Today is for relaxing. On Saturday, I photographed a wedding in Chicago, drove home Sunday, on Monday headed out to Nebraska, photographed a wedding yesterday, and drove home right after the reception. I'm exhausted. But the good kind of exhausted. Tiredness is okay in my book when it's a result of hard work, traveling, creating memories, and witnessing once in a lifetime moments. I will be culling and editing lots of photos from the couch today. I might not move from this spot until it's time for bed, and that is a-okay with me.

Harrison + Megan

Harrison and Megan drove nine hours here and nine hours back for their engagement session, and I could not be more honored. Their love for one another shines through each photo. I really think the best way to tell a love story is through photographs. Yes, words can move mountains, but nothing is as beautiful as seeing the mountain for yourself; experience its beauty with your very own eyes. That's how I feel about my job as an engagement and wedding photographer. We have one day, sometimes just a few hours, to rightfully portray the love story before us. Harrison and Megan, thanks for making my story telling a piece of cake. Your love for one another is inevitable. 

Orange + Cranberry Face Wash // Clean Living

I'm not lying when I say this is the best smelling Clean Living recipe I've ever whipped up. Not only that, but cranberries and oatmeal are very beneficial for your skin's health. You can read more about that here and here. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup oatmeal

dried orange peels from half an orange

1/4 cup of cranberries

2 tbsp coconut oil

Simply combine all of the ingredients in a food processor, and store in a tightly sealed container. Because the orange peels are a thicker substance, consider blending them first and then combining them with the rest of the ingredients. 

To use, take a small scoop with your finger and massage gently on your face, exfoliating any rough areas. Rinse with lukewarm water.
