MAJOR props to these two, who [carefully] braved the smoke with me to make some magic during their engagement session last night!! ✨👏🏼🍂
Kyia + Darian are sweet, creative, one-of-a-kind souls and I can’t *wait* to shoot their October wedding.
Which reminds me... HOW is October just on the horizon??

“I love that we get a NEW day. A new opportunity to move our lives in a positive direction. Let’s be unencumbered by yesterday’s nonsense... a fresh start. Take a deep breath, smile, and start again.”

I tried my hand at hot yoga this morning and my takeaways were...
1) I didn’t know my body could produce that much sweat (sorry, got sidetracked) and:
2) Being able to quiet your mind and focus on one thing at a time is a valuable skill, and:
3) Carve out time to be still, be calm, and actively pursue positivity — only *you* can control where your mind goes at default.
—> My favorite way to “think happy thoughts” is list all the ways Jesus has blessed me (guys, gratefulness is bigger than Thanksgiving Day!!). Next time you start going down a negative/sad rabbit hole, list things you can be deeply thankful for; good things that don’t change, no matter how you feel. 🌻

So yeah! Tomorrow is a great time to start that positive thinking, that leaving-yesterday’s-gunk-behind. ✌🏼

“Don’t let your ice cream melt while you’re

“Don’t let your ice cream melt while you’re counting someone else’s sprinkles.” 🍦✨
-
It is oh-so-easy to hop on social media and start playing the comparison game.
And it’s toxic.
-
You’ll never better yourself by wishing you could be in someone else’s shoes, or by trying to imitate somebody else’s growth, or by mentally talking yourself up by silently tearing someone else down.
You’ve only got so much mental energy... don’t waste it on wishing your life was DIFFERENT. Your house was different. Your finances, your travel abilities, your body, your gear, your eyelashes, your following, your clients, your closet.
-
You are YOU for a reason.
-
Jesus has you HERE for a reason. Don’t diminish this thought; He knows and does *best.*
Your talents and quirks are YOUR GIFTS. Use them right.
Your followers/clients/friends are YOUR PEOPLE. Love them hard.
-
It doesn’t matter if you’re on Instagram in a professional capacity or you hop on to share pictures of your cats... there’s plenty of stuff on here to steal your joy and make you feel less than (even if that’s NOT the object or intention).
If scrolling through your feed makes you feel self-conscious, discouraged, or worthless, (a) put the phone down and (b) next time, follow people who lift you up, make you laugh, make you think, encourage you, make you more Christlike, or make your life a better place.
-
Don’t let that ice cream melt, guys. Ice cream is precious and must be valued at all costs (and so are YOU!!). ✌🏼🍦

Happy, happy first anniversary (yesterday) to Jory

Happy, happy first anniversary (yesterday) to Jory + Jake! 👏🏼🍾
Here are a few snaps from one of my favorite weddings ever!! Their late-summer party was *beautiful.* Perfectly planned, full of laughter/emotions/friends/family, right on the shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene, AND... there was a popcorn bar.
What’s not to love?!

I grew up seeing the sun go down over the ocean from all the different coastlines of this country. As much as I miss the saltwater sunsets *every day*, the way the soft, purple light fades over the plains is breathtaking.
I remember hearing a quote once about “learning to love the skies we’re under,” and it’s stuck with me ever since. This life is one-of-a-kind; a treasure, no matter where you are.

The sky above you - this moment - will never happen again. 😘

oh hai, September ✨

I told Mason that it’s not allowed to be Fall until I summon it by lighting a fall candle... then when it was a *slight* bit nippy yesterday, I realized I had accidentally lit a spiced-pumpkin-something-or-other instead of my peach martini candle!?!
GUYS I accidentally summoned Fall. 😂🍁

LATTES ☕️💕🙌🏼 are my love language.

(but for real: my actual love language of quality time often translates directly into coffee dates, so where’s the lie??)
•
I love fun facts, soooo tell me... what’s your love language? 👇🏼
•
OH, IN OTHER NEWS: these two beautiful humans tied the knot in Vegas — despite Rona, despite rescheduling, despite LIFE — and I can’t wait to shoot at their BIG marriage celebration (and a mutual cheers to surviving 2020!) next summer!! 🍾✨🥰
