I love to dream in fairytales, but even fairytales have bumps in the road. I have a hard time assuming that Cinderella never disagreed with Prince Charming over how to run that kingdom. It’s just the part of the story you don’t always hear. Kind of like happily ever after love. We hear the newlyweds who […]

We all have to deal with it. A husband who never puts his shoes away, no matter how many times you bug him. A wife who leaves dirty dishes in the sink for days. It doesn’t take long into your marriage to start seeing those annoying little things start to pop up that you never […]

With Courtney’s cream and mist blue winter-inspired wedding coming up, a classy winter bridal session was the perfect way to start the celebration!

Last week I talked about finding something you enjoy in the activities your wife (or soon to be wife) does.  Even if you don’t love the activity itself, try to find something in that activity that you can love.  Or learn to love. So this week I wanted to talk about finding and doing something […]

She loves Yoga.  But you think it’s just silly. She loves chick flicks.  But they make you want to fall asleep. She loves going thrift shopping.  But you get bored after 2 minutes. She loves to travel, but all old houses look the same to you. Does this sound familiar? There are some couples that […]

When I dream in fairy tales, they almost always involve the delicate tinkling of vintage china pieces. China tea cups and saucers with soft pink rosebuds, plates rimmed with the sweetest gold, and weighty silver forks. My fairytales always have vintage china because they always involve coffee and cake. ;) Today we’re sharing some tips on using […]

Protect your spouse at all times and in all places.” ~Dave Willis In a culture where social media is used as place to vent our feelings, this is something to take seriously! In a moment of anger or resentment, giving just […]

The evening of their engagement session was actually the first time we got to meet Caroline and Ryan. They live down in Auburn, so coffee dates are a little bit harder! :) When they walked up and Caroline gave me a big hug, I knew our friendship was pretty much guaranteed. And I was right. […]

Courtney and Chris’ love story meanders its way back to high school. Oh, those glorious and memorable years of high school! With neighboring lockers, Chris couldn’t help but notice the blonde beauty with a kind and vivid personality. After a few unsuccessful attempts to convince Courtney to go out with him (11 to be exact), […]

There’s so much I could say about these two and the amazing people they are that I really don’t even know how to start! Derek and Olivia completely won our hearts from our very first meeting over coffee, and every session and hangout time we’ve had with them has just made them more and more […]
