Life is short, stay up late.

Caleb and I had such a fun evening last night. We got home from work, made PB&J's and popcorn for dinner, we cuddled on the couch and watched a few episodes of The Flash before plugging away on our recent wedding edits until we couldn't keep our eyes open anymore. We stayed up way too late talking, and at one point laughed so hard I cried. Caleb couldn't help but laugh at my laughter and the cycle just repeated itself for a while.

Life is really all about those small, simple moments. The little moments that you wish you could bottle up and remember forever. Like when your husband comes home with a bag of candy because he was "thinking of you" on his drive. Or when you get a text from a friend that says she'd proud to know you. Or silly things like last night where you laugh so hard you cry just thinking about a hilarious meme you saw earlier that day.

I get so caught up sometimes, that life doesn't look quite like I thought it would a few years ago, but I take so much comfort in the fact that we worship a God who DOES know what our future holds.

Last night as I was editing, I realized how far Caleb and I have come together on this photography adventure. We took a look back at the FIRST wedding we shot together and cringed at the awkward posing, slightly overexposed, angled images. It's crazy how caught up I'll get when editing now if the white balance is slightly off, focus isn't razor sharp, etc., then I remember that while those things are important details to pay attention to, what's more important are your subjects. The bride and groom in the photograph itself. Their emotion, their joy, their peace in knowing they are each others forever. Photographing has been an exhausting journey, but an insanely rewarding one none the less.

I'm slightly obsessed with the sunset session we did on Alyssa and Jon's wedding day last month (see above). It's great to have clients who TRUST you when you tell them leaving their reception for 7 whole minutes will be worth it. Brides and Grooms don't get much "quiet time" on their big days, so I love when they take time to just be together, slow down, and cuddle while the sun goes down.

This whole post was so random, but basically just to say its okay to eat PB&J for dinner, its okay to be proud of yourself and how far you've come, and its okay to stay up way too late cuddling your husband. Life is short y'all! Enjoy it!
