I was talking to a dear friend the other day on the phone.  Every so often we call, chat, & catch up.  Because she is also in the wedding industry, she’s as close to being a co-worker as I get.

It means, we get each other, in a unique way that most people don’t.  This business we’re in is a strange one.  It’s not like other industries!  We’ve also been in the wedding world together since the start of both of our creative endeavors turned businesses.

As we both recounted our busy schedules this upcoming spring, she stopped and said, “can you imagine what us 10 years ago would have thought about this conversation!?”

“It’s a dream come true,” I replied.

Work life is immensely busy and I am gearing up for a crazy spring season.

(Seriously, I keep joking that maybe everyone could just check and make sure I make it to August, haha!)

But when I look ahead, and I look at the life I’ve built.. the one that let’s me juggle my babies on one hip, and an editing screen on the other, I just couldn’t be more grateful.

I’m grateful for the people who entrust me to preserve their moments as memories.

I’m grateful for the teams of incredibly creative and talented people that I get to collaborate with and work alongside.

I’m grateful for this little corner of the internet

where I get to write and share my work and the things that are tugging at my heart.

Thanks for being here <3

… and seriously, see you in August ;)

PS. Photos are from one of my favorite days this spring photographing for Kate of Floret & Vine.  She is just the kindest human and I loved getting to watch her thrive in her element.  Creative businesses are cool and amazing and just yay!
