Life Lately

November 10, 2015

IMG_4162

Hi, friends! Life’s been pretty crazy lately. I’ve practically been living behind the camera lens the past few weeks. We’ve had some unusually nice weather here in Indiana, and ’tis the season for family portraits. On top of that, I spent Saturday filming my cousin Erika’s wedding!

I’m excited to have a little time off to focus on editing, and also to get back into some routine before the holiday season hits hard. I can’t believe it’s just around the corner! My goal is to have all planning and shopping done by the first week of December. Ha! Keep dreaming, Aly. Keep dreaming.

Anyway, the nice thing about constantly having a camera in my hands the last few weeks has been that I’ve not only captured others’ memories – I’ve snapped a few of our own around here. Of course, my favorites have all been of this tiny, crazy ball of energy we like to call Rosie.

We’ve been talking a lot about how, at the end of a long and stressful day or week, it’s the best feeling in the world to walk up to the porch and see her little face looking out the window, waiting for us.

She constantly has us laughing, snuggles up with us at all the right moments, and genuinely makes our lives so much better.

We’ve been feeling a lot of guilt about just how much time she spends by herself throughout the week, and so it’s been decided… this holiday season, we’ll be searching local shelters and animal rescues for her perfect brother or sister (!!!)

Wish us luck. It’s going to be quite the search finding a pup as quirky and as unique as she is!

xo, Aly

P.S. – We adopted Rosie back in March of 2013 from Perfect Paws Pet Rescue based out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. We strongly believe in adopting pets from local shelters. There are so many fur babies just waiting for their forever homes!

June starting off strong, reminding me how much my June starting off strong, reminding me how much my soul craves a good summer golden hour. ✨

Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled with sentimental pieces. I’m the daughter, granddaughter, and niece that will gladly take items the family may otherwise get rid of or have tucked away in closets for decades, untouched. The kind of traveler that looks for leaves and shells and rocks to keep in my pockets and carry with me, so I can always hold a piece of where I’ve been. Usually, I have no idea where these things may come to live in my own home, but they always manage to find their perfect places in time.

These shelves alone hold a basket full of stones and shells from around the world, framed high school love letters my grandpa wrote to my grandma in the 1940s, an assortment of found and inherited books, some well more than a century old, and sweet portraits of my great grandparents. 

While I strive to avoid clutter, I do love filling every room with as many meaningful pieces as I can. Because while many things are just things, some are so much more. 🤍
