Graduation 2020

Graduation 2020 looks a lot different this year than what we have come to expect for preschool, high school, and collage graduations. Both of my girls have completed their seasons of elementary and middle school this year and will be moving on to middle and high school in the Fall.

The girls have been sad about missing fun end-of-the-year activities, special programs and award ceremonies that they should be enjoying before making the transition to a new school.

Today we grabbed my 22 year old, royal blue, high school graduation gown out of the closet and had a little fun creating images to help us remember these milestone graduations. Luckily the gown color matches our current Chelsea blue.

I have photographed a lot of preschool little graduates over the years, but these images of my girls are the ones that will make me cry as we pull them back out at the next milestone.

We’ve been making the most of our time “Staying at Home” this Spring while celebrating birthdays, crafting, playing, baking, and homeschooling.

We are wrapping up our digital home learning this week and are looking forward to a Summer full of more memories!

The thing about new beginnings is that they require something else to end.

      Yes! I’ve asked them several times if they would want to continue homeschooling next year, and ever time I get a hard, NO! 😉

Stepping Out

The girls and I took the opportunity to check out the houses on The Highland Lakes Garden Club Home Tour today. We saw some amazing ridge views and meticulously maintained gardens. All very inspiring! On the tour we got to stop at the Aldridge family home who has beautiful lake views, gorgeous hydrangeas flanking the […]

Sometimes the best adventures are the ones that ma Sometimes the best adventures are the ones that make you feel like a kid again! 🌲💚

Tucked away in the woods of Flagstaff, Arizona, we kicked off our shoes, left the grown-up world behind, and stepped into @thebarefoottrail!

For a little while, it felt like time stood still. No schedules, no distractions, no place we needed to be. Just the two of us laughing, exploring, and playing like kids again.

We climbed over obstacles, navigated mazes, balanced across rocks, soared on zip lines, and experienced nature from above, below, and all around us. And we did it all BAREFOOT! 🦶🌿

There was something so freeing about feeling the earth beneath our feet, breathing in the mountain air, and simply being present in the moment.

After all these years together, I love that we can still find new adventures, laugh at ourselves, and bring out the kid in each other. ❤️

Sometimes you don’t need anything fancy to make a beautiful memory. Just a little adventure, a sense of wonder, and your favorite person by your side.

When was the last time you forgot about being a grown-up and just PLAYED? 🌲✨

Sedona’s Dark Sky status made it the perfect place to photograph Cathedral Rock beneath the stars. 📸

Our first attempt began at 4 AM, but without scouting Baldwin Trail in daylight, we spent most of the time wandering in the dark trying to find the right view! 😂

We returned before sunset, explored the trail, and stayed around until it got dark on the trail. This time, we found the perfect spots, and captured Cathedral Rock silhouetted against the starry sky! ✨

The best part? Having Jonathan by my side to help me chase the shot, avoid cacti, and laugh through the misadventures. ❤️

Sometimes the best travel memories come from the unexpected detours. 🌵

Have you ever photographed the stars or visited a place with an unforgettable night sky? 🌌

I’ve always dreamed of floating over a beautiful landscape in a hot air balloon, and I can’t imagine a more magical place to experience it for the first time than Sedona, Arizona! ❤️

Jonathan and I got to check this adventure off our bucket list together, and WOW… what an unforgettable experience!

There’s something truly breathtaking about watching the sun rise over Sedona’s stunning red rock mountains while peacefully floating high above the desert. 🌄 The views, the stillness, and the beauty of it all gave us a whole new perspective on this incredible landscape!

A big shoutout to @redrockballoonssedona for making the entire experience so easy, enjoyable, and memorable!

🎈 Tell me… is a hot air balloon ride on YOUR bucket list, or have you already experienced one?

Just a little over an hour from Sedona, Arizona Snowbowl is absolutely worth the scenic drive when the aspens begin showing off their brilliant golden-yellow leaves! 💛

Wednesday felt like pure magic as we wandered through the breathtaking aspen grove at Aspen Corner. The golden leaves, crisp mountain air, and stunning scenery were everything we hoped for!

And as a fun little bonus, our timing couldn’t have been more perfect! We actually got to meet the mysterious young man who hung the now-iconic swing at Aspen Corner back in 2021! 🍂

Fall is putting on quite a show in Arizona! 🍁

Are the leaves starting to change where you live? I’d love to hear what fall is looking like in your corner of the country! 🍁💛

The one hike we knew we wanted to do this trip was The one hike we knew we wanted to do this trip was the Subway Cave off the Boynton Canyon Trail. 

We grabbed the last parking spot in the lot just before 8 am and headed out to find this hidden wonder. We mostly had the trail to ourself until we reach the bottom of the Subway Cave. It is an area you want to stop and spend some time. Whether you take the harder or easier route up to the top, the views are incredible! 

Have you hiked to the Subway Cave or do you plan to on your next trip to Sedona?
