Tonight we celebrated a day of reflection and thanksgiving with our beautiful friends Alex and Ryan, their family, my mama and brother, and our dear friends James and Carrie.
I knoooow you know I cry all the time, but I so easily well up when I think of ALL the things in my life I don’t deserve but am ever so grateful for; most importantly eyes to see and ears to hear, a family overflowing with love, a husband I’m nuts about, and friends who breathe truth and joy in my life. God is so good.
Today we were thankful for::
XOXO
Meet one of our favorite people, EVER! Melissa Jill is a dear friend, previous housemate, sista in the Lord, and awesome photographer. We were so excited when she asked us to capture her this year with Ms. Dixie, the fluffy peanut butter to her jelly!!
Zee fabulous Alex of Ave Styles pulled together a few yummy outfits for Melissa to hang out in around her home, with lovely hair and makeup done by Tina Burnham!
Dixie gets SOOOOOOO excited to see her mama whenever she’s away.
One of many bonuses to being bff with this girl are the homemade cookies regularly found in the kitchen.
Readers are leaders! Lol. But really, though.
She’s so beautiful!!
The light was stunning in her quaint backyard.
So evidently, it’s the new thing to water your plants in heels.
Not gonna lie. She rocked it.
Gah! So beautiful, even in a back alley!
Evening stroll in Arcadia.
LOOOVE YOU TWO!!!
Marcus and I were super blessed to share our struggles and successes with a great group of Phoenix photographers last week. We were SOOO thankful for everyone that showed up!!
Since our almost two years in business, the Mr. and I have learned a few mighty good lessons – one being that successful people don’t wait on opportunities. They CREATE them! Which is why we dove deep into creating your OWN opportunities in business. It was a blast sharing with and engaging the group, and we’re looking forward to many more down the road.
Sweet Casia of Purple Nickel was kind enough to steal my camera and grab a couple shots.
Us laughing at our own jokes while everyone pretends to be writing, obviously.
We truly believe the success of a business rests on its leaders. If you want something bad enough, you make it happen. If not, you make excuses.
What do you think? Do you agree?? XOXO!
WOOOHOO! LOVE THIS!!! I’m so glad that you guys could join us. Very thankful for you! =)
WOW….Happy belated Thanksgiving! This is a far cry from the first pilgrims. LOL. Although I guess you’d qualify as “The Pilgrims from Arizona”. Really enjoyed seeing all the fun you had. XOXO
