Hey friend!
I'm Jessica: wife, mom, photographer, educator
I'm a creative girl boss, obsessed with wedding photography and videography. I have a degree in education and want to bring that into the creative industry by teaching other bosses how to make their dreams come true! When I'm not working, my days are filled with long walks down every aisle of Target while sipping my Pink Drink and listening to my newest playlist. It's the small things!

Our Family Christmas at Orient Bay Last month’s Christmas trip was just THE BEST. If you follow me on Instagram, you saw a few snapshots here and there on my stories. This was our second annual “White Sand Christmas” and I regret nothing! Yes, I LOVE Christmas with family at home. But for my family […]

I’ve been holding my breath. For months I’ve been dreading this day: February 11. It should have been a day of celebration that I looked forward to with excitement, but instead I haven’t wanted to acknowledge its existence at all. Last June, Jason and I got the shock of our lives: a natural, positive pregnancy […]

I have been asked so many times lately, always with the best of intentions, “so how is the adoption process going?” I just never know what to say. “It’s going.” “I’m not really sure, we are just waiting.” “We are stuck.” “It’s not going anywhere, so I am starting to freak out.” I usually respond, […]

For years I have seen posts on Pinterest about the benefits of a quality morning routine and I dream of a day when I will wake up, enjoy meditation, a glass of hot water with lemon, and some thoughtful journaling. But, that’s just not me. I am a sleep-loving morning person. That means I naturally […]

When someone is successful with a physical transformation, or more importantly, committing to a healthy lifestyle, one question he/she gets a lot is “How did you do it?” I was thinking about this, and I’m wondering if what they really mean is “Why did you do it?” The how can be kind of obvious: she […]

This is something that has been on my mind a lot lately, and I am a work-in-progress. So, this post will be more of a commentary on a thought I had, not so much a solution for it…yet. Here’s what I’ve had an internal struggle with: the idea of minimalism and having small children are […]

If you are not yet familiar with the lingo related to adoption, a home study is “an assessment of prospective adoptive parents to see if they are suitable for adopting a child.” Right now, I am wishing I would have looked up this definition before our actual meeting with the social worker, because I did […]
