I've been keeping journals since I was in the 3rd grade and I'm so glad to share some of my most intimate life moments with you here!  Here, you'll find inspirational and encouraging stories of me and other broken people like me. We are all jars of clay who have been afflicted in every way, but not crushed...struck down by not destroyed.  Here, you do NOT have the right to remain silent, so as you read, grab your favorite snack and drink and leave a comment...share YOUR story. I can't wait to connect with you in this beautiful safe space. 

welcome to my

journal!

MATT + KENDALL | EUROPA VILLAGE WINERY WEDDING | TEMECULA, CA

This wedding was incredibly special to me for so many reasons. First of all, it took place at a winery.

MR. RELTON + MRS. KAREN | A BOLD AND SPICY SEASONED LOVE SESSION

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said multiple times: Being around seasoned women just does something to my soul. Sitting at their feet…listening to their stories…absorbing their wisdom…I honestly can’t get enough of it. But being around seasoned couples? Couples like the Hyltons? Y’all…that ELEVATES. MY. ENTIRE. LIFE. These adorable lovebirds are my friend Felicia‘s parents. […]

JONATHAN + TAM | A CHIC AND GLAM NEW YORK CITY PROPOSAL + ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Tam, When Jonathan first told me he was planning to propose to you, I was speechless. There were no words to express the pure joy and excitement I felt. I knew eventually the day was going to come, but to actually KNOW the date, was something truly special. You’ve pretty much been there for every […]
