Designer Trek 2016 | South Lake Tahoe | Business

I’m writing this blog on the plane from Los Angeles to Charlotte after a long, full, and happy weekend at Designer Trek 2016. In all honesty I think I will be processing what I learned and gained from this weekend for a long time, but I have some immediate takeaways – and some gorgeous pictures of Lake Tahoe! - to share today.

This was so refreshing to me. While I love the photography world and the wedding industry, it did good for my heart and my mind to be completely away from both of those spaces for a weekend and learn from people that are extremely talented in areas different from my business...

I have truly struggled with turning 25 this year. I know some of you will roll your eyes because I am still young by most definitions. But this number, along with a traumatic start to my year, has shaken me to the core. I feel like I should have done so many more things (though what I'm not sure!) and I am beginning to lose a little of the fearlessness that I have come to cherish as a part of my personality...

Books are my love language, especially fun ones that carry me away with a good story 📖 Lately, they have also been an important place of learning for me. Some recent favorites: 📚 For Fun: #WheretheCrawdadsSing (@authordeliaowens) 📚 For Business: #
In a turn of events that is surprising to exactly no one (myself included, by this point), we have a new house guest this summer! 🏠 At the last minute, a 15-year-old exchange student needed a place to stay, and it just so happened that we have an ex
This is how I've felt during quarantine. Whether it's waking up, or running, or reading, or working when work seemed to slow down for awhile, my mantra was: just. keep. moving. I guess I was in good company when that idea kept me going 😉 . . . #quot
