Nautical Sunday
The Sunday scaries hit us hard most weekends. Our favorite cure is to get out and be productive. Taking pictures, droning, and walking around when the weather allows it. We were so blessed by some 60 degree weather the recent weekends. We took full advantage. Despite the fact that most of our drone footage didn’t…

Autumn Musings
This is just a catch all list of some of my favorite things/ things to do this fall. We have been busy, and enjoying this season. This has been a beautiful season for its autumnal charm, but also as a season of preparing and growing. When winter rolls around, Dillon and I will be married.…

Bird’s-Eye View: Chicago
Just in awe of these sunrise photos of Chicago. Dillon’s favorite new toy is his drone. If he isn’t working or brewing coffee, he is 100% droning all the time. Can you blame him with photos like these? Love this city so dang much. Kelly

Engagement Photos
I may very well post these again separately, but I wanted them all in one place for now! So beyond obsessed with our engagement session that our good friend shot for us. Thank you so much Mark! He is incredibly talented and we were so lucky to have had him lend his expertise for us. We…

Mood Boards and Autumn Gourds
Shamelessly, I LOVE Pinterest. Long drive- Pinterest. Waiting for a flight- Pinterest. Lunch break- Pinterest. My affection for the endless pinning stems from both the prospect of new projects/ inspiration and just darn good photos. Call me crazy, but there is something so calming about scrolling through those gorgeous pictures. Not so shamelessly, I…

Recent Adventures
Another weekend rolled around and we found ourselves back in Chicago. Now, our returns are quite full with appointments, plans, and events. This weekend, we had a high school reunion, engagement photos (about time!), and wedding DIY’s. I have a feeling that every time we are home from now until the wedding is just going…

September Weekend
Labor Day and the unofficial end of summer may have passed, but that didn’t stop us from spending as much time as possible outside this weekend. The farmers’ market was calling our name. Autumn gourds and pumpkins appeared at almost every other vendor. I fought the temptation and went with some summer blooms instead. Six…

Kayaking
The other day Dillon and I kicked the Sunday Scaries to the curb and decided to rent a tandem kayak for an afternoon. Together, we have only kayaked once before. Yet, we are both dying to put one on our registry. Our thoughts are if we get one, we would be more inclined to use…

Pope Farm Conservancy
Last Sunday, Dillon and I found ourselves driving around after some errands. We had the DJI and DSLR and weren’t quite ready to head back for the day. On a whim, I looked up how far away we were from the Pope Farm Conservancy. Our friend, Dan, mentioned that he had been there not long ago…

Camping Trip
Every year since I was about four or five my Dad has taken me on camping trips. It all started with our neighbors and dear friends who invited us years ago. We were hooked. We usually take at least two a year. A fall trip and a summer trip. Since being away for school and now…
