I know we have all heard it this year. Where did the time go?! I swear, 2022 was the fastest year EVER. There were good times, really good times, and then some not so great times. Like every year, I feel very blessed to live the life I do. It comes with it’s ups and […]
Oh the whole neighborhood was excited to hear of the arrival of baby K! New parents are so sweet to watch and photograph. It reminds me of when I had my first child. Not knowing if I was doing anything right. When in reality, as long as they are fed, happy, loved and cared for, […]

At the end of my VERY long vacation in June, I ended up in southern Minnesota for my first wedding of the year. Morgan and I met last summer about this wedding and I have been looking forward to it for months. It was well worth the travel back to my old stomping grounds. Ceremony […]
