So I have a very funny story about these photos. Usually my husband is the one behind the lens. We headed out to shoot this look before an early dinner. Before we shoot or any time he uses my camera, I always set up the lighting and settings for him. Even though I still have SO much to learn about my camera, I'm more comfortable messing with the settings than he is. After spending an insanely hot day getting these shots... well, what would have been these shots... we headed home only to find ... View Post
RELAXED SUMMER PLANS
It's been a moment since I've blogged, and it hasn't been for any reason that I've been enjoying taking a slower pace recently. Last summer was a busy one for my husband and I between traveling, Europe, work, and more. Summer is one of the best times in the Chicago, so we've been looking forward to spending more time in the city this season. Outside of going home to Florida next week, which I can't wait for, we haven't made many travel plans in hopes of enjoying the beautiful weather and ... View Post
WANDERLUST IN PARIS
As Vanessa Williams said, save the best for last. In reality, the task of narrowing down my photos from Paris was a daunting one that I kept putting off, so that's why I'm sharing them so much later than I planned (I traveled there last summer!) but it was my favorite stop on our Europe trip. (In case you missed it, check out London, Rome, Positono, and our adventures outside of Paris). When I say we walked everywhere, I mean we walked everywhere. We stayed in this amazing Airbnb in St ... View Post
BRIGHT RED FOR SPRING
First, I'm so overwhelmed by the outpouring of support I've felt after publishing my last post. Even though I sat with the mouse hovering over the publish button for a little bit, I'm so glad I shared my story. I know everyone says that this is an experience many women face, but I can't believe just how many of us have this tragedy in common. I hope that by sharing mine, it brought a little bit of hope and peace to others who may have struggled with a miscarriage who may experience one in the ... View Post
LOSING THE UNEXPECTED
I've been sitting on this post for a couple of days now. To try and pretend that I'm a closed-book would be laughable. I'm a very open person and my experience is not something I'm ashamed of or I find too painful to talk about - I just didn't want people to feel bad for me or tip-toe around me. But if there's one thing I learned throughout this process it's that other people's stories can help other people, and hopefully I can pay it forward to one girl who may go through a similar ...

Bonjour, France!
Bonjour from France! (I wish) In my second to last post from our summer Europe trip I'm sharing our time outside of Paris. I shared before that one of my childhood best friends was getting married in France and I was in the wedding, and the entire wedding party and attendees stayed at the Chateau de Chissay, located between Montrichard and Chenonceaux. The chateau was once a castle built under Charles the 7th for Pierre Bérard, chancellor of France, and both Charles the 7th and Louis the 11th ... View Post
