Our day after Thanksgiving plans included getting our first tree and ornaments. Although we’ve been married for 2 and a half years, this is our first Christmas on our own, in our own home. So we wanted this to be special! Throughout the months here, I had been slowly accumulating Christmas decor from thrift stores and that combined with bringing out the crafty side within me gave us some affordable holiday decor! And some black Friday deals helped. After setting up the tree and decorating (while listening to Christmas music, of course), Jimmy, Layla and I cuddled on the couch and watched Christmas Vacation accompanied by hot cocoa and popcorn. Although I WILL say that Layla ate one too many fake pine needles and threw up in six different spots in the house. Poor thing. But gosh, I love Christmas time.
Our second tiny tree on the entry table with paper flowers.
And of course, how could I end this post without some Christmas baking?
Hope you all are having a lovely Holiday so far!

It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL outside. But it’s also freezing. In the negatives, to be exact. I don’t know how we do it to be honest..how we live here. Haha. It’s sort of funny how when it reaches up to 20 degrees we get excited about it. But I will gladly take that over -7! Anyway, enough about the weather. The snow is so high (past my knees) that I haven’t been motivated to take any outfit photos lately, so here I will leave you with the last one I took before the snow came. It’s also been hard to wear anything other than jeggings/leggings or jeans, but I’m comitted to not letting the weather bring me to the point where I don’t feel like getting dressed up! So here’s to toughing it out and braving the snow. I’ve been doing it every weekend for photographing my clients…why should this be any harder? 
In other unrelated news, today it has officially been a year since Jimmy joined the Air Force. I can’t believe how fast time has flown by! One year ago today I was saying goodbye to him and seeing him off to BMT. Crazy. But good crazy. There have been some frustrating times for sure, but I wouldn’t trade our life for anything and I’m thankful to the Air Force for putting a roof over our head, medical insurance, and so much more! And I’m also thankful for my husband, of course. Words can’t express how proud I am of my handsome man and how grateful I am for his service! He is an amazing Airman and I can tell he is going to do great things and go very far in his career

I am a tad behind on blogging my sessions but here is my attempt at stepping it up! Danielle and Tony were some of my first clients that I got to “practice” with. We went to a beautiful creek and had so much fun taking these. I must have tripped about 30 times jumping from rock to rock but hey, I will do almost anything for the sake of good photos. Almost. Danielle has been a huge encouragement to me while I’ve been in the process of starting up my business and I’m thankful for all her kind words and helping spread the word about me!

Once upon a rainy day we went driving around and window shopped at a few stores followed by dinner. It’s not rainy anymore which makes it a lot harder to drive in snow, but I love our “Just because” days and make sure to cherish them as much as I can. Especially during times like these when things are a bit busier and our dates are fewer and further between. But I’m not complaining because the holidays are about to begin and that means more date nights in the comfort of our own home with movies, hot chocolate, and popcorn!
Happy Monday!
