and I realize that once we have a family one day, we can’t necessarily travel the way we do now. Our schedules will have to subside and our days and evenings will be spent at home more often. But for right now, we’re young and we don’t have any kids…. except Bokeh Boy. Every time we have a long weekend or an all day event of some kind, he goes to one of his grandparent’s houses. We are SO thankful that they are only 50 minutes away and that they love him! There are some dogs that aren’t the easiest to care for and so we’re beyond thankful that our mom’s are constantly willing to take him.
They love it! Michael’s mom loves Bokeh boy so much that she’s getting a bichpoo of her own in a few weeks from Bokeh’s original parents! We’re SO excited!!
Right now Bokeh is probably at my parent’s house chasing barn kitties or stealing Lucky’s (my parent’s dog) treats! When he’s at Michael’s parent’s house, their kitty runs for her life and literally stays in the basement until he leaves!! He has a little too much energy for the cat! Even though they say they can’t wait to dog-sit him again, I know this it’s still a lot of work to keep him so often and so we just had to say a huge THANK YOU to our parents!! There is no way we could do this on our own and we’re so glad Bokeh doesn’t have to go to a kennel every weekend! AND we’re glad we don’t have to pay for a kennel!
Bokeh says thank you to all of his wonderful caregivers and we do too!! Thank you momma and Bobbi for taking such great care of our fur baby when we’re gone!! Thank you Bobbi and Mike and Aunt Sarah for taking him EVERYWHERE and keeping him entertained with new toys! And thank you to my momma for saving us the hassle and cost of grooming! Bokeh looks GOOD because of her!! We are so thankful for you all!!
Have you ever started a session, camera in hand, and suddenly felt stuck? Your couple is standing there, looking at you, waiting for direction… and your mind goes blank.
Have you ever tried to sit down with your spouse to talk about dreams, goals, and vision—only for it to turn into frustration or misalignment? If so, you’re not alone. Vision casting in marriage is hard because it brings up deeper fears, beliefs, and unspoken dynamics that many couples don’t even realize are at play.
Success—it’s a word we hear all the time. But what does it really mean? Is it about financial security? Status? Owning a dream home or taking extravagant vacations?
When you think about your business, do you see it as simply a job—or something more?
Today, I’m diving into an experience that was nothing like I anticipated: my digital detox in December. If you’ve ever considered taking a break from the noise of the online world, you might relate to my journey—the good, the surprising, and the, well, completely unplanned.
The wedding industry has faced unique challenges recently, with inflation affecting budgets and couples cutting costs. If you’re a wedding photographer feeling the pinch, don’t worry—2025 doesn’t have to be a slow year.
