I guess this is good bye to this beautiful building downtown!

This building was always a highlight of mine when going downtown to get camera gear at Stewarts Photo, photographing beautiful couples, or Fur Rondy activities! I always hoped that it would reopen and I would get the chance to go in and experience the beautiful artwork, Art Deco, and wonderful craftsmanship put into the details of this building.

At least this building lives on in the many beautiful art pieces and memories we were able to create with the building being a highlight.

Location: 4th Avenue Theater - Anchorage

Annalyn & Tito were absolutely perfect for a retro session in downtown Anchorage. The historic Fourth Avenue Theatre was the perfect location!

In honor of Mother's Day, I would like to raise a glass of Redbull (my drink of choice) to three beautiful moms in my life who are always there to pick me up when I am down, be my sounding board for my business or motherhood: My best friend, Jadra, my business buddy, Anita, and my friend Ellana. Without these wonderful and Godly women, I don't know where I would be!

Who are you celebrating today?

What never fails to brighten your day? For me, it’s always my two little girls. I can’t help but feel good when I get to wake up each morning to their snuggles and giggles before starting my day! I have waited for so long to become a Mom, so I am soaking up each beautiful moment!

So tell me what’s guaranteed to brighten yours?

Want to hear some great news? Every single day can be a fresh start. I am sure you knew that already, but really, take it to heart! Yesterday, I realized that I haven't posted on social media in SO LONG. But today? Today I am changing that and starting over by stepping out of my comfort zone and once again posting! What’s your ‘take 2’ today, friend?

Happy Nerd Day!

Let’s talk about making your wedding day your own. Whether it is little details or big ones, a wedding day should be a reflection of your relationship.

Siobhan and Josh were so much fun and totally embraced making their day their own by incorporating Star Wars details throughout the day. During one of our consultations they asked if they could bring their light sabers to their first look and we couldn’t be more overjoyed to answer YES!!!

To see who won the battle swipe to the last picture.

What ideas do you have to make your wedding day uniquely about as a couple?

Family Session

This beautiful family braved the cold (-15 degrees) to be photographed together for a special celebration. These little ones are getting a brother or sister! To say they are excited would be an understatement!

Any guesses on if it will be a boy or a girl?

Boy or girl, they are already incredibly loved! 💗

Infertility Week (April 18-24)

I would be remiss to let this week go by without acknowledging this week.

• 1 in 8 couples have trouble in this area.
• 10 to 15 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage.

I am one of those many people that had struggled to conceive for YEARS in shameful silence. Feeling like I was broken. A defective woman. Trying everything from natural family planning, hormone pills, injections, and even a failed IVF attempt which I nearly ended up dying from. It is devastating to those that long to be parents.

I want you to know that if you are in this situation, you are not alone. I am no longer silent and if you are struggling, know that you have someone to reach out to.

These are my miracle rainbow babies. My beautiful gifts from God! Proof that blessings can and do come in the darkest of days.

Has infertility effected you or someone you love?

5 Things About Me 💗

I haven’t done one of these in so long! So here are some things you may or may not know...

1. I love food, but struggle with coming up with things to cook.

2. I have been in some form or fashion in the wedding industry since I was a teenager. Everything from floral arranging, seamstress, to wedding planning. I absolutely LOVE IT!

3. I am a girl mom to 2 miracle babies following years of infertility. Family means the everything to me and the Mommy title is such an honor to hold.

4. My love language is Acts of Service. I love helping and serving my family, friends, and customers.

5. I love an adventure and would be awesome to do with my best friend.

Please introduce yourself in the comments! I want to get to know you too!
