Healthy Dreams | Personal Post

Pour yourself a glass of wine because I’m keeping things real today.  It isn’t uncommon to find myself staring off into space daydreaming.

Curt & Bailey | Oregon, IL Fall Wedding

I get nervous for every wedding but I was extra nervous for this one in particular. Bailey and I were good friends in high school and she’s also a wedding photographer. Oof. What an honor but also made this girl have sweaty palms for 95% of the day (just being honest.. haha). As I started […]
