One of the best parts of the day with my wedding couples is when we get to step away for a few photos in the evening, just them with me documenting. It’s quiet, meaningful, and they get a chance to take a breather together. * I remember my own wedding and how it flew by so fast, in a blur, and the quiet moments I got to spend with just Landon and our photographers. Some of my favorite photos are from those moments, and those beautiful spots of the day are frozen in my mind. * At the end of the day, your wedding is about you, and you should be able to take some time and savor it, slow it down, let the moments wash over you so you can always remember them. 🖤 * Did you get to sneak away from your reception for a bit or steal some quiet time with just you and your someone?
Settling into this weekend nicely and I love how many unplanned moments we have lined up! 😍 I second shot a wedding yesterday and it was really awesome, and now I am hanging out with my boys today and tomorrow. Some of the generally planned moments on the agenda will be some bike rides, coffee, dad’s day brunch, movies in bed, and homemade dinners. * Whatever you’re up to this weekend, I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing time. 🖤 Happy Weekend!
In just a few weeks, we’ll be back on this lovely beach in Hilton Head with Landon’s side of the family. It’s probably one of the most relaxing family vacation spots Landon and I have taken the boys to, and this will be our 4th time going. It’s so peaceful, sunny, and just amazing. Last year, we all went out one night and took some photos, and they are some of my favorite ones I have ever shot. This is Landon’s brother and our sister-in-law, and they made for some fun shots. 🖤 * Oh, beautiful beach vacation, I can’t wait for you so soon! 😍 🏝 🌊 ☀️ * Where do you like to vacation with family? I would love to hear!
I remember reading an article about how many hugs/points of touch humans need to survive, feel loved, and connected. I think it was something like 12 per day or so. 😳 Of course I get some hugs and kisses in from my kiddos, but I remember thinking how Landon and I *never* hug that much in a day! 😂 So now, while I am not a big physical touch person for the most part, I do try to get some hugs in because it’s apparently so good for ones health and sense of well-being. * And isn’t that so beautiful? Something as simple as hugging and connecting with another human has been wired into our biology for our benefit. That’s pretty amazing. Are you a big hugger? I’m working on it, but I do know really good huggers who give some really awesome ones, and I think I will take some notes from them. So who are you going to hug today, friend? 😍🤗
Two more days of school for my boys and then it’s officially summer break! I am working on my last wedding from May, an engagement session, a family session, then I will just have a few summer projects to work on and enjoy some down time! This has been my busiest year yet, and I am continually grateful for each and every moment of work and every moment of break in between. Summer, I’m comin’ for ya.🖤
Be yourself. Don’t bother with what they are doing, saying, or being. Just be you, follow your own inclinations, passions, and intuition, and let life be easy. * Practice gratitude, feel how you want things to be, love well, rest often, laugh a lot. Eat the food you love, taste it and enjoy every bite, linger around the table and let conversation flow. Dance to the music, sing that song you know so well, turn up the volume. * Wear the damn swimsuit, jump in the water, let your body know you love it and let the sun warm your skin. Tell a friend how much they mean to you, kiss your someone and hold them close for a bit, let your little one snuggle you. * Make the call you have been putting off, take the plunge toward the dream you have only been silently dreaming about, put yourself out into this big beautiful world and LIVE. * Life is too short to waste any moment. Do the things that light you up and watch how amazing life can be. 🖤 Photo by @hannahvoermans
Happy Sunday, friends! After a big day yesterday having a birthday party for our son Johann who just turned 5, we are relaxing and having some down time today. (Cue hellastrong coffee and leftover cupcakes. 🤗) * I love lazy weekend days so much, and since it’s currently raining outside, it feels just about right to hangout and watch movies in our pjs. * Whatever you’re up to today, I hope it’s a beautiful day as you prepare to get ready for another week! 🖤✨
Today I am delivering Danny and Kelly’s wedding gallery!! 😍 These two were just incredible, and I loved their day so much. One of the most warm-hearted celebrations, surrounded by their friends and family - it put a smile on my face the whole time. * The venue, @thebarninzionsville, made for some incredibly gorgeous backdrops, and I loved all of the lush greens that helped the photos pop. Seriously loved working at this location! * Thankful for the chance to document this amazing day for these amazing people. 🖤✨
