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!

STEPHANIE + BRANDON| A LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE WEDDING

From the moment I met them, I knew Stephanie and Brandon’s wedding was going to be something REALLY special.

GETTING THE PRECIOUS HOME | SACHEL SAMONE | WEDDING WEDNESDAYS | TEAM HARRIS | ALASKA LOVE PHOTOGRAPHER

To say I had fun celebrating our birthdays and just being there is SUCH an understatement. Quite honestly, and understandably so, traveling 11-14 hours across country makes me a little tired, but let me tell you […]

BEAUTY PORTRAITS FOR DIONNE | VIRGINIA BEACH, VA
