An Office Update | Canvas & Curtains

  • The New House

like the way Young House Love blogs about their home projects! They don’t just share a 100% completed room all at once, they show the progress! Well that’s the approach we’re taking with our new house! It’s not done but it’s definitely getting closer and closer each month! This past month, I worked on my office a little bit. Several weeks ago I asked all of your blog readers to give your opinion about which image I should blow up for my office wall and the response was GREAT!! I loved hearing everyone’s opinion! Well, I’m excited to show you which one I picked!!

A Whimsical Wisconsin Wedding

  • Ryan + Paige

I have said it it so many times, we love being a part of friend and family weddings! Some photographers don’t like the pressure and responsibility that comes with shooting a family member’s wedding but I have to say that I wouldn’t want it any other way. Michael and I absolutely loved being a part of Paige and Ryan’s big day! The two of us and my dad made the journey to Wisconsin early on Friday morning and before I knew it, we were at rehearsal dinner with family that we hadn’t seen in over two years!! The last time we visited family at the lake, it was for Paige’s brother’s wedding two years prior. I only wish there were more cousins left in this family so that our pilgrimage to the lake could continue!! We love it up there. It was a perfect 75 degrees and 0% humidity! VERY different from the Florida weather we experienced two weeks ago!

JCPenney to the Rescue!

  • The Time We Forgot Clothes

There are certain times in life when things happen and you just have to laugh at them….. even when they are ridiculously stressful. Michael and I experienced one of those situations this past weekend and I figured Monday morning would be the PERFECT time to share our story! As you’re reading this, we are on our way home from Wisconsin. We had the most wonderful time shooting my sweet cousin’s wedding and celebrating with the family! However, late Friday afternoon, we weren’t having such a wonderful time. It was actually quite stressful. You see, my cousin Paige grew up going to Spread Eagle Lake in the summer
