Welcome To My Blog

It’s vacation time for the Dunlaps!!! Ada’s first real trip! We’re so excited to travel with her, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say slightly nervous about how she’ll handle the time change. That girl loves her routine. We’re head to San Francisco and Big Sur, CA. Two places we’ve dreamed of visiting for […]

We had our first appointment at the design center for our new home yesterday!!! It was a little overwhelming when they told us we had 30 days to make all the design choices at the contract signing. But like most things, once we got started it wasn’t nearly as scary. The designer walked us through […]

This weekend was perfect. It was everything we dreamed about and more. On Saturday, in the privacy of our backyard, with our family present, we dedicated our daughter to God. We committed to raising her in a Christian household, and prayed prayers of blessings over her life and her community of family. It was beautiful. […]

We’re moving!!!!!! Now that I’ve scared all our brides, I’ll tell you we’re not moving far…only up to Wake Forest, NC. We’re actually building a house, so we really won’t be moving for a few months! This has been a dream of ours for years, and we are pinching ourselves it’s finally coming true. We’ve […]

In case you weren’t aware, the south got snow last week. I’m not sure if we could even call what we got snow. It was more like a 2 inch layer of sleet/snow/freezing rain that melted together into a solid layer of ice. Anyhow, it’s a big deal around here. No joke, our schools were […]

Is the title too extreme for a Friday morning? Maybe. Sorry about that. In case you haven’t yet, it’s time to WAKE UP! One more day until Saturday! But who’s counting? Actually, we are…we’re counting down the weekends we have open before wedding season. If there’s one downside to our jobs that’s it. Not because […]

It’s fun to be on the other side of the lens. As wedding photographers, we don’t often get that opportunity. Having a baby, has definitely changed that for us. We want to make sure our life is documented for her. Sure, we take our own portraits of her all the time, but we want her […]

6 months with Adeline Pearl. What a whirlwind of love it’s been. I say this all the time, but if someone could have truly explained how amazing this would be, I would have had a baby a long time ago. But then, Ada Pearl probably wouldn’t be here, so on the other hand, she was […]

There were a few things I was adamant about in regards to raising our daughter. One was I wanted her on a semi-firm schedule, and the other was I did not want to feed her solids until she turned 6 months. Mainly because we have family history of digestion issues on both sides of the family, […]

I am so glad we were able to document this time in her life! Ada Pearl was only 6 days new when we took these. It’s a time we’ll never get back. Kyle loves to look at me and say she’ll only be xx days old once, because he knows it makes me cry. But […]
