After our triple header weekend in October, we left our third wedding and drove straight to Lexington. We went to Big Spring Farm and spent the night. We slept in, did a few things to prep the blog posts for that week and then we packed the car and went on an adventure! CAMPING!! My parents have had an RV since I was born. Pop-ups, Trailers, Class-C’s, Class A’s… we’ve tried them all! We went camping when we were growing up instead of renting beach houses or going to Disneyland and I wouldn’t have ever wanted it to be any different.
Because Daddy still has a camper that our family uses several times a year, we asked if the four of us could use it and go on a little adventure! Of course Kevin James said yes and so off we went!! West Virginia here we come! We pulled out of the farm and the adventure began!! We were headed to Burning Rock…. that’s right….our final destination was FOUR WHEELER TRAILS!!!! It may have been cold and rainy but that didn’t keep us from having a blast! We rode four wheelers up and down the mountainside all day, had a campfire at night, made the most amazing dinner, played games and just relaxed in the middle of no where!! Some people would want to finish a triple header and just sleep for 4 days and that did sound nice…. but hanging out in the mountains with our best friends was the absolute BEST way to celebrate the end of our wedding season!!! :)
Jilly made a little video on her IPHONE of our trip and we love it! She’s AMAZING! Ps. If you love this.. you’ll love following her on INSTAGRAM!! Enjoy the video! …. Especially the ending… we worked REALLY hard on that part. :) Enjoy a little snapshot of our trip!!!
First pit-stop… we didn’t start our journey on the healthiest note!
We made a few stops along the way for some views! … And some jumping!
Our home!

If anyone wants to know how we took group photos…. this is how on the left! We also stuck a knife in the tree and rested the phone on it!
They were so proud of themselves! haha

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.
Life has a way of surprising us, doesn’t it? Over the last few months, I’ve been on a medical rollercoaster that I never saw coming.
If you’ve been following my journey, you know I’m always looking for ways to do life differently. Whether it’s in business, family, or personal growth, I’ve learned that stepping away from the norm often leads to the most profound transformations.
As a wedding photographer, having the right gear can make all the difference in capturing those precious moments. Over the years, I’ve transitioned from my trusty Canon 5D Mark V to the Canon R6, and along the way, I’ve curated a lineup of RF lenses that truly complements my shooting style.
In today’s world, the idea of a “healthy home” can feel overwhelming. With constant information about toxins, processed foods, and environmental risks, it’s easy to feel defeated before you even start. So I’m sharing our journey and the small, impactful steps we’ve taken towards a healthier home.
