authenticity: lately
I've been feeling a little down lately, so much to be sad about in the world: Kermit Gosnell and the horrible things he did. Don't even google him if you haven't heard about it... just know that there are truly... Continue reading

You look great! I am so glad things are going well for you. For a minute I thought you might be making an announcement of some sort! :)

one word wednesday // growth
March 2012 // May 2013 Growth . . . - my hair is longer. - the mid-section muffin is rounder. I affectionately refer to it as my "Nevada weight". - the craving / desire to create and share time with others is fuller. Looks like it's time to be the hostess. - my heart is bigger. I find myse...

This means so much coming from someone I admire greatly! Thank you, Beth.

recent work favorites
September will mark three years of taking photos at The Magazine. I am continually grateful, everyday, that I get to do something that I enjoy. Growing up I always assumed I would hate my job because most people I knew disliked what they did. I had pretty low expectations. I am so glad things tu...

Yay! I get mine threaded and I love it. So glad Scott was brave (and man enough!!!) to try it :)

101 in 1001 // try eyebrow threading
This is what Scott and I did for our date last week I was thoroughly entertained by the small scream -- "ahh!" -- that came from Scott when the threading began. Haha. As for me, I loved it! The process was not painful, in my opinion. In fact, in a weird way I rather liked the ripping feeli...
Yes, I have screen or select screen shot before. I think I am okay if someone is doing that as long as they a) aren't printing the photos or b) being creepy. Ultimately we live in a broken world so things will happen, but as far as people having a file on their desktop of ideas/crafts they want to do I don't mind if my photo is in it.

protecting images on the web, my 2 cents
I think everyone has a system that works for them, If you have any tips, I'd love for you to share them with me in the comments! Basically I never protected my images until recently. I felt like, who would want to steal them and also who cares? Then I wised up and realized I needed to be educat...
Absolutely. I can't understand why people steal.
That's a great point about pinning. I know Pinterest is working to fix their linking issues and ultimately I would really like it if all images linked directly to their original posts (not posts where they are linked again.).

Thanks! :) I love the rock-a-billy look and honestly Glam Doll Donuts and their who persona tipped me off to doing a shower like this for Joy.

Joy's rock-a-billy polka-dot bridal shower
It's a mouthful, but a fun mouthful. Joy has been a dear friend of mine since college years and I was so excited when she got engaged last November. Flash forward and we are just a month away from her big day! Maybe I'm a bit biased because I'm in the wedding, but I'm really looking forward t...
Thank you! I've thought about it, but it's so much more fun to plan parties for people you know! :)

How nice that you were on vacation on the anniversary of meeting on another :) Well, sometimes in life things just aren't what we expect! I love coconut water and milk, but it's totally an acquired taste. You got your photo op though, and well all know that's the most important thing. I love your hat :)

remember the time we drank from a coconut in kauai?
This is a memory that I'm sure Scott and I will pull out of the vault from time to time over our marriage. And the answer to this question will always be, "Ya. That was not so awesome." Now, the image of drinking from a coconut . . . doesn't that just seem like the picture of paradise? I hav...
How fun! I would of been all smiles, too :) Didn't you have a scrapbook layout published years ago in CK that featured you/family zip lining?! Maybe I am thinking of someone else!

zip-line in kauai
Long before this Kauai trip -- in fact, way back on our last Maui trip -- I decided that the next time we came to Hawaii I needed to go zip-lining. I even added it to my 101 in 1001 list -- #72. After a rainy Sunday, and more rain in the forecast for Monday we realized that if we wanted to do t...
It looks stunning, Shannon! What a pretty course that is :) Can't believe there's such a think as a parmate... only in Vegas I guess!

princeville golf course
This, an America's Top 100 Golf Course, sat right next to our resort in Kauai. Just gorgeous. On our 3rd rainy day we decided that it was time to play golf. Well, Scott played golf. And I rode along in the cart (for an extra $25 fee) acting as photographer, providing company, and enjoyin...
So glad the tomatoes took off, you deserved it :) I'm sorry you have to go through being separated from Paul. Love your perspective and how you are just doing it anyway :)

making me happy.
I spent the beginning of the week in funk. Like a normal funk, it was totally exhausting and frustrating. Unlike a normal funk, I knew exactly what the issue was. I miss Paul. And that is an understatement. I physically hurt for Paul. Before deployments entered our lives, I am not sure I full...

Baby M
I don't do many portraits these days, that's okay. I love trying my hand at more commerical work, but something about newborns always calls me back. Who can resist a fresh baby? They are just too precious. I met Baby M last week bright and early at 730am for a photo shoot. Her parents were game...
Thanks, Shannon! The colors were my favorite part of picking out fabric :)

My neighbor Katie and I are kindred spirits. Not only are we Katherines, but we also share the same last initial. Surely a divine appointment that she moved into the same building. In early February she asked if I wanted to take a beginning quilting class with her at Crafty Planet. {Shots fr...
I'm surprised to hear that. The desert is really something :)

arizona part one: the landscape
I just got back from Arizona for Karen and Conor's wedding. I had the time of my life. Arizona is just stunning and is calling me back. There is something magical about the desert. I love Minnesota, but I came home Sunday evening feeling homesick for Arizona. How is that even possible? The firs...
I will be sure to tell him :) Yes, the military "smiles" crack me up. I never knew you date a Marine, neat. The necklace is actually two, both borrowed from a friend.

arizona part three: the wedding
The reason for this whole trip was to watch the union of Conor and Karen. It was such a treat. I happened to be visiting Karen in Northern Ireland the weekend she met Conor, so it has been fun to watch them come full circle. What a great couple they are! The nuptials and reception were held a...
