Dear Diary

One thing I’ve learned since becoming a parent is how to enjoy alone time. Pre-baby my anxiety would be SO HIGH even just shopping alone at target but here I sit now alone in a restaurant and let me tell you it is damn empowering to realize that not all eyes are on you and you are worthy enough to just be. Anyone else struggle with alone time or is it just me? 📸 @jicherir.photo Battling the stomach flu today with a one year old in tow. SEND PRAYERS AND GATORADE. Any secret remedies to kick this shit is muchhhh appreciated. This mama ain’t got time fo’ this! 🙏 Sundays are for sweet kisses, snuggling, and Netflix especially with this pretty snow we’re getting. Can I get an amen? 🙌🏼 ALSO veil shots may just be my favorite thing 💕 The prettiest invites may just be from @minted 😍also @allie.m.mahoney knows how to throw one gorgeous wedding! Love it when my brides have that creative eye 🙌🏼 . . . . . #Ohiowedding #ohioweddingphotographer #cincinnatiwedding #cincinnatiweddingphotographer #daytonwedding #daytonweddingphotographer #kentuckywedding #kentuckyweddingphotographer #southcarolinawedding #charlestonwedding #texaswedding#texasweddingphotographer #lousivillewedding #destinationwedding #indianawedding #luxurywedding #southernwedding #columbusweddingphotographer #engaged #soontobemrs #weddingdetails #ohioweddingvenue #weddingplanning #ohioweddingplanning #kentuckyweddingplanning #texasweddingplanning #charlestonweddingplanning #destinationweddingphotographer Planning a midday wedding and worried about your images turning out? You don’t HAVE to have an evening wedding to snag beautiful photos. This one was taken basically at high noon 😂 I’ve had a lot of brides worrying about timing when planning a later wedding but also worried they’ll get super harsh light earlier in the day. Of course every photographer loves golden hour but we can always find locations that will give us the shade we need and give you gorgeous images you’ll love forevaaaaa 💕#trustyourphotographer @chapel.lane.photo @orangeblossomevents @thebuddingfloristcincy @luxereduxbridal @janaybeauty @lightboxsalon @hygge_cakes @queencityvignette @jay_design_co @honeydesignsjewelry @cincyparks Sometimes I forget to remember there’s a plan. Not mine of course but one bigger than myself that’s at work in my daily life whether I realize it or not. I often try and control and push and manifest things myself only to realize that they’ll come in due time or be presented when you least expect them. I’ve been relying on positive mantras lately and so far the one I feel calms me best is “the universe is abundant and everything I need is already headed my way”. For an anxious person like me this definitely puts it into perspective that I’m not in control (gasp) AND THATS OKAY. What are some of your favorite mantras or tips to living a calmer more focused daily life? I used to be bummed when there would be a dreary day that kept me from doing things and going places, but now I’m thankful for them. Why? Because not every day has to be bright and cheery to be gorgeous. Embrace the downtime, the snuggles, and the coziness that comes with a dreary day. I feel like this applies to life too. You don’t have to be rainbows and sunshine every fucking day—it’s exhausting. Nothing in nature grows all year. Take joy in your resting and growing season. It may not be the most “beautiful” time, but it’s a much needed one. Okay first of all shoutout to @ramiyahcampbell and her sweetheart Tommy for being one of my all time fav couples—they even do styled shoots for me and they absolutely kill it! On a totally unrelated note, my tieks flats completely bit the dust so now I’m hunting for my next comfy pair of shoes. What are some flats you love AND that will last? - Sincerely, desperate and shoeless Switching photo storage platforms and sifting through my images brought up this gem 😍 dayuuuumm taylor with @hygge_cakes makes not only amazing desserts but also a kickass model—and get a load of that rock 🤩 Style & Design: @_mexyou Venue: @premierparkevents, The French House Hair & Makeup: @albabeautystudio Florals: @thebuddingfloristcincy Stationary: @piedpapergoods Dress: @Luxereduxbridal Tux: @Folchiscincinnati Rentals & Linens: @cincinnatieventrental @queencityvignette Baked Goods: @sweetwhitscakes Jewelry: @honeydesignsjewelry Event Planner: @thecrystalcollectionevents Models: Steve Peele & Taylor Peele Officially shaking off the slow winter season and hopping back into the swing of things as wedding season heats up! It’s always such a weird time of year because I’m equal parts nervous to get started (thanks anxiety disorder) and effing pumped to see all of my gorgeous couples get hitched this year 💕who can relate? Ahhhhh! Also shoutout to all of my 2019 brides who are probably only 162848492726473 times more anxious than me. YOU GOT THIS!!!!!!! .

