The last days of summer are always some of the best – wildflowers making their last blooms, golden sunlight filtering through the trees, and cheeks warm and rosy from exploring outdoors. This sweet family loves to be outside – hiking and biking, and I loved soaking up the sun and playing in the park with […]

With the kids now both in school, I’m getting more time to go through our summer pictures and adventures. One of the highlights of our summer was spending a week in Florida on Anna Maria Island. This tiny little island stole a piece of my heart. The shops and restaurants are super cute, and we […]

My kids are now at the age where they are starting to feel more comfortable in water and even starting to swim. This summer, it has been so fun seeing their courage and excitement grow as they move from splashing around in the shallow area to swimming underwater in the deeper areas. I decided to […]

We had a slow start to spring here in Dayton, Ohio, but it was worth the wait when the flowers and trees started to bloom. And the rows and rows of apple blossoms at Stevens Bakery & Orchard in Springfield, Ohio were absolutely beautiful and the perfect setting for a photo session. The Anthonys had […]

Last February I traveled to Amelia Island to attend the Click Away conference with Clickin Moms. It was beyond amazing to learn from various speakers, meet up with friends I’ve gotten to know through the last few years, and soak up the beautiful Florida beach! This sunset beach session was definitely one of the highlights. […]
