Wishing the happiest of birthdays to the gorgeous and spectacular @ourshieldmaiden . Emilee, you are so incredibly talented and creative, an absolute joy to be around and it's an honor to get to watch the light you bring into every space you encounter. From the yarn you wind to the American Girl dolls you re-home after giving makeover to the incredible sewing you do- everything you create is absolutely magical. Cheers to you, I hope this day leads to a year as beautiful as you are 💖

The beautiful thing about wedding photographs is that they get older with you ✦
⠀
Another year of marriage, another year further from the day these were made, and somehow, that only makes them more precious. Happy anniversary, Anika & Chris!! What a gift to have been there at the beginning of this chapter.

Every caption I’ve tried to write to sum up 2025 has been crap, so let’s just say this: 2025 was amazing and sucked in equal measures, but I’m rich in the opportunities I had this past year, as well as the friendships I’m continuing to carry forward into 2026🥹💖🥂

Finally got to do a collab with all my talented friends and I perhaps cheated a bit on the theme😅 We all picked characters that we loved for nostalgic holiday reasons and I had to go with Esther. “Meet Me in St. Louis” isn’t *totally* a holiday movie, but I think everyone that loves it can agree that it’s an honorary holiday movie.

This wasn’t intentional, but I think choosing to cosplay Esther during the “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” scene was kind of a perfect parallel to how this holiday season feels. The song was written during WWII and I can’t help but think a majority of people must’ve been feeling pretty similar then to how we feel now. Hopeless. Tired. Sad.

But also, this is actually a coping mechanism of mine—to think back on times like that when people must’ve felt like the world was ending, and knowing they made it through. So I’m holding this song and this movie extra close to me this holiday season❤️

“what’s a tree without a star?” – Miss Piggy, but also probably Minnie Mouse

i always love seeing what new outfits the sensational six (plus chipmunks) are going to get into for the holidays @disneyparks. this photo is from a few seasons ago when i made an outfit to match Queen Minnie! a slightly different form of cosplay, i’d say. 😉

everyone in this group brought the sparkle, as they always do – look how magical and stunning my friends are! so many sweet, nostalgic memories of the past.

from all of us to you and yours, happy holidays and festive season however and whatever you celebrate. 🤍✨
