Let's make magic!

Do you have lots of favorite photos of your family just sitting on your computer, and wish you could have them displayed on a beautiful album on your coffee table instead? Did your photographer send you a link to a beautiful gallery of  your photos, but you never had the time to do anything with them besides share on social media? Have you thought to yourself, "I'd love to make an album, but I don't have time?"

Well, I am here to help! In the past couple months I've had the opportunity to work on photo albums for family and friends and LOVED creating them. So I wanted to extend this service to you.

As you might know, G and I made the move to South Florida a couple months ago, and most recently started working and earning income again so we can move into a place of our own! For now, I'm working part time hours, so to help us with our move, we hope you'd like to support us while I make you something you will love and cherish for years to come.

If you are interested in a photo album for your family, please message me on Facebook and lets make it happen!

The Best is Yet to Come

all the december things

from walking through Balboa Park for December Nights

To picking out our *not tiny* Christmas Tree the day after Thanksgiving!

To cookies and coffee and my most festive + favorite mug

And baby showers for lifelong friends

PLUS getting to see my family and friends right before Christmas! Thanks to my AMAZING man

annnd see snow after way too long!

to winter sunset walks on the coast, hand in hand

oh, and birthday getaways (also thanks to the most thoughtful person in my life! aka G) that turn out to be way more than planned or expected because God gives good gifts to his children

December has always been and continues to be my favorite time of year. There's so much joy, laughter and hope! I'm thankful for every breath, and can't wait to celebrate the birth of Jesus who gave us the ability to breath freely, knowing that no matter the season - the best is yet to come. We love you all! 

Happy Christmas Eve

P E A C E

This year, I had doubts.

Doubts that we'd have a Christmas card I'd actually like because the weeks went by and our plan A and plan B totally failed for getting them ready by the first week of December. From rainy weather to bad lighting ideas...we were struggling to get a decent photo. I'm not sure how it happened but 10 days before Christmas a peace came over me about the whole thing. I asked if our good friend Fabz could edit some options we took on our Canon self timer trials (sounds like a movie, doesn't it!?) and of course we loved how they came out!

Our little tree is a favorite part of our card, and has been quite the eye opener for me this year for several reasons. One, I realized I really don't love trees THAT small. Two, not having a big tree does not equal a terrible Christmas. Three, it's all gonna be ok because Jesus = Christmas! Duh! And four, G really likes having a little tree, of course. lol I'll be honest, I was in tears the night we got and decorated our tree because I felt so underwhelmed by it. I mean, I literally told G we needed to get a huge sign that read JESUS in bold letters so I could look at it and not feel sad when I cam home. 

LOLOL

Yes, I was really in my feelings that night! But G..my best love who knows how to calm me down when I'm being dramatic and pure crazy. I was so upset about the tree and let it take away the joy and meaning of Christmas just like that. So after a long talk and cuddles, I snapped out of it...eventually. But the best part is when I look at our tree now I don't only see a pretty tree, I see Jesus because it reminds me the reason we got the tree int he first place - to remind us of love coming down on Christmas and SAVING US. And that, that is the reason for our hope, joy and peace in season and out of season. 

And this is the reason we had to feature our little tree in our Christmas card this year. We love it! And we could not have done it in time without Artifact Uprising + 2 day shipping! :) Also, thanks again to our sweetest friend Fabz for editing these for us! She's the best. Check out her work HERE!

Outtakes that didn't make the card, but we love all the same --
