our entire lives changed in April when we got the call from the agency that a birth mom wanted to meet us. It was in that moment that I knew this story was meant to be ours. Two and a half months later we finally welcomed our baby girl into the world (this past Thursday, [...]

Photo booths, beware.
I will find you and I will raise my glass, blow kisses, squish faces, attempt to look cross-eyed, laugh and yell. I will have my picture made with my best friends, my husband’s best friend, my parents and even a few unsuspecting strangers. I will act like a total fool and when 10 minutes has [...]
knock, knock …
…anybody home?
Why hello, world! I am in fact here and, I’ve learned something terribly tragic. When my husband is out of town I have zero balance in my life.
He’s been gone for 2 weeks.
(I feel like I can finally write that now that he’s only hours from being home. (didn’t want any boogie men showing [...]
This isn’t me. This is.
I’m sitting in our living room. I just tackled a whole army of emails and I’m feeling most proud of myself. The husband is on his way home with the ingredients to make mojitos. We’re growing herbs now (because we’re so green) and we have fresh mint leaves begging for some liquid to swim around [...]

It is such a huge day today. I didn’t quite picture it like this, but nevertheless here’s how it’s playing out:
I’m sitting in a Bruegger’s Bagels in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Corey is interviewing here and I’m typing frantically knowing that he’s going to call very soon to tell me to come pick him up. [...]
It’s Easter.
Which is a beautiful thing. First thing this morning we hooked up Corey’s iPhone to our speakers in the bathroom and blasted out our favorite Easter song. Keith Green, The Easter Song. 1977.
“Hear the bells ringing, they’re singing Christ has risen from the dead! He is rizzzen! Hallelujah! He is rizzzen! Hallelujah! He is rizzzzen [...]

This industry continues to blow me away. I am a photographer by profession because I love capturing the immense love and beauty that exists in our world. Having, in addition, incredible people that exist to support and teach and [...]
Photography Friday: poofy hair & the best Google search I’ve ever made.
My husband thinks I have dreadful hair. Okay, he never actually says it’s dreadful with his words, but he does with his hands. Every time we’re sitting on the couch together or he passes me in the house he’ll pat it. Like a Chia pet. He says he just thinks it’s a bit frizzy and [...]
@503Jess It’s a comic post. Save me!
Holy cow.
I signed up for Twitter. Again. Third time. Ridiculous, right?
It’s just that the times before I tried to think of something amazing to say and it never came and then all I saw were #’s and RT’s and @’s and I had no idea what that Twitter language was all about.
But, then - again [...]
