Our Summer Trip to Alaska: Family, Fresh Air, & Memories We’ll Never Forget.
Hi guys! You know Some trips are all about the destination. This one? It was all about the people. For years, we’d talked about visiting my cousin Alisa and her family in Alaska. They’re a military family stationed in Anchorage, and even though we’d never been before, I couldn’t wait to experience where they call home. This summer, we finally made it happen. It was just me and the girls Ivy, Aria, and Riley. My husband stayed home with Disney (someone had to keep our fluffy little girl ...

Our session took place at William Land Park in Sacramento, and it ended up being the perfect setting for a morning of making memories together. The weather was beautiful, the park was ...
My 6th grade graduate.

Watching her shine on stage was such a special moment, and seeing so many family members come together to support her meant the world to us. The day after graduation, we hosted a ...
Girls snow day.
Hi guys! Wouldn't you know that sometimes the simplest days turn into the sweetest memories. We decided last minute to drive up to Apple Hill for a little snow day, and I’m so glad we did. There was so much snow up there after a week of rain in our city. Way more than I expected. Nothing planned, nothing fancy. We literally just found a small open spot behind a restaurant where a few other families were playing and made it our little snow zone for the day. We definitely weren’t fully ...
