Feels like forever ago and yet just yesterday. A whole year of our world turning upside down because of a pandemic. This project absolutely brought me joy during such an uncertain time. Seeing faces I knew and faces I was just meeting for the first time…it was exactly what I needed.

Pregnant mom’s during a pandemic…this has not been easy! I know so many expectant mothers have gone through whole pregnancies during this this past year without ever getting to see close friends and family.

What’s been your go to look in quarantine? Do you still get dressed from head to toe in regular work gear, are you a hybrid for your virtual calls or have you totally given in like me and chosen the clothing option that allows you to both work/work out/play at any given point of the day?

So, I’m loving catching up on blogging from this past year, but OH MY GOODNESS…it’s getting me so emotional! Starting with the neighborhood front porch photography project was probably not the best choice for this big time crier over here

Remember shorts and short sleeved shirts and bright sunny days? Maybe it’s the Floridian in me that will never go away, but this time of year is THE WORST!

It’s been almost a year since quarantine began…I started this front porch photography project a few weeks into it all and the time spent visiting families outside at a distance was truly so life giving to me

This little project is definitely a gift to myself first…hoping it spreads a little love to you as well as we continue to do our part of staying at home to keep each other healthy during this pandemic. Thank you Tobey family for doing just that and for letting me walk by and take a […]

Social distancing is HARD!!!! We are all feeling the impact of not going to work, not hanging out with our friends, not having our independent space (or if you live alone, perhaps too much space). Our family is taking it day by day while we learn to do school at home (I can’t really call […]

When I first met the Martin’s over 6 years ago…there were only 2 of them. Now there are 4 and a 5th on the way (although when these photos were taken no one knew about the baby to come yet)! Feeling pretty lucky to get to do life together with them (our kids can literally […]
