This feels like a full circle moment.

This year I will be showing my work at The Music Box which is the same location where I had my storefront.

It means so much to me to be welcomed back as an artist.

So if you stop by and see me tear up, no you didn’t.

A week ago I traveled to Wisconsin for The Driftless Retreat with @unraveledacademy. This was my first time attending a photography retreat so I had no idea what to expect. A lot of nerves leading up to it, but those all quickly subsided. Everyone was so welcoming and inviting. What an amazing group of such talented people! I left this retreat feeling so inspired and ready to incorporate so many things in my work ahead.

Photos from our first session at a drive in theater led by the one and only @maggie.rechkemmer ❤️

@thehancocks5 your family is stunning and so wonderful!

Let me bless your feed with this copper cutie 🧡

She came to me with existing black lashes, we removed & replaced with something that balanced her natural features SO well!

Give it up for another amazing brown lash set 🤌🏼

These lashes were legit MADE for her!

Reflecting on a year for the books. I married my “roommate” (iykyk) last September in a groovy, 70s themed camping weekend on our property. Decorated with love and so much help from my mom, friends and family it made for a magical few days. A huge thank you to @thehancocksimagery for the sunkissed, beautiful images and seeing the outfits, the joy and the party in every ridiculous detail. 🥰🥰 we may need to make this annual thing- who’s in?! 💛🧡❤️🩷

Perfect birthday set for these two brothers who obviously love seeking out adventures, sleeping under the stars (or in a tent 😏) and sitting next to a warming bonfire roasting marshmallows and listening to the night sounds. It all sounds so nice and cozy especially in the fall! 🥰🍂🍁

Inspiration from the always amazing @humblebeebakeshop 💕💕💕
