I wonder when Nils and his family moved into this house years ago if they ever imagined that he’d grow up to marry his dream girl Kayla in the backyard? Because that’s exactly what happened last month.

You’ve seen ‘em on the blog before, but I think we raised the bar with this new session.

Thanksgiving in August.
Quite perfect, really.

There’s just something…

I have several blog categories keeping me organized in this part of the world.
But do I slot this one into LOVEBIRDS or PERSONAL?

Wanna see something reeeeeal cute & fun & wanderlusty?

Ok, it’s Jas and Josie’s lil wedding vid to the rescue!

Cute parents make cute kids! Pretty obvious with a cursory scroll through Baby Winter’s newborn session.

My bet is that kind + sweet + humorous humans…

I have about 273 wonderful things to say about this day.
Here’s a couple.
(Plus a cute newly married couple. ;) )

You’re not gonna look at a parking ramp in the same way after a scroll through Parker + Liza’s blog.

Want to see some peak golden hour goodness?
Want to absorb some style tips, dressing for a couple’s session?
Want to spend some virtual time in the outdoors of the Midwest?

OK, YOU WANT TO CLICK THROUGH TO JD + ANGELA’S DREAMY SESSION THEN!

OH, DAVEY, YOU HUNNY!

A few months back, I started a gratitude journal. It’s a straightforward premise where you reflect on all that you’re thankful for, jotting it down on the daily to cultivate contentment in your life. It’s the mindset I brought to Jalissa and Zach’s wedding, and the one I’m about to carry over into the blog.

Ya ready?
(This is gonna be a good one, I can feel it.)

I AM THANKFUL FOR:
