hello postcards

HELLO!
I had the amazing oppurtunity to collaborate with Alexa Zurcher of Alexa Z Design (her adorable print shop)!

I got to take her family photos last fall and she has the cutest family and is honesty on of the sweetest people I know! I was thrilled when she was down to collab! I got the cutest goodies in the mail just a few days later and started scheming up ideas in my head of how I was going to take the pictures!

It loved taking pictures of her prints, it was something different than I usually do but SO MUCH FUN!

Here are some of the pictures we got and a discount code and link below to her shop if you make it that far;)!

**I included links below each picture to the item in her shop!

LIFE LATELY

hiiii friends!!

I'm over here loving summer + I just wanted to share a few current/recent happenings in my life that have made me HAPPY! I love having this blog + am so happy I've been posting on it lots more!

I turn 16 in 22 DAYS!!!

I am SO HAPPY! I'm one of the youngest in my grade so I haven't been able to drive while all my friends have! I'm finishing up drivers ed and will get to drive with the instructor after that is done then I can FINALLY get my license! I couldn't be happier!!!

(And, I currently have an obsession with swig - - - uh-oh this can't be good)

I need to try and not spend my money going out with friends... ughh it is a serious problem! Hahaha but I went with my friend Tique to Pizzeria Limone - thee cutest pizza place and their pizza is delicious! I've heard the pepperoni one is so good and am itching to go + try it!

I SHOT MY VERY FIRST WEDDING (RECEPTION) !!!!!!!!!

Although I just shot the reception this was HUGE for me and I couldn't be more happy that someone trusted me with the photos of their special day! And I got to work along side with my favorite Videographer! The reception was the cutest I have ever been to - they had a CEREAL BAR! How cute it that?! And a donut wall!!! Then to top it all off --- the best dance party + all of the bridesmaids and groomsmen JUMPED IN THE POOL at the end!! Needless to say it was SUCH A GOOD NIGHT!  I loved it so much and I CANNOT wait to hopefully get more opportunities to shoot weddings in the future!

Here are a few sneek peaks --- you can tell how good it was by just these few pictures!

I can't wait to see what this week has in store!

Happy Monday + thank you so much for reading!

SISTERS♡

Holy crap.

I never knew you could love someone so dang much.

My Kamryn Jo is so special to me and I do not know what I ever did without her.

I love my brothers and my parents so much, don't get me wrong but I feel that nothing can top the relationship I have with my favorite girl.

We are 13 years apart but she is my very best friend and I have no clue where in the world I'd be without my girl.

Here's a few pictures that got me to write a lil' appreciation post for my favorite girl because I never want to forget all the crazy + cute things this girl does

i'm freaking dead !!!

not the best quality picture but I always want to remember these things

I love you so much Kamryn Jo and I hope you never, ever forget that.

Xx - Your favorite sister who loves you more that words could ever describe
