Another day off, don’t mind if I do. ☕️ 🖤✨ Have a good one, friends.
Sunday morning vibes. 🖤✨ * Hope you’re having a lovely lazy morning in the middle of this long weekend! I woke up to my 7 year old making scrambled eggs for us and hot coffee and it was kind of the best. * Happy Sunday!
After a busy week of work, I am excited to head into a weekend of rest and relaxation with my family. There is nothing sweeter than downtime with those I love, and I am ready for some pool time, makin’ food time, movie time, biking and popsicle time, reading, and sleeping in. * Have a wonderful, wonderful weekend, friends! Happy Friday!! ✨🖤
Yesterday, I got to spend time shooting a special session for @hiveindy, and a bunch of their past speakers and sponsors. Some of the gals opted for headshots, and it was such a joy to spend a few minutes with each of them in addition to the large group shots. * I was walking back to my van after the shoot just so grateful for my job and all the amazing women I have gotten to meet through my photography. No words can really describe it and my heart is so happy. * The world is FULL of amazing women going after their passions, building businesses, recognizing voids and filling them with meaningful organizations, and living their authentic lives. Wow! This is just a TINY slice of amazing women!!! I bet if you looked around, you would find so many women doing the same in your own communities too. * I’m tagging each of these gals, and then head over to Hive’s insta page and website to see even more ladies who aren’t in this photo grouping. Go give them a follow, support them, listen to them, make space for them to share their talents, and then find women in your own community to support as well. 🖤✨
I was telling someone this week that Landon and I are about to celebrate 10 years of being married in October, and it sounded weird hearing it out loud. (umm where did 10 years go?) I met him when I was only 17, and we’ve grown and changed together so much over the years. The summer before we got married, we rode mopeds through the Ohio and Indiana country roads near our houses, baked brownies and watched all of the Harry Potter movies, and did DIY projects for our wedding. And it was perfect. I’d still rather bake brownies, binge-watch movie series, and go exploring with no one but this guy, and life feels pretty awesome with him right now, even all these years later. * We’ll be getting some more photos taken next month, but I still love looking at the photos from our shoot with @hannahvoermans last fall in Minneapolis. 🖤
I think these two reminded me to let things be fun and easy, that communication is key in a relationship, and that there is something so beautiful about two individual people who love each other who become something amazing together. Grateful for a chance to hangout with them for a bit over the weekend. 🖤✨
One of the best things in the world is watching people live out their dreams, live authentically, and go after those things that make life truly vibrant. Too many times people sit back and stay in the safety of what is familiar instead of going after what makes their hearts light up. When you do come across someone living out there life with passion, it’s SO inspiring and life-giving. * Maybe you aren’t able to just up and quit a job you don’t particularly care for right now to start your dream business, or take that trip you have had on your bucket list for years, but maybe you can take some really small but meaningful steps to make life more in line with the dreams and goals you have. Maybe it’s as small as writing them down, or telling a friend, or buying something that reminds you life is beautiful and inspires you to live more out loud. Whatever it is, know that it’s never too late to live the life you are meant for, and you can take steps today to start living that way. * P.S. one of the people that inspires me is @tanorriastable for the way she brings her amazing talents to the world, shares honestly, and inspires others to do the same. And therein lies the magic: it’s a snowball effect of one person living into their best authentic life that inspires another and another and another....you get the idea. ✨🖤 * Who inspires you and what step can you take today to live out something that lights your heart up?
I am so grateful for these two and getting a chance to witness their wedding day. Sending some sneak peeks their way and I’m smiling so big right now. Also, hello Indiana, you were gorgeous last night. 😍