This is me—I have no clever caption or fancy story. I’m living a messy as hell life with my beautiful baby boy and trying to be a more intentional version of myself everyday. Most days I question everything I’m doing and don’t feel good enough and some days (usually when the sun is shining and the coffee is hot) I feel like a motherfucking badass woman and mama. Can I get an amen? I’ve talked with a lot of people recently who mention how it looks like I’ve got it all figured out by what they see me posting and while in some respects I feel that could be true, in others I definitely fall short. So for all of you guys hustlin’ like there’s no tomorrow, grinding on no sleep, and dealing with personal shit behind the scenes—you’re in good company. Just keep swimming 🧜🏼‍♀️ @mkf.photo 📸 Third trip to the doctors in three weeks for my little babe 😭 hoping we find out why he’s not feeling so hot. This is my first time with him being sick for more than a day or two and my anxious mama bear is starting to come out. Send us healthy vibes today if you can! 💕🤞🏼 (A day late on here but #momlife 😂) Where to even begin my little wonder. This time last year i was anxiously watching monitors, feeling your little kicks in my belly, and praying I’d meet you soon. One year ago you made me a mom and today and everyday you make me proud. It’s amazing the transformation you’ve gone through this year and even though I wasn’t entirely prepared for the amount of sleepless nights and Kung fu panda we watched, my heart has always been prepared to have you in it. I’m so overwhelmed with how you’ve changed me and made me a strong mama. Here’s to the rest of our lives ❤️ love your overly excited mama 💕 yahooooooo! Happy birthday baby! I was going to post some romantic caption about these pretty shoes but now I’m just going to use them to tell the world my son TOOK HIS FIRST STEPS LAST NIGHT! That is all. If you need me, I’ll be busy being a proud mama and soaking in his last day before turning one ❤️ Gimme a beautiful girl in a @misshayleypaige dress any day 🔥@chapel.lane.photo @orangeblossomevents @thebuddingfloristcincy @luxereduxbridal @janaybeauty @lightboxsalon @hygge_cakes @queencityvignette @jay_design_co @honeydesignsjewelry @cincyparks There’s few things that are better in my eyes than elegant minimalism 👌🏼this suit has all the glam without all the fussiness. Simplicity = happiness ... I’m definitely trying to live more by this mantra these days. I’ve honestly been going through such a creative rut lately but today I felt totally inspired and creative again—maybe it’s all this sunshine? I feel like sometimes I’m spinning my wheels so fast trying to do and be it all that I never really take a deep breath and slooooooow down to let creativity in. Making a point of taking time for more cherished moments, belly laughs and slow dancin’ in the future. #feedyoursoul (wedding planner = the always gorgeous @orangeblossomevents — seriously book Bri if you’re looking) Merry Christmas ya filthy animals! Love, Cohen and I #christmas #babysfirstchristmas #christmasbaby Snuggling this boy a little extra this week and reflecting on what I’m most thankful for—my little boy, my supportive family, my boss babe friends, and my beautiful clients. See ya 2018 it’s been real, but I have this tingling feeling that 2019 is about to be the best year yet! What are some things you’re thankful for from 2018? One of my favorite ways to photograph rings is this type of stack. I feel like it not only shows off each ring’s uniqueness but also shows how each ring needs to lean on the other in order to stay upright—much like the marriage they signify. Having an equal partner and person to lean on as a spouse is crucial for a successful marriage. It’s crazy how quickly this little setup can topple to the ground if one ring falters in its duty to uphold the other. #ringgoals #marriagegoals
