Hi!
I wanted to take some time on this Tuesday to say, hey!
While I sit here in looking at my computer, listening to Ed Sheeran, in my favorite pair of jeans and my blue fuzzy slippers, my hair in a crazy, messy bun, with a super comfy hoodie on, I cannot help but think how blessed I am.
I have a crazy, loud, amazing family. We are all so close and I could not imagine it being any other way. I fortunately have amazing parents who just celebrated their 27th anniversary together. It's kind of gross how in love with each other they still are at this point. My brother D.J., is this pretty awesome guy. He is the quality control manager at Luxco, a privately-owned producer of distilled beverages and liqueurs. He married, my amazing sister in law Ariel, just over a year ago. She is studying to get her PA degree. My sister Brittany, is an amazing teacher in the St. Louis Public school district in a middle school, Special ED classroom. She is also pretty fun to hang out with. I am so proud of my family, and I thank God, every day for them because I am not sure where I would be without them.
Of course I'm going to show you pictures of my favorite people. This is a photography blog! From the Left Ariel, D.J., My mom, My dad, Brittany & Me

I have the best boyfriend that any girl would be lucky to have. We met at Hendel's Restaurant just about 4 years ago. He is the perfect amount of serious and silly. He can always make me laugh when I'm having a bad day. He is the most loyal and generous person I have ever met and make me smile from a simple look. Yes, we have had our ups and downs but what couple hasn't. We have been through so much in the last 4 years together that I cannot wait to continue this journey of life with him and where ever it takes us.

I have amazing friends that I would never replace for anything. They are always there for me for a fun night out, a drink after a long day of work, or a fun catch up session at Starbucks. They also let me use them as models no questions asked. They are amazing. Not all of you are posted but you know who you are.

These are some of my all time favorite photos that I have taken. Maybe they were right when they said, if you really want to know what someone really cares about, look at what they photograph. I love going through my portfolio and finding some photos that I haven't seen in a while and getting to talk about the people I love.
