The Owens

Before I share these absolutely beautiful photos of my dear friend I want to preface with this…just because I have a good camera does not make me a photographer. I didn't go to school for this and my skills are sub-par, but I enjoy doing it and bossing people around to get some breath-taking shots. Breen is my co-worker at The Spa, and she and her husband are expecting little baby Isla Mae in just a few weeks! We headed over to an apple orchard for some pictures:

Words can't describe how excited I am for them! This little baby girl has had so many prayers and love for her already, and these guys are just the most excited to be parents. Their Godly love for each other is truly inspiring, and they've been a great example for me and my marriage. I've been so fortunate to meet some really great people in my jobs ( even got to marry one of my co-workers ;) and I'm so happy to call Breen one of my really great friends. You guys rock, and you're going to be the best parents!

Wander[lust]: A Minnesota Sunrise

Do you ever have that moment where the stars align and deliver you to that perfect place at that perfect time? Well that happened this last weekend in Minnesota after watching Laura's fiancé and his band play on Saturday night. My mom, stepdad and I left at 5:50am so we could get back to Michigan at a reasonable time. We stopped at Starbucks along the way for a little bit of fuel for the hours ahead. As we rounded one of the bends on the highway, this happened:

I am so use to seeing gorgeous sunsets on Lake Michigan, so a sunrise on a small lake in Minnesota was a perfect way to end a road trip.

World, you're pretty cool.

Katelyn + Alex Wedding Photos:III

Alex and I got our professional wedding photos back a little bit ago and we are so thrilled with them! Marie Clark Photography was so amazing to work with, so thank you Marie! I wanted to share a few of my favorites-not all of them because that would take way too many posts =) Also, shout out to my loving husband who treats me nothing less than like a princess literally every single day, you're the best dear.

And here comes the first look:

Why yes, I did cry like a little girl.

I'm so completely smitten with this guy.

Travel Tuesday: Italy

So you know how everyone does #throwbackthursday or #whateverdayoftheweekitisandawordthatbeginswiththatletter? Well this is my attempt to be cool like the kids these days so I've decided on Travel Tuesday. No one gets excited about Tuesday because it's still early on, so I figured everyone (including myself) could use a little inspiration. Maybe I've got a bad case of the travel bug lately, but here are a few photos from my trip to Italy in 2009 to inspire that Wanderlust inside of you.

You honestly just don't see that kind of historical, beautiful and enchanting side alley in the United States. I could get wonderfully lost for hours in these side streets.

Here I am in the same city enjoying a cappuccino with my mom and stepdad. Little did I know, this town is actually where my fiancé's family is from. It's the little things in life you guys. 

Have a fabulous rest of your day!
