Fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

The caramel tones & golden light from the Callison

The caramel tones & golden light from the Callison’s Family session is as warm & lovely as they are ! I love this sweet family.

Right before the blooms completely disappeared, we

Right before the blooms completely disappeared, we caught them for Karmin’s senior session. The last yellow blossoms really outdid themselves. So did Karmin. She was lively, lovely & such a beaut. You’d never know it rained her whole session. 🌼🤍

I have a 3 year old !!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We spent the weekend celebrating our oldest, and this momma has laughed and cried all weekend long. How do I have a three year old ?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Judah Eleazar, you are vibrant in all that you do. Your compassion is deep & your joy abounds. My little extrovert, I love how much you love people. You come alive when you’re with your friends. Church and school are your favorite places. You have been so intrigued by others & who they are. That’s so special Judah. I see you, little one. I see you as your curiosity leads you and your zeal for adventure allows for you to discover so much of this beautiful world. You are one of a kind , and I am so grateful you are mine ! I have watched you become such an incredible little boy these last three years. It is such an honor to be your momma.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Never forget little one..
“ You are brave,
You are strong,
Because Jesus is with you,
All day long”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Always remember, I love you most 🤍

I got to sneak away with my other half last weeken

I got to sneak away with my other half last weekend to celebrate five years of marriage 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dave and I headed to a Charlottesville, Va for a short getaway & it was magical! The rolling mountains of Virginia were illuminated in Autumn colors. Rust, deep yellow, amber & maroon leaves colored our views as we explored.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We ate good food, had sweet conversations, explored historic Monticello, picked apples & enjoyed every moment !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We also had the cutest little plus one that joined us on our trip. Little Lina got to hang with mom & dad while the boys had an incredible time at home with “Miss Avery”— they adore her !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m so thankful for this man. Five years of marriage has been such a joy with him by my side.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our favorite spots in CVille ?
- C & O for an intimate anniversary dinner
- Farm Bell Kitchen for brunch
- Pippen Hill for the yummiest lunch & sparking rosé
- Carter Mountain for apple picking
- Mockingbird for Southern Alabama inspired food cooked to culinary perfection by a chef raised in Mobile, Alabama
- Monticello for historic exploration & discovery

Wishing these two the HAPPIEST day as they prepare

“The days are long, but the years are short.”

“The days are long, but the years are short.”

That statement has never been more true than it is for me right now. Three kids under three has made time fly by for us. I both love it, & I hate it. I want to soak up my little ones , just as they are. I also want to move on to the next season in hopes that it offers a little more sleep than this one. #kidding #notkidding
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But more than anything, I want my kids to have a magical childhood. I want their days to be full of whimsy & adventure, curiosity & learning. So often though, I find myself fighting my toddler, or trying to get to the next thing without realizing the joy of the journey. I’m so focused on getting to school on time, or trying to put the babies to bed, that I get upset when anything prevents me from “achieving” my goals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Recently, David & I have adopted a new phrase in our home: “Get it done, but make it fun”. So often I just want to “get it done” that I forget my little people’s hearts are involved. The fun is for them. If we aren’t having fun putting on our shoes or eating our blue berries , or preparing for bed time, then what are we even doing ?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A magical childhood starts with a mommy’s mindset.
I realize that not every moment of life is meant to be fun. But I also realize that when I try to make the seemingly insignificant moments fun for my little people, we all seem to have a much better day over all 🤍

Saying goodbye to this sweet Summer garden before

Saying goodbye to this sweet Summer garden before our first frost hits. That means I’ll be cutting blooms & giving them to everyone I know for the next few days ! 🌼🌿🌸 I have absolutely loved this mess of a garden. I have learned SO much about spacing, fertilizing, plant growth & more !

Planting a Spring & Summer garden is one of my favorite things to do every year. It’s never to late to start planning next season’s garden 🥰
