It's no surprise that for Oaklin's 5th birthday we of course did a horse theme! Every year has been all about horses and somehow we have been making each year a unique theme. Farm horses, Spirit Horse and this year Cowgirl! We are so thankful for everyone who made this year so special! This was … Continue reading Oaklin’s 5th Cowgirl Birthday Party- in the Park
Tara, an incredible family photographer, wanted to elevate her photography space. She wanted a peaceful place for parents, babies and children to enjoy while getting their photos taken. Often parents or big siblings have to hang out a little while Tara snaps a few of the newborn baby. While they wait, she wanted a space … Continue reading Decorating a photography studio
Oaklin is going to be five this month! Our little firecracker, strong spirited, brave and sensitive girl is growing up! Our friend took these photos shortly after Oaklin was born and it's such a gift to look back on over the years. Happy birthday, sweet girl!

Mamas, … Continue reading Harland 19 months
We moved to British Columbia almost two years ago this June! We moved in to our rental and very soon after my husband began his new job (three days after moving!), we had our fourth baby and the kids started a new school. We pretty much got here and moved in with lightening speed. Now … Continue reading Our Master Bathroom Refresh
Everybody needs, everybody needs Everybody needs saving Everybody breaks, everybody bleeds You don't have to be ashamed The beautiful thing about God is that there's nothing you or I can do that surprises him, that makes him turn his back on us.
