With the convenience of my iPhone, I kind of stopped being intentional with my photographing. I can snap a photo whenever and with great ease. I am unbelievably grateful for this. But sometimes when things are easy, we forget to make them intentional. The other day, Ross and I were outside with just Hudson. That never happens and it didn't last long. While I was watching him explore and the sun glow around him, I thought to myself: now would be a great time to take pictures. I ran inside ...

The Great Ice Cream Social
My sophomore year of college, second semester, days after turning 20--I walked in late to art class and grabbed the first available stool. It happened to be next to a boy in a hat, so I didn't get a good look (without being weird and such), but I was pretty sure he was a cutie. Our class met twice a week for a few hours. This is basically how we dated. Do you remember that feeling? The butterflies and nerves? We both clearly liked each other, neither one of us brave enough to do anything ...
Five Things Friday 3
Apparently if I name every five things Friday post, Five Things Friday -- the internet gets confused, hence the 3. If you are dying to know what other five things you missed-- checked back here: Five Things Friday 1 and Five Things Friday 2. 1. I cut my hair! After not doing anything with it for a year or two and basically living with it in a knot on my head, I decided to cut it off. It doesn't fit in a ponytail, which might as well be my security blanket. I love it and don't regret it one ...
Five Things Friday
Holy smokes! It is Friday again. Didn't mean to leave you hanging for a whole week. Check out last weeks, the inaugural, Five Things Friday. 1. I've become obsessed with painting my nails. There are two parts to this. In the past I couldn't wait long enough for them to dry. I always ended up smudging them or waking up with sheet lines in them. My amazing readers/community on Facebook recommended this top coat* and it changed my nail-painting-life. You put it on wet nails, dries super fast ...
Five Things Friday
I've declared this the summer of me! Well that sounds incredibly selfish, but it is true. I am investing in myself--guilt free. 1. It started with the braces this spring. I mean, I need them, but I typically wouldn't put myself on the list. I cannot wait to have them off and have straight teeth. I cannot believe how much of a difference there is already. I know I will be happy I did it in the long-run. Lets just say I'm kind of in an awkward stage right now ;). 2. I've also started ...
