Peru was beautiful. Serene and peaceful, but also colorful and full of celebration. I had planned this trip for so long, I waited with bated breath as we endured our outgoing flight. I almost even feared working on these pictures and then showing them to others, I wanted to make sure and show the real Peru. Well, the Peru from our perspective and experience.
I took a lot of pictures, 'tis true, and I didn't wait to overwhelm you all in one day - so this is part I. We started our vacation in the Sacred Valley and then continued on through the challenging 2-day Inca trail. After our sweat, tears and now burning muscles, we came upon the reason I chose to go to Peru - Machu Picchu.

My first glimpse of Peru was jaw dropping. Honestly, my jaw literally dropped. I was thoroughly enjoying my Peruvian airplane snacks when I nonchalantly glanced out the window...and wow, this was the view that greeted me.
I promise to share more pictures and stories in the days to come, but I wanted to tell you that I am still alive and kicking. I'm actually better than that - I'm refreshed, rejuvenated and excited to be back in the throws of life.
Thank you all for your patience in my responses to email, I promise I am trying as hard as I can to get caught up!
More soon...

Chris and I are off on vacation! We are visiting the other side of the world and hopefully enjoying a much needed unplugging from all technical devices. I look forward to sharing pictures upon our return. We get back Monday, August 23rd. Anyone who shoots me an email, please be patient and I promise to email you back as soon as possible when we get back.
Have a fantastic week!

I once read an incredibly inspiring blogpost on Sarah Rhoad's blog and I have been saving it for the perfect day to write about. It made me stop, it made me think. Our life is a journey, not a destination. I constantly am striving to be the best me I can be - meaning the best wife, the best daughter, the best sister and the best artist that I can find deep inside me. Hope this inspires you to dig deep too...

And since a post is always better with a picture, here is little Moses (aka Mo Mo). I spent the weekend in Dallas and he had me crackin' up the entire time.

I'm a girl. And we girls love all things dainty and mini. That's why I am obsessed with mini cards. I get a lot of questions from people I talk to about what my mini cards are that I offer in my collections. They are adorable little cards (literally no bigger than a stick of gum) that highlight 10 of the best engagement or bridal photos taken from the couples portrait session (come in packs of 100). On the back shares the information on how to access the gallery of the couple's wedding images. Most often, my couples use the cards at their sign in table for guests to grab on their way in or out. But I have also had a couple include in their thank you cards. Either way, it is a fun way to give a piece of you to your guests!
PS These unbelievably adorable bags were made my amazing mother-in-law. And I won't give you her number, because I'm keeping her to myself! Just kidding. Rhonda - you are amazing! :)
Katie:
