Welcome to my workspace! I don’t really have a set place to work at home. I guess that’s kind of the beauty of a laptop- its mobile! I like having the ability to not be tied to a desk. I sit at a desk for 9 hours a day at my “9-5” anyway and regular… More Behind the scenes
Weddings, engagement photos, event photos. They can all be a little intimidating. You know you’re going to be the center focus and that there’s going to be a lot of your face (maybe even close ups!). It can be hard to feel confident, lets be honest we all have insecurities. Just keep in mind- you… More How to get beautiful skin for photos
Winter is hard. I find its especially hard because the days are so short. That combined with the cold and snow in the mountains make it hard to get outside and hike. I have to find other things that fill my soul in the winter. A lot of people don’t love Sunday’s. I get that.… More A Sunday for myself

It seriously feels like everyone is sick right now. I showed up to work on Monday and three different people were suddenly coughing and had sore throats. Unfortunately we have an awful sick day policy (they don’t exist) so most people don’t go home when they are sick. Thankfully, I haven’t gotten sick this year,… More 6 way to not get sick
I’m not a huge drinker. Going out and getting drunk just isn’t my idea of a good time. However- when the occasion calls I definitely enjoy a yummy and aesthetically pleasing drink. One of my favorite drinks is a lemon drop. But I wanted to be more….holiday-ey? If that makes sense? And when I think… More Festive New Years Drinks: Cranberry Lemon Drops
I LOVE morning!!! I would much rather wake up early than sleep in. I love the feeling of being awake before the world and I haven’t seen a sunrise I didn’t fall in love with. But I wasn’t always this way. I used to be the kind of person who would stay up until 3am… More 5 Tips to Wake Up Early(ier)
DISCLAIMER: 95% of the time I eat a plant based diet and do not eat dairy (lots of reasons). However, one of my favorite traditions is pizza night with my husband and I am not giving that up. We rarely have it, but it is a big bonding thing. Balance people; okay? There are tons… More How to have an impromptu date night
One of the few redeeming qualities of the short days of winter is all of the pretty lights. I’m obsessed with all the holiday lights and, thankfully, there are a bunch around here in Colorado Springs. My parents came to visit this past weekend which we used as an opportunity to check out the Electric… More Electric Light Safari
