I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE

one of my best friends in the world is getting married on saturday and it's making me go back and reminisce about my own wedding weekend and all the magic that happened during those days.

thinking back to us saying 'i do' and walking out of the ceremony to "i believe in a thing called love" by the darkness still makes me smile uncontrollably.

THE COOLEST BABY BLANKET THAT EVER WAS

somehow forgot to post about the most amazing hand made present any mom-to-be could ask for. my sister made this ridiculously perfect baby blanket for our baby girl and i couldn't love it more





so rad to think about how our little girl will have this to snuggle in for years and years to come. 

craftiness runs deep in this family

FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY

i was doing some reminiscing and realized it was exactly four years ago today that chris and i moved into our apartment

check out these old pictures of us prepping the apartment before we moved in. so nuts to see the apartment back in the original state

MY BEEF WITH INSTAGRAM

don't get me wrong, i love instagram. i love scrolling through my endless feed checking up on what everyone's doing through photos. it's much better than facebook with the ads and page suggestions and games. my beef with it comes from how it's effecting my own picture taking.

pre-Gram, i took all my photos on film. but now i find myself splitting up my picture making into two categories: things that work for social media, and those that are better for film - and film seems to be losing the battle more and more.

it probably makes it worse that since i've been pregnant i had to stop carrying my bulky film camera around all the time to try and save my spine.

hopefully once it's nice outside and i can travel again and move and shake a little more i'll be able to shoot more film. at least that's what i'll tell myself for now

and she loved it, which is all that really matters!
