- Funny story -
Picture this...
A teacher asks 4 grade Disco Dave Ivey (my dad) “What nationality are you David?”
Disco responds “well ma’am, half Cowboy, half Indian.”
Teacher replies “Oh really, how so?”
Disco answers back “My great grandmother was a Cherokee Indian princess & my great grandfather was from Texas. So that must mean I am part Cowboy & Indian!”
😂😂😂😂
I literally have not stopped laughing since my dad told me this. Those of you who know my family will enjoy a little more. Indian princess 😂 what!!!
Have a great Tuesday ♥️ -
Presenting you with THEE CUTEST mama & baby boy on this lovely Monday 😍 My oh my! Golllyyyyy! Ohh my geeerrrssshhh! Hashtag nailed it 😂
Julia is such a sweetheart. I could talk all things motherhood, all day long. -
Some people just radiate positivity, love, & joy. That is this mama right here! Cannot wait to meet that sweet boy of yours 🤎 -
HAPPY FRIDAYYYYYY!
It’s a good day to have a good .. wait GREAT day! Am I right?! Everyday is good - but being a business owner, mama, wife, OCD perfectionist - it catches up to you sometimes (usually on Thursday’s haha). Woke up refreshed & recharged. With a clean house (some people do retail therapy, I do cleaning therapy lol). I’m ready to go sweat my booty off at Barre class. Then, I have my first session in the studio this afternoon. Yay yay yay!
Also, probably a crime posting this sweetie again - but if you all have been around for awhile, you know I don’t follow the rules on here ... I do what I want💥💁🏻♀️😘 -
Sometimes you just wanna & gotta ... 😂 -
Saw this pic on @hazelandpinephotography living room wall last week. I am wondering how the heck I haven’t shared it yet! So good 😍 -
Of course this would be the first person to test out the new studio 😂 Gaaaaaahhhh I love this baby of mine. She is the sweetest thing! -
How to find beauty in another: The way they treat people. The way they love. How they hold themselves. What’s in their soul. -
Model call!
In search of a few models to play in my studio with ♥️
(1) Mama & Me session - child must be under 2.
(1) Maternity session - mama must be 30+ weeks along.
Ideally comfortable in front of the camera, however I can work my magic ♥️
DM if interested. Or tag away if you think of a mama that deserves! -
OH LOOK IT’S ME! Wearing my favorite accessory, my camera 😆
Thank you to my talented, good friend @hazelandpinephotography for capturing this!
Photo edited by me. -
Okay. Okay. Okay! I’ll spill the beans ... check out my story! ☺️ -
Couples are usually really set on or against a first look. For me, the first look is the pivot point when building a wedding timeline. Indicating how much portrait time is needed when & where. Things to consider when deciding on if you should have a first look ...
1.) Maximizing time - it’s not about tradition. It’s about maximizing every last second on a chaotic day. There is always something that happens on that day that is out of your control. With a first look safely plan for 2 portrait times (day & sunset).
2.) You get to spend your wedding day together- instead of the last 5 hours. Enough said??
3.) Alone time - which is basically nonexistent with a traditional wedding schedule. Scheduled portrait times are some of the few, if not only times you two will be alone (well with me, still counts lol).
— I’m down for whatever my brides want. You all know that. Just a few helpful considerations — -
Anyone else feel the need to practice your dance moves today?? 😂 #shakirashakira -
Now offering a •Bump to Baby• bundle 🤎 $140 worth of savings!
Because that baby is just as important as that bump! -
Tentative dates for 2020 Mini Sessions (all seasons) are live in my stories! I will also save them in my highlights so you can refer back to them, if need be 😘 -
It’s pretty neat when I pop open my insta & see images I took as my clients profile pic! I think - Hey! Those are my peeps! - or - Awwwee look at my sweet baby! (Not my actual baby, their baby, who somehow is a lil bit mine now 😂) -
Happiness is a mood.
Joy is a fruit.
👆🏼 reminds me of this couple. Just happy!
After a busy week, it has been nice to chill with my number one girl 👧🏽 My husband was out of town last night. So I had the bed to myself. Which I thought was going to be soooooooo amazing ... but that wasn’t the case. I laid there open eyed & kinda lonely (I’m rarely lonely). It took everything for me not to bring Laila up to my bed lol. I have some fun activities for us girls today. Getting a spin sesh in now. Anyways, I’m blabbering on 😂 Have a great Sunday 👍🏼 -
After taking barely 2 weeks off of working out, I got back on track with my fitness routine this week. The soreness I am experiencing is UNREAL 😂 Like insane! Ooooooo’n & aaaaaahhhhh’n around all day long as I move hahaha! Plus I am attempting another @barrecode_spokane class today ... wowyyy #hurtsogood -
Marry your best friend 🤍 -
Excited to announce that I have invested in @honeybook - a new business management software! It’s a real game changer. A better way to serve my clients, and my business. Streamlining proposals, contracts, invoices, payment automations, brochures, questionnaires - are just a few features! I’m pretty darn stoked 🥳 -
OH HI!
We are home from our family vacation to Maui & Disneyland!! Man oh man did we have fun. So many memories made. I’ve gotta say though ... it sure does feel darn good to be home. Even in the 2 feet of fresh pow pow that we got right after we left. I am very much a homebody!! I enjoy being home. And strive off of routine.
Extra rested up & feeling more productive than ever. Bring. This. Year. On! -
Bags are packed & we set out for Maui early tomorrow AM!!! I love vacationing this time of year to break up that mid winter funk 🤪 I’ll probably share the highlights of my trip ... because I know myself lol Which might just be a lot of this mom-butt kicked back on a sandy beach watching a toddler run around like a wild Indian 🙌🏼 yeaaaaaaaah baby yeah! -
Monday mood???!!!
Probably one of the cutest of all time 😍😍😍 -
Might as well 🤷🏻♀️ -
Last but certainly not least, clients of 2019!! The end of the year near brings a lot of deep reflection posts .. & by now you should know I’m usually short & sweet on here (lol) #dontcountmeinforthelongposts 2019 was incredible. I would have never imaged my business to excel so rapidly. And it’s all because of you. Thank you for the continued support of my business & family. It means the world ♥️ -
I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy yourselves & your loved ones🎄✨♥️ -
Welcome to our world precious baby Austin! You are in the best of hands 💕 -
A few short days until Christmas & the end of 2019 😳 -
Congrats to this newly engaged couple all cuddled up, displaying all of the emotion!! And pretending we weren’t freezing our tooshies off. Uhhhhhh I love LOVE. -
A weekend full of sessions calls for a busy week of editing! I never would have imagined I would be booked up until Christmas this year. Pretty darn grateful! And yet, very ready for the holidays and for a vaca.

When you have a session on your property & right away go edit at least one image. OH EMM GEEEEE! The smiles!!
Also - thank you Laila for the very long & perfectly timed nap today lol -
Bridal guides for my 2020 couples were sent out at the beginning of the week. A lot of thought & time was put into these babies. Content including our rolls together, lighting, locations, getting ready, family photos, planning, money, building a timeline, PLUS a month-my-month planner to check items off of your wedding list. A gift for choosing me to document such a special day ♥️ -
Are you going to —
Have a great day
OR
Have a really great day
Those are the only options!
