Season is for the gal who wants to dress like it matters. These ethically made dresses wear like a dream and are perfect for any season! Jessie Artigue, my pseudo big sister, is the creator of these beautiful dresses and I was so excited to work with her to shoot the new spring color, Lilac!

One night a couple weeks ago, Kyle woke up to me giggling in my sleep. The next morning over coffee he asked what I had been dreaming about. I think it takes the whole plant lady thing to a whole other level because I was dreaming that all my flowers were thriving and in full bloom and I was giddy. So giddy that I was actually giggling while unconscious. πŸ˜‚β € Weird? Or awesome? What do you think? πŸŒΊπŸŒ»πŸŒΈβ €
Weddings are a lot of work. Hard work. If you've been wondering if you should just run away an elope I've got 5 signs that an elopement or intimate wedding is right for you.β € β € Today we are talking about sign 1: You really want to savor every moment.β € β € Wedding days are often so full. Full of great things but full none the less. And even with a great coordinator to keep everyone on task and a photographer that guides you through the day, it can still feel like a rushed blur. At almost every wedding the bride and groom say, β€œthe day is going by so fast!β € β € If you don't want to go from one thing to the next and would rather have a more relaxed pace and elopement might be a better fit for you!β € β € Stay tuned next weeks for more signs and elopement is right for you!β € β € What are your thoughts on elopements or intimate weddings? Are you on board or did you choose the more traditional route?β € β € #cnpweddingtips
"But are you doing any passion projects?" I stopped for a moment. I knew what he probably meant - are you photographing anything just for fun - but there was also an underlying assumption to this question - that I am not passionate about the work I do and I just do it to get paid. That the work I do isn't important or meaningful. β € β € I am sure my friend had the best intentions but I spoke directly to the assumption:β € β € Photographing weddings is my passion. β € β € β € Guiding each of my couples through their wedding day so that they can be fully in the moment, being invited into some of the most meaningful moments of their lives and being trusted with capturing their memories, giving them images that will become family heirlooms and remind them of what's most important in life is meaningful work and brings me so much life and joy.β € β € β € I am so thankful that my work and passion are the same. Oh, and as far as what I photograph just for fun? Well, I have this thing for flowers... . Coordination: @goldenarroweventsanddesign Florist: @earthbabyflowers
No one would deny that Cory is a man's man no-nonsense kind of dude. But if you talk with him even for a little bit you would know that the ladies in his life, melt his heart. . When Shannon walked down the aisle at their wedding, he was a teary mess. His first dance with his mom and grandma made me cry and was one of my favorite parts of their wedding day. And we can't forget their pup Hazel, whom after seeing her for the first time had to bring her home and surprise Shannon. . It is such a joy to continue to tell their love story, see their beautiful home and hear about how married life has been this last year.β € . Congrats Shannon + Cory! You two mean the world to me :)
A date night idea for when you want to go out: Re-enact your first or favorite date. If your first date wasn't the best or impossible to recreate then pick one any date that you loved or have a redo of your first date and what you would have done differently! β € β € Make sure to take a photo and post it tagging #cnpdatenight so I can see and you can inspire others to connect with the person they love most! .
