• Do you believe that a failure to plan is a plan to fail? I’ll admit, I’m kind of a scatterbrained at times. Especially lately. But I am trying to be consistent in planning out my weeks. And making sure to dream. You may have seen my stories on Sundays or Mondays about my plan for the week. That’s me trying to be consistent and not overload my plate with stuff that never full gets finished. As sat down to plan this week’s schedule, there is a few things I am most excited about. Here’s what I’m most excited to see on my list! 👩🏻‍💻 Finishing a fabulous new site for an amazing couple and their beauty products 💡Setting dedicated time to write down some ideas that I have been thinking about and possibly deciding on what is next 😃 Having a coaching call with @rethanichole. I am so excited about this call and cannot wait!! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Taking time to purposely and intentionally be with my family How are your week’s plans shaping up? Tell me one thing you are excited about this week. #intentionallife #weeeklyplanning #makingmemories #selfcare #familyphotography #smallbusinessbrandphotography  #auburnca

  • I never thought we would be celebrating the 4th of July at home without friends and family over and no fireworks to close out the night. Even though it looks a little different than usual, it was fun barbecuing some gourmet hamburgers, watch the kids splash around in the little pool, and enjoy some yummy fruit basket cake. This year is definitely an Independence Day we won’t soon forget! I am so happy to be healthy and home with my family. What about you friend, how are you celebrating the 4th of July? #independenceday #Fourthofjuly #makingmemories #stayinghome #familyphotography #smallbusinessbrandphotography  #auburnca

  • Happy July!!! Can you believe we are on the 2nd half of the year? Praying the second half is better than the first. Today I want to share about a special family business whose treats I photographed today. Many years ago, Travis and I headed to meet our premarital counselors and had no idea we would be meeting a very special couple and their adorable children. That night we all bonded and they will be forever in our lives. They are so very dear to us. That first night Marc and Lori invited us in and we all hit it off perfectly. Later they were in our wedding, they are all 4 of our kids’ godparents, our 3rd son has Marc’s first name as his middle name, and I have had the wonderful honor of capturing some huge moments in their lives. So what does this have to do with the yummy treats in my photo? Well…I am getting there. When we first met Marc, Lori and the kids they were just reopening their family dairy and raising calves. We have watched Duivenvoorden Farms grow and transform. It has been quite the journey. Their farm is a 100% grass fed raw milk dairy, and their milk is beyond delicious. A few years ago, Lori added on Milk House Cookies to the mix. Her keto and non keto treats are so delicious! The treats pictured are her Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies and Keto S’mores Bar. Up until recently we have only been able to get their milk and cookies when we are at the farm in Cottonwood, CA. But not anymore!!! We can now get @duivenvoordenfarms milk and @milkhousecookies right here in @auburnca! I was so excited to find out I could get Lori’s cookies here in town that I had to run and get some. And of course take some photos first. :) If you are an Auburn local, check out @sunrisenaturalfoods and Holiday Market in north Auburn for their milk, or @the_auburn_bodega for their milk and cookies. If you aren’t local and want to check them out either visit them on IG or click the link in my bio. What is your favorite type of cookie? Do you like a glass of milk with your cookie? #duivenvoordenfarms #milkhousecookies #milkandcookies #familyownedbusiness #smallBusiness #cottonwoodca #sharethelove

  • My daughter loves picking random assortments of wildflowers (or weeds) and bringing them into the house for us. She also loves taking any opportunity to stop and smell the flowers while we are out and about. She can spot flowers a mile away. I envision her having a beautiful flower garden one day at her own home. . She loves seeing me smile when she brings me flowers. It is so precious how she lights up. That is the same youthful joy I want to give to my clients. I love to remember the little things they share with me. From favorite things they love about their kids, their favorite drink or treat, favorite book or even a favorite memory. I absolutely love helping others, caring for others, remembering the little things, and giving gifts. I want my clients to know just how much I treasure them. And seeing the look on their faces or hearing their kind words brings me just as much joy as the sweet bouquet of flowers Rilynn collects when outside. It’s the little things in life that make the biggest difference, don’t you agree, friend? . What little thing has made a big difference in your life lately? . #youthfulspirit #itsthelittlethings #mindsetshift #sharelove #encouragement #chooseyourfeeelings #auburnca

  • How are you feeling today? Before you give the generic “I’m fine” answer, remember that you have the ability to choose. You can look at an otherwise bad situation, such as stepping out of the room for 2 minutes to come back to a tornado touch down (aka 5 year old daughter) as an opportunity for taking a much needed day off to just play and snuggle. A little mindset shift is all it takes to lift your spirits and brighten your day! The choice is yours, my friend. So let me ask you again: How are you feeling today? Comment below! I would love to know. #mindsetshift #lookatthebrightside #encouragement #chooseyourfeeelings #familyphotography #smallbusinessbrandphotography  #auburnca

  • With all that is happening in the world I have been reminiscing on past vacations. And dreaming of trips once this pandemic is over. . My favorite vacation is still when @traviskeen.homes and I went to New York for our 13th wedding anniversary in 2011. Although the tourist destinations were fun, I much preferred strolling Central Park, marveling at and capturing the architecture, and finding the local spots that were tucked away. Like @emiliosballato. Oh my word was their food AHHMAZING!! It was truly one of the best vacations I have ever been on. . To this day, that vacation is my favorite because it was one where I felt like I was at home and not just visiting. One day I hope to return and stay longer. . What is your favorite vacation? . #vacation #newyorkcity #anniversaryvacation #favoritevacation #familyphotography #smallbusinessbrandphotography  #auburnca
