Hi friends! Welcome to the very last post post in my Ethiopia Media mission Mini Series! Pressing publish on this post was such a bittersweet moment for me. Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been recapping my media mission from just over a year ago. I was lucky enough to work with two incredible […]

Hi friends! Today is an exciting day because… it’s my birthday!! Now, I love celebrating others’ birthdays, but I’m a little weird about celebrating my own. I have no idea why—maybe it’s because I don’t really love being the center of attention… maybe its because I’m away from my family… maybe it’s because I’m just weird… […]

Happy Friday, friends! Welcome to part two of my recap of my trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I’m not going to lie, I had the hardest time finding the words for this post. After all, how can I possibly describe an organization that is doing such incredible things? Last week, you met The Archibald Project—the […]

One year ago today, I was boarding a big airplane en route to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia with a group of strangers that would soon become like family. Friends, I cannot tell you how long overdue this mini series is, but I’ve saved it for a good reason. If you’ve been following along for a while […]

Guys…I am SO excited about today’s post! It has been SUCH a long time coming because these photos were actually a Christmas SURPRISE for Blue & Kona’s dad! (We took these photos back in NOVEMBER!!) AH I just loved being part of it! This session comes with a looong back story, so hang with me! Pet […]

Our little turkey turned ONE YEAR YOUNG yesterday!! If you know me (or have been following along on my Instagram Story…), you know that I am beyond extra when it comes to dogs, especially our sweet girl Soph! Sophie is our precious black lab. She is 67 pounds of energy, smiles (seriously…girlfriend never stops smiling), and […]

I’ve been waiting and waiting on this post for quite some time now, writing in my head and instantly drawing a blank, anytime my fingers get close to a keyboard.  But, after starting it, it looks like it may be turning into MORE than one post. You see…there were were so many things that made […]

Hi friends! I have slowly been creeping my way back into reality and have still been trying my hardest to comprehend all that happened in Ethiopia {all while getting caught up on emails, life, loving on our sweet pup, and celebrating my 23rd birthday!}. If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ve probably seen that I’ve […]

Oh my goodness, guys. In just ONE week, I will be hopping on a plane to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for a media mission trip with The Archibald Project, and I can’t even believe it! Between fundraising, vaccination appointments, and personal prep, I feel as if I have been anticipating this trip for such a long […]

I just want to start this post off by saying I have been so incredibly up and down and back and forth about pressing publish. As a business owner and young professional, I don’t really love sharing my beliefs online…so today, I am not. Today, I simply let my inner, and somewhat retired, journalist flag hang high and had an amazing time capturing the faces and stories of the Women’s March on Washington. And now I am sharing the product with you.
