THE OCEAN & WAVES

  If it seems like everyone and their mother’s got engaged over the holidays that’s because they probably did.  I’m sure you’ve seen a plethora of engagement updates all over your Facebook feed from Thanksgiving to Valentine’s Day.  And soon enough, you’ll be flooded with those engagement photos too.  Brace yourselves.  That’s because engagement sessions are […]

  Valentine’s day is fast-approaching and whether you celebrate this holiday or not, there is no denying that showing your significant other or yourself a little extra love feels a little extra wonderful.  I’ve never been much of a diamonds + pearls kind of gal but I sure do love a meaningful, useful, and thoughtful […]

  This love story holds a very special place in my heart.  My dear friend Bruce and I attended high school in the tiny but busting city of Seoul, South Korea.  And in this very same city–many years later–is where Laura and Bruce’s love story all began.  Laura, a Delaware native, had been working as […]

  Dear Sean, Last night, while you drifted away into a deep sleep within what seemed like milliseconds, I remained tossing and turning and doing everything I could to battle my insomnia.  After hours of this scuffle, I turned to you and held your hand.  I thought about how lucky I’ve been to have watched […]

  Phew.  2017 threw me a curve ball and a fast one at that.  Early in the year, Sean and I were still recovering from our miscarriage.  By mid-2017, the ecstacy of our successful pregnancy news was quickly and negatively overwhelmed by my morning sickness.  I lost control of my life–my creative passions, my love […]

  A year ago, I posted my ‘2016: A Year in Review‘ to the blog.  And holy hell, a lot has happened in my life since.  To put it succinctly, it was a great year for growth.  And while I’d love to share and expand on my personal, entrepreneurial, and spiritual 2017 journey with you, […]

A creative entrepreneur is a hustling artist full of ambition and creativity busting at the seams.  With the holidays nearing, I decided to round up my top gift picks for the creative friend or lover in your life, whether they’re photographers, illustrators, designers, foodie-holics, or doodle-ers.  Check out my favorite picks for your gift-giving convenience!

Before I went to bed the other night, I started thinking of a particular irony in my life.  My parents did such an amazing job documenting their children’s lives.  Like any other family, we used to have massive amounts of albums and videos of our childhood–from birth and five years onward.  I mean, we had […]

One of their guests asked me, Don’t you get tired of doing all these weddings?  Sandi + Trey’s wedding had been my 23rd wedding for year 2017 so this wasn’t an outrageous question at all.  In fact, it was a really good question.  So good that I had to pause for a minute to reflect […]
