This week has taken it out of me. Shoots every single evening, Justice was in Georgia for a wedding, Emma started school, I cleaned my entire house multiple times everyday (#toddlers), and just pretty much spent everyday either working and improving our home somehow. For some reason when Justice leaves I get suuuuuper productive 😂. Anyway this weekend I’m going to be taking a break from everything and fully enjoying a couple days in Dallas with my best friend, @jordancingshoes! Send me food recs because truly all I care about in life is when I get to eat. 🐷

I had a backyard wedding.
We had a $0 budget.
Everything went wrong.
I was in tears 80% of the day.
Honestly I just look back and laugh. 😂 All the things I thought mattered- didn’t actually matter. (Although I am glad I chose for my ONE splurge to be wedding photos 😘) All you bride to be’s... I know this season of life is new and exciting and also stressful and sometimes it’s not even fun anymore. Try and keep in mind that the small things DO NOT MATTER. It doesn’t matter if your linens match your napkins. Or if your ring bearers match the groomsmen. Of if you can’t afford wedding favors- uh hello?! I think your free meal and drink is favor enough. (C‘mon you know I’m right)
•
As long as you walk away at the end of the day, married to your best friend. That’s all that matters.
That’s.
It. •

P.S. hopefully this post inspires you to throw caution and Pinterest expectations to the wind and elope in Thailand. Switzerland, Greece, (or anywhere really) and bring me with you. That was the basic goal of this post. 🙃

First day of FOURTH grade! I have 5 years left with Emagen until she is in HIGH SCHOOL. How is that even possible? I don't want to blink because every time I do, she's a year older, a foot taller, and a bit more full of sarcasm and wit. 😂
This morning she looked so beautiful, and so much like herself. She was disappointed I said no to wearing dad's toboggan & my sunglasses as accessories, but she looked like a cool surfer/skater chick nonetheless. 😎 This is going to be a GOOD year! ❤️

Your details can tell a story. Did you know that?
•
Do you play music? Was your relationship formed from the mutual love of music? Have some sheet music. Did you used to wear a certain perfume when you were first dating that every time you smell it, you’re immediately filled with nostalgia? Do you have a childhood heirloom piece that your grandma or mother passed down to you? A love note? •
I long to create these images of your details that act a little like that nostalgic smell of perfume. I want them to take you back. To tell a story. The details matter. Be intentional about them and you’ll be so thankful you were. ❤️
Special thanks to @allie.and.andie for helping create these beautiful images with your incredible talent and eye for detail! ❤️

Emagen Dawn, Beckham Jude, Natalie Jael... oh how my heart beats for you. ❤️ Last day of Summer for us before Emagen starts school tomorrow at a new school. Oh how I want to soak in their childhood like our skin soaks in the summer sun on evenings like this. ❤️
