Monday’s Mash-up The Aquarium + A McDaniel Engagement Shoot

Good morning sweet friends!! It’s MONDAY!  That means its a brand new week and it’s time for this weekend’s mash-up!  It’s also, LAUNCH WEEK! On Wednesday, this post will have a brand new look to it and I cannot wait!! This weekend was a complete whirlwind! This weekend included: a trip to the aquarium, two “living room” projects, and an engagement shoot! Phew! I can’t believe we also fit in three parties on top of that! WHAT?! I promise, this is not our normal life.  This weekend we just squeezed it all in!

Anyways, here’s this weekend’s mash-up:

  • Friday we took sweet Marla to the aquarium for her fourth birthday! It was so funny to watch her find her favorite fish! We also discovered that her favorite part was probably the escalator… anyways! It was all worth it!
  • We also went to Marla’s Paw Patrol themed birthday! Is this on Disney Channel?!
  • Saturday morning, I met up with Kyle and Erin! These two are such sweethearts and I can’t wait to share more from their session on the blog tomorrow!
  • Saturday we also went to a party with Morgan and photographed a sweet couple for the living room project!
  • Sunday was spent with another couple for the living room project! I also got to go to a fun party and spend time with my sweet mother-in-law! I always cherish our time together!
  • Also, on a completely separate note, I made quinoa for the first time, and I think I’m in love.  I put some feta cheese and avocado in that bad boy and man was it good!  And now I’m hungry…

And of course, here’s a peek at this weekend’s adventures in photos:

First up, the birthday girl!

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

THE JOURNAL

Lauren grew up spending her summers at the shore, and when she and Nick got together, she couldn't help but introduce him, too!  Their session in New Jersey was filled with gorgeous light, sweet smiles, and so much love & laughter.

Connor and Alli's wedding celebration was full of lush florals, gorgeous details, and a whole lot of joy.  Their first look was one of the most sacred moments I've witness on a wedding day... filled with so much delight and love!

One of my greatest inspirations comes from exploring and the California coast fulfills that wanderlust like nothing else.  Anytime I have rolling hills and oceanside views, I'm in heaven.

She's the ultimate hypewoman. I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
