ON THE ROAD

I’ve had a little dream to take a road trip with Kita before she’s too old to enjoy it. We blocked off time in our calendar for a fall road trip so we wouldn’t let the opportunity pass us by. Luckily, we ran across this little RV one afternoon and secured an adventuremobile! We’re currently on the road for 12 …

ETHIOPIA

Earlier this year, Amos + I were able to travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia with 3 of our close friends. Our main reasons for going to Ethiopia were “the boys” (see below) and to provide photos for organizations to use in their fund-raising efforts. We also hope to bring awareness and extend a hand for you to join us in …

40 UNDER 40

Hey all! Amos here. I am so proud of my sweetheart!!! She was selected as one of North Dakota’s Top 40 Professionals Under Age 40. What a huge honor!!! It’s not JUST because she kicks butt at her work, but because she is an inspiration on how to live a life bigger than yourself. Check out the article here.  

MODERN WEDDING INSPIRATION

A new year means new wedding fun!!! Even though I’m already married and attend weddings all the time, I still love dreaming about wedding details – that’s the girl in me. And Amos – he still likes bringing up that we should’ve had a dunk tank at our wedding. I have to admit, he is RIGHT. We TOTALLY should have. …

OUR STUDIO IS NOW OUR HOME!

YOWZA. This has been an insane couple of months. It’s always been a little dream of ours to live in a loft space, and we finally took the plunge to make our loft studio our home! What gets us most excited about living here is the community we’ll be able to have with YOU…and everyone! We feel insanely blessed to be …

COMPASSION WEEK

Compassion Week was created by a group of Bismarck photographers who want to donate 100% of their time and skill to anyone who starts sponsoring a child. Upon sponsoring a child at either of the two organizations we have personally visited in the Philippines + Ethiopia, we will give you a FREE mini shoot at our studio on May 2. …

KITA 2015 MINI CALENDARS

It will come as no surprise to you that I’m “that” girl making a themed calendar of her dog… I originally created this for my family for Christmas. As I showed it to others, they apparently appreciated (or pitied) my craziness and expressed interest in buying one. Kita 2015 Mini* Calendars are now for sale! Being a stray herself, Kita …

WHEN JESUS WRECKED MY CRUISE SHIP

I’m pretty stoked to be one of 250 bloggers to review Jen Hatmaker’s newly revised & expanded book “Interrupted: When Jesus Wrecks Your Comfortable Christianity”. There are 4 books*, in particular, that have really impacted my life. This is one of them. For a star rating, I give this book All The Ones in The Sky. Whatever plans are in …

ROLLIE

We were super stoked to get this in the mail. It’s literature on our little man, Rollie, who we recently starting supporting through Arms of Love in the Philippines. In short, Rollie’s been abandoned and abused, and Arms of Love has taken him into their family. I can’t get it out of my heart and mind that we need to …
