THE JOURNAL

I'm a hopeless romantic who finds great joy in capturing love, connection and beauty wherever I go.

About

Hi!

I can not express to you how excited I am that you are here! I am so humbled to have the opportunity to connect with SO many wonderful couples and families through my love of documenting life’s sweetest moments. If I’m not behind the lens you can find me with a bowl of mac n’ cheese or strolling up and down the aisles of Target with a cart full of items I don’t need.

But enough about me! I can’t wait to hear all about you!!

Leave me a message!

   

Instagram is kinda my thing…


It has been a busy busy week! Oh wait, its only Monday 🙃 • I know I’m not the only one dreaming of warm sunny days and I’m already counting down the days until our annual family beach trip! • 🌺It has been a busy busy week!

I’ve been avoiding this. 😞 My relationship with Instagram is more on again off again then Kourtney and Scott. It’s a total love hate relationship 😬 But if I’m being honest, lately it’s been mostly hate. I log in and immediately feel drained. When you’re a business owner it’s a constant battle of when do I post, how frequently do I need to hop on, what do I post, now I need to write an awesome caption all to beat instagrams ever changing algorithm. • • 🤦🏼‍♀️ • • Give me a break! I know all the rules and what I should be doing to boost engagement but I don’t WANT to. Some days I don’t want to show up on this wonderful app I love to hate. Don’t get me wrong, I know what social media can do for business and I am grateful for the tools it has given #smallbusinessowners like myself but I’m not willing to have a piece of me chipped away every time I log in. • • ❤️ • • ”does it spark joy?” Well not always but neither do pants but I still wear those SOMETIMES 🤷🏼‍♀️ Life’s about balance! Double tap if you’re anything like me struggling to find a healthy balance 🙋🏼‍♀️ cause girl, you are not in it alone! 🙃I’ve been avoiding this. 😞 My relationship with Instagram is more on again off again then Kourtney and Scott.

*pic brought to you by mama. Laughs brought to you by daddy* 😂 • Really though, I wish y’all could’ve seen Zack running in the background to get this dude to smile at the camera. I’m pretty sure he lost a few pounds from all the jumping around 🙈*pic brought to you by mama.

This blue eyed boy has kept this mama BUSY today! Between answering emails, updating contracts and chasing after him I’m EXHAUSTED 😬This blue eyed boy has kept this mama BUSY today! Between answering emails, updating contracts and chasing after him I’m EXHAUSTED 😬


To be honest, it’s exhausting. And every time you think you’ve got it figured out something changes on you. I guess that’s #motherhood for ya 🤷🏼‍♀️ ✨ Some days it’s easy and others it’s laundry upon laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, and non stop crying (and sometimes it’s not just the baby shedding a few tears 😓) ✨ “You shouldn’t complain some women are unable to have kids. You should count your blessings and be grateful for what you have.” 🙄 let’s #keepitreal Having kids is hard. Being a parent is hard. You’re responsible for this tiny human and sometimes you don’t have a clue what you’re doing. And guess what. THAT IS OKAY. 💪🏼 Let’s stop shaming moms because we don’t have it all together 24/7. Because we don’t have all the answers. Because we need help. Stop tearing each other down. Instead, let’s lift each other up. 💕 You’ve got this mama 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ✨ Let’s spread some positivity! Tag a mama friend who is doing a FANTASTIC job and let her know you’re rooting for her!To be honest, it’s exhausting. And every time you think you’ve got it figured out something changes on you.
