when nikki toth emailed us about photographing our life on the farm, i squealed in delight! we haven’t had professional photos since our wedding almost five years ago.
our yearly christmas card photos are usually an aftermath of me setting up the tripod & running as fast as humanly possible to stand beside luke, disheveled with windblown hair & muddy shoes.
there are lots of outtakes.
don’t get me wrong – i am so thankful for the opportunity to photograph the beautiful moments that happen daily, but too often i’m behind the camera instead of within the frame.
nikki’s gift of photographing our little family on our farm is one i will always cherish. she captured moments more intimate than our wedding day. nikki, thank you for blessing us beyond measure with these photographs.

how do you recharge & relax? what makes your heart sing?
how do you unwind & gather your thoughts? what inspires you to pour your all into your daily rhythm & tasks?
i think these are questions all of us should ask ourselves.
i am often times surrounded by women who do not know the answer to these questions because they’re never really given the opportunity to explore what rejuvenates their soul, inspires their being & makes their heart sing.
friends, we must leave space in our lives to relax & just be.
space to just be.
i am so thankful for my sweet friend, sara, who said yes to her dream & created the rosy retreat – a space to just be.
when i answer those questions centered around rejuvenating, lifting spirits & caring for myself best – i imagine a creative, relaxing, calm space with a group of like-minded girls.
sara created just this. (bless you, sara.)
& she invited us to be a part of her dream.
i left that evening with a full heart & a group of new girlfriends. i left with a handful of crafts, a pretty flower crown, some lovely photos & an inspired soul.
friends, i said yes to a space that allowed me to just be so that i could leave & be so much more for my home.
what relaxes & inspires you? what makes your heart sing?
craft with your girlfriends or read a book. host a dinner party & eat on paper plates if you don’t like washing dishes. say yes to your dream & host a retreat for women. invite your tribe to coffee dates or go thrifting together. take a long nap or go for a long walk.
find a space that allows you to just be.
love,
natalie
