Last month we brought Ember Sessions to Huntsville, AL (see some of the photos here) and I was so blown away by the profound impact it had on my spirit. What a blessing it was to hug on a few sweet ladies (my little sister included... can you see the resemblance?), tell them how incredibly beautiful their hearts and stories are and make a little magic together. 

Recently, I've developed quite the affinity for making these fun behind-the-scenes videos. I love the movement and mood that watching shoots unfold brings and I have such fun looking back on some of my favorite moments in time. By the way, how cute is my sister?!

Yesterday I worked on an incredible shoot with a wonderful group of new friends. I'm so excited to share more from this day but in the meantime, check out this haunting video!

Well folks, it's finally done! My first weekly vlog is complete and although I'm a little hesitant to flip the switch and publish such a personal/unedited account of life, I'm super excited to share. My plan is to publish these little roundups every weekend giving us a chance to know each other in a more raw, intentional way.

If you feel inclined, please grab a cup of coffee (it's a long one) and watch what I've been up to lately...
