Thank you sweet baby Jesus for randomizers. I went back through all of the entries last night and I feel so blessed. I’m so thankful for each one of you. You’re stories were touching and your words were soooo kind and encouraging. There were people who found this on Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo, even Pinterest. Thank […]

“…you’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So… get on your way!” It’s launch day!! Oh my gosh I’m so excited. When I first started photography I dreamt of a day that I could hire a designer to build me a custom site and logo. And here we are! […]

AH!!!!  This last year and a half has been a crazy journey. With Fight Club and working with my business coach turned dad, Jeff Jochum, on breaking through my jawbreaker shell to discover, accept, own, love & celebrate the core of me. Who I am. What I stand for. What fulfills me. You see as […]

I stand in the way of myself. It’s a simple as that. If I think something can’t happen, it won’t. And every time I tell myself I can’t do something I’m holding myself back. I’m standing in the way. Of me. Looking back I’ve done this over and over and over.  This little thought that we […]

Today in a conversation with a mentor I wrote down the following statement. I believe failure isn’t something to be feared. Don’t think about it, just jump.

I stopped at Target this morning for something I needed. What it was I couldn’t remember. But I entered the danger zone thinking I’d figure it out as I walked through the store. Who knows why I thought that, it’s Target. I left with random other things. A few I realized I needed but they […]

This week has been exhausting. I’m beat. It’s been successful but I’m beat. I convinced myself I’m so exhausted cause it’s the first week of wedding season. One wedding down 15 more to go in this summer stretch. This summer stretch is going to challenge me, and I’m stoked for the challenge. 16 weddings in […]

Last Monday I was exhausted. EXHAUSTED. Decided the best only thing to do was take the day off and rest before taking off on a litte roadtrip vacation on Tuesday. Set the autoresponder on my email and man was it satisfying. Giving myself permission to not check it constantly while away. I’d be lying if I […]

It’s been almost 1 month since I last blogged. I’ll be honest I didn’t realize it had been that long until I just looked a second ago.  I started looking at my blog and what I was writing. I hated it. What was I trying to accomplish with this blog, what’s the point?! I was […]
