Hello friends, family, clients, and opinionated strangers, I put together a draft of my new website and thought it might be fun and humbling to have the final product be a collaborative experience. I'm seeking feedback. I've stared at this site for too long and don't know what to delete, move around, fix, keep, etc. My original domain name is in the process of being transferred to this new site. Share this link with people if you refer me.

Recently, I received a text from a client inquiring about buying beard oil for her husband. She asked if I knew of any good places in Stillwater, Mn for such a purchase.

Every once in a while, there is a couple that people just can't get enough of. Sydney and Thomas Ward's wedding day was published in EA Bride Magazine, featured on Borrowed & Blue, The Westchester Wedding Planner and more! Happy ONE YEAR anniversary to our wedding famous newlyweds!

Pink dusk. Pink Peonies. My kind of wedding dress a.k.a. jumpsuit! This wedding was a perfect example of stellar wedding professionals and a really chill bride and groom coming together to make a stunning celebration.

This is when the groom is the only person at the wedding who knows how to bustle the dress. True teammates.

I had free reign: my…
