times ahead? Perhaps it is nothing, perhaps it is simply the desire for light, for warmth, for inspiration and new phases of life...

Maybe it's because winter gives this mysterious feeling that hints to life beyond the empty tree branches and dead fields. It asks the question: what lies ahead.

Lovely Times

I'm just sayin...I come from a pretty hot family.  ;-)

These holidays have been really, really good for me. I've been out in St. Louis the last month, just hanging out with my family, resting, catching up on projects. It's a time in life where I'm not really sure what's coming next, but I have absolute and complete assurance that God is working everything out for my good. In fact, this song I just rediscovered and absolutely love.

I hope you all are having a lovely Christmas week!
