Taking Stock // April

After three months of cold, April, you were a breath of fresh air. We began the month with the Washington, DC cherry blossoms and 70 degree weather and then I headed to Los Angeles for even more amazing 70 degree weather. I ended the month in New Jersey, which surprisingly also gave me 70 degree weather. It doesn’t get much better than that, folks. Yes, I know it’s already May, …

Los Angeles Views

Oh Los Angeles. You made me feel all kinds of feelings for you this week. I promise I love my precious DC, but the the sunshine and the palm trees. You temptress, you. I think my favorite thing about LA was the street art everywhere. And the fact that there was always an amazing beach near by. And architecture like this. That also happened to be a set for several movies. …

The Wilder Family – Maryland Lifestyle Family Photography

On a snowy March morning that looked more like a scene from a classic Christmas movie than the first day of spring, I snuggled up by the fire in the warm home of the Wilder family. Though their home was beautifully decorated and a fire was cracking in the hearth, it was obvious that the true beauty and warmth in their home came from their genuine love for each other. …

The Bellfry

“Here’s what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage.

Who Run the World?

In honor of International Women’s Day I wanted to take a minute to honor all of the incredible women who I’ve had the privilege of meeting over the past few years through this blessing of a job that I have. Here’s to the girls who jumped off of the back of a truck to escape Boko Haram. Here’s to the single mom in North Carolina who worked her and her children …

10 Tips on Working from a Coffee Shop

In the past year or so of living the ‘freelance life’ by finding jobs by visiting this go URL, I have learned a few things from many places. One of the most memorable moments was when I realised I am learning something while I was working at a coffee shop. The etiquette, if you will. You see, when you spend a lot of your days working from home, you can …

Taking Stock // February

Okay. You caught me. It’s March now and I am posting about February, but to be fair I wrote this is February, so it’s all good. Speaking of February, I hate that extra ‘r” they threw in there. I have to phonetically say “feb-ru-ary” in my brain every time I spell it. Ugh. Now that we’ve moved on from that drama, here’s how February looked for us. Making : Excuses about …

Winter. As seen by the iphone.

As a girl who grew up in the arctic tundra, I mean Michigan, I have a complicated relationship with winter. On one hand I am really sick of the air hurting my face every time I open my front door, but on the other hand, there are few things greater than sitting under a blanket with a good book as snow falls outside. A few weeks ago I was pretty …
