Welcome To My Blog

I may be stating the obvious, but we believe in documenting your life. Moments are fleeting. I love progress, growth and change, but I love that photography freezes the here and now to help us remember. It shows us who we were and where we’ve come from. The only way to get right now back […]

This isn’t my story to share. This is my sister’s story. A story of loss, tears, heartbreak turned into joy, celebration, and thankfulness. When Carter asked me if she could share her story here on the blog, it might have been one of my proudest big sister moments. I know this wasn’t easy for her […]

Is this really happening? Our baby girl turns 1 today. Wow, just wow. This year. I don’t even have the words to describe this year. Daily, we pinch ourselves and ask is this real life. Is she really ours?! This time last year we were staring in amazement at this tiny little girl, completely smitten, […]

I know, I know, I’m so late in posting these. She’s a week away from turning 10 months, and here I am sharing her 9 month portraits. May is a busy month for wedding photogs! Plus, building a house and launching a workshop makes for an interesting combo. But here I am finally sharing her […]

It’s about time we updated with our house progress!!! We didn’t mean to go MIA on this, there just hasn’t been much to share quite yet. Not to worry, things are about to start moving over here, so we’ll have lots of updates coming your way! In the meantime, we’re actually supposed to start building […]

I’m still recovering from this trip. Seriously. It was the most amazing and most exhausting experience. Traveling with a baby definitely throws a whole other dynamic into the mix, especially when you’re trying not to let that slow you down. We went everywhere, saw everything, and experienced the city of San Francisco in it’s fullest. […]

We were little kids then. I was a receptionist barely making minimum wage and Kyle was in landscaping aka a glorified grass cutter with his income dependent on the weather. We both lived with our moms in the same bedrooms we had in high school. I remember telling a co-worked that I thought Kyle & I […]

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. […]
