Fleming Wedding | The Pointe

On Kris & Joey’s wedding day one thing really stuck out to me: how much they loved and are loved by their family and friends. They centered their whole wedding around their guests and spent as much time as possible with them. I was honored to play a small part in their beautiful day along with so many other amazing vendors!

Collie Family | Lifestyle Family Session

Stuck in quarantine during this pandemic, I have had an ample of amount of time to reflect on family. My family, my people’s family, people that don’t have family. It’s so hard right now, but the only constant lately has been just that- family. The people you lean on the most, tell all your feelings and secrets, avoid when you’re feeling low or cry with, celebrate with, laugh with, mourn with, sit with in complete silence. Family is everything. Highs and lows, ups and down. complete love.

The Collie Fam.

  1. WORK OUT

    • join a gym. i prefer group fitness which takes out the hassle of having to think about the workout beforehand. i show up and get it done! it has allowed me to meet other like minded adults & make new friends well. :)

    • apple watch (or something to track your progress) & challenge someone

    • find a partner for accountability/encouragement

    • i also do yoga at home on the days i don’t go to the gym to get my blood flowing

  2. LIMIT SOCIAL MEDIA

    • Be intentional when you are on social media.

    • set a goal before you even open the app

    • don’t allow yourself to scroll mindlessly

  3. SET SMALL GOALS FOR YOUR DAY

    • Bullet journaling, lists, planners

    • break down each daily goal into smaller tasks

    • WRITE IT DOWN & GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD

  4. JOURNALING

    • write down your feelings, thoughts, ideas, gratitude, affirmations

    • helps you get it out of your head and let things instead of dwelling

    • almost as good as therapy ;)

  5. LOSE EGO

    • don’t take everything so seriously

    • you’re not as important as you think you are

  6. DO ONE THING FOR YOURSELF EACH DAY

    • my personal favorite is to take a bath

    • other ideas: watch your favorite show, have a treat, do yoga

  7. EAT HEALTHY & DRINK WATER

    • eat for nourishment and not just pleasure

    • make sure you are eating enough!!

  8. DANCE PARTY WHEN SAD OR FEELING LOW

    • seriously. turn on some jams and dance it out! preferably 00’s rap.

    • make yourself smile

  9. CALL YOUR FRIENDS/FAMILY

    • again, adult interaction is key as well as nourishing those important relationships

  10. REALIZE SELF INFLICTED STRESS IS AVOIDABLE

    • you control your thoughts. nothing is worth your mental health suffering.

  11. GET SH*T DONE

    • i often get stressed because of the amount of things i need to get done. just focusing on getting things done. it is better than perfect and you can always go back and tweak things! (most of the time)

    • JUST DO IT (thanks nike!)

do you have any tips for working from home? please share!

Brinlee Wedding | McGranahan Barn

Today on the blog, we are taking it all the way back to September 2017 to the wedding of Zach and Laura, aka one of my all time faves. I am so happy to know these two. They bring so much joy & light into everything they do. We had a DANG GOOD TIME on their wedding day and I’d do 10/10 do it again. There was pizza, tears, laughter, champagne (LOTS), falling, jumping, running, you name it. You can tell how much they love, appreciate and truly enjoy each other so much through these photos.


ENJOY THE BRINLEES! CHEERS!

Appling Wedding | Riviera Maya Destination Wedding

SO SO pumped to share this beautiful destination wedding from last november. wow! it does not feel like it has been a year since I dug my toes into the sand of the beautiful carribean & sipped on an iceburg (margarite + beer…ayo!) with the best crew. this wedding was an absolute blast as you’ll see from the bajillion photos i HAD to share.

alexis & brett are honestly so blessed with the best friends and family. my husband was able to tag along on this trip (sans kids…yay for adult time!) and we were treated so well & like family by everyone. it definitely set the bar high for future destination weddings.

ANYWAY, LET’S GET TO THE GOODS.
