While this election season has been anything but inspiring, I do find the ability to vote deeply meaningful. The chance for us as citizens to have such a direct say in our nation’s story is a right that many don’t have. Whenever I’m headed to the voting booth, I think about the people who paved the way for me to be able to drive up, walk in, and take my place. It’s humbling.
Read MoreSomeone messaged me on Instagram the other day and said, “I just have to ask, were you blessed with the best eyelashes ever or do you have a lash artist I need to know about.” Spoiler alert: it’s the latter. I started getting lash extensions after a eyelash curler mishap.
Read MoreAnyone else love a good sale? Here’s a quick round up of a few items on the Anthropologie sale (goes through this weekend). They’re doing an extra 50% off certain items including home. You can score amazing deals when they run promos like this, so I thought I would share what’s in my cart!
Read MoreMy friend Abby invited us over for a wine night out on her porch and it was just what the doctor ordered. More like, it was just what 2020 ordered. I think not being able to see people we love will continually be one of the hardest parts of quarantining and life afterwards. As humans, we crave and need connection with each other.
Read MoreHad the opportunity to shoot these lovely gals for Gina’s Boutique. There’s something magical about a lake town during Michigan summer. Dinners on patios, boats quietly bobbing in the water, people wandering the street, ice cream cone in hand. Picture perfect. This year felt a bit different, but the magic was still there.
Read MoreA long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, Doug’s Aunt showed him the Star Wars movies. He loves them to this day and I think that most of it is rooted in the sentimental memories of watching them with her.
Read MoreHad the honor of snapping photos of Stacie who owns Barre Code here in Grand Rapids. You know when people refer to people’s energy? How you can just sense if it’s good or bad? Her’s is 100% good. Even when you just meet her, there’s this realness that comes through that makes you immediately feel at ease.
Read MoreI have always found the words of It Is Well With My Soul to be extremely comforting. The phrase ‘peace like a river’ is such a rich visual of tranquility that only nature can bring. I thought of these lyrics when I was sitting at the lake the other night watching waves slowly crash into the sea wall.
Read MoreCorridor Coffee is a cozy spot on the Westside of GR. The new owners put up the most stunning black and floral wallpaper that I noticed while driving past one day. Ironically, I was asked to take photos there a couple weeks later and got to meet the fantastic owners.
Read More“Where is this summer going? It’s just flying.” I feel like this is the official summer mantra. Michigan summers are truly magical. We often joke that it’s why we put up with the brutal winters. I often think of this when we are taking walks at 9 pm and it’s still light out. It’s like I’m trying to capture the warmth, smells, light to use on cold winter days that feel endless.
