October, November, AND December Recap

October, November, AND December Recap

Oh hi. When I fell off the blogging bandwagon, I'd try to start back up, and then I'd get overwhelmed, or the baby would wake up, and I'd just...put it off for the next day. My backlog is SO crazy, but I think I should start small, and maybe it'll be easier with a few behind the scenes photos?...

My Favorite Eastern Washington Wedding Venues

My Favorite Eastern Washington Wedding Venues

When you're planning a wedding in a more rural area - basically any area that isn't a major city center - it's hard to find information on venues and vendors online. You'll find listings for vendors in major cities - I'm looking at you Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia - on national websites, but it's hard...

I tried to count them up, but I can't remember how many times I hopped across the border while studying in Prague. It's like asking me to count how many times I've been to Portland. We've been to Munich a half a...

Our anniversary is this weekend, and the last week of August marked the start of about six straight weeks of crazy around here.

What to Wear for Family Photos

What to Wear for Family Photos

Last week, I talked about my fall mini sessions. I know a few people from my mailing list said they want to do photos, but are so overwhelmed with what to wear. I completely understand! We had our family photos done in July, and I was so overwhelmed by what to wear - and I'm the expert. I...
