{ Happy Birthday to my Best Friend...}

I have a best friend named Crystal...

We have been best friends for 13+ years...

That means that we were best friends when dial up was the "in thing", cell phones weren't around and we spent all of our time shopping, doing our makeup and goofing around...

She is the most gorgeous friend ever...and is naturally beautiful and sweet...


Her birthday is today and I want her to know how much she means to me...

And also how OLD she :) ...


We don't hang out as much anymore....because we are both OLD...


But I still love her just as much...if not more...


She inspires me to be the best I can be...


She inspires me to be a free spirit with a heart full of love and kindness...


And inspires me to keep pushing forward...



I love my best friend...she is the best I could ever have...

Happy birthday Crystal!!

{ Haley & Zach | Engagement }

I owe a lot of my referral thanks to Ashley! She has given me many opportunities to photograph her little family which in turn has lead to many referrals! One of those being her sister, Haley.

Please correct me if there is a bigger fan out there but I am pretty sure that Ms. Haley is by far my biggest fan! I was so flattered when I met her and she told me that she "stalks" my blog. Makes me blush! It was super sweet to hear especially after one of my "droughts" where I was feeling a lack of creativity. Any photographer knows what I am referring too.

Haley and Zach are high school sweethearts! We all went to the same high school together so it was super fun to be able to photograph their engagement! Check out how adorable these two are and how much love they show...


Thank you again Zach & Haley, for letting me be apart of your new adventure! I cannot wait to see you again! Your wedding day will be one you will never forget...
