HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL!!!
December // 25 // 2016
The holidays this year with my friends and family have been extra special.
First time coming home for the holidays, catching up, and enjoying every little second I can before heading back to college.
When you aren't able to see your loved ones all too often, it definitely makes this time of year a treat!
Now I had to make sure I caught up with my friend Mckay Findlay when I was in town. He is such a great photographer and friend! I love collaborating with him any chance I get. Everyone go follow him on Insta. (mckayfindlay) See some of my pics on his website. (findlayphoto.online)
Watch his vlogs on youtube. (kelvin mckay findlay) Just go give him a look! :D
Back in November, Mckay noticed a red holly wreath at our fav store H&M, and sent me a picture describing a vision for a shoot he had.
And it wasn't until now that we were finally able to make that happen.
I am SO happy that I was able to help him create it and make his vision come to life.
Nothing makes me happier than getting together with a group of talented minds to create something beautiful.
I am ALWAYS looking for opportunities to shoot and collab together, whether that is for shoots, meet & greets, or anything of the sort. If you would like to, or know of anyone who is on the lookout for a chance for new creative minds to get together, feel free to..

I have been dying to get a blog post with my white lace dress I got at Nordstrom Rack a few weeks ago.
With Mckay's red blanket, my deer necklace, and the white lace dress we were able to pull off a perfect holiday shoot just in time for Christmas.
Every store I went in the past couple of months I swear I've been obsessed with all of the Christmas decor!
I couldn't stop shopping lol.
i literally shopped til i dropped. (well, til my bank account dropped that is)
Haha but really, I think we all know the true meaning of Christmas isn't about all of the shopping.
I had the opportunity to go to the Temple Lights this year and I was able to visit most of the buildings at Temple Square in Salt Lake City. I stopped and talked to the sister missionaries and we spoke about the new movement "Light the World" on lds.org. Have you guys seen it?? If you haven't, I suggest clicking on this link right now and taking a look.
I loved having reminders every single day through December of ways to remember Christ and the true meaning of Christmas. And "Light the World" helped remind me that I don't have to do all of these crazy, expensive, or time consuming things in order to spread some of the light of Christ to everyone this season.
Christmas time is my favorite time because of CHRIST.
I have noticed, especially since I've been growing up and getting older, that Christmas is so much more special when it is focused around Christ and service.
Christ is everything.
And I love how during this time of the year, we sing hymns praising His name, we read about the night of His birth, laying in a manger, and we reenact the nativity scene all over the world.
I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas! And continue to have a happy new year!
I am so grateful for my family, my friends, and the gospel in my life this Christmas. Every year it gets better and my love and gratitude for those three things grow tenfold.
Merry Merry Christmas!
Thanks for reading!
