Number One

I met my husband Mark on Match.com! We met in 2009 and I knew within the first two weeks that he was the one I wanted to spend my life with. We've been living happily ever after since.

On the left is us on our wedding day (obviously! lol), on the right on the beach in San Diego.

Number Two

In 2016 Mark and I welcomed a beautiful baby boy. Harrison James Smith was born at 11:06pm on February 15th during an ice storm! He is the greatest joy in our lives.

This is one of my all time favorite pictures, Mark with Harrrison at two days old.

Number Three

I love dogs! We have a 12 year old beagle named Jack. Before I became a mom I fostered dogs for a local rescue (Home At Last).

I am always thrilled when clients include their dogs in their wedding or engagement photos!

On the left is our dog Jack (slightly younger in this picture!) and on the right is Cooper from a recent wedding.

I even had one of my pictures of a couple with their dog featured in People Magazine when it was promoting the book Wedding Dogs: A Celebration of Holy Muttrimony.

Number Four

I love to travel! Mark and I have taken some incredible trips together. Some of our favorites have been visiting Fiji, traveling through Italy, and a roadtrip on the California Coast.

Now that we're parents we take Harrison along for the ride! So far, he's been to Punta Cana, Disney World, Chicago, and The Bahamas.

This picture is of one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, Cinque Terre, Italy.

Number Five

The beach is my happy place. Whenever we plan a trip I'm always drawn to places on the water. I've been lucky enough to visit beaches all over the world. 

On the right is one of the most amazing beaches I've ever been to on Savala Island in Fiji. 

My favorite beach that's close to home is Cape May, NJ. I love the charming, historical architecture and the sunset views over the Delware Bay.

Number Six

I love to bake! I grew up baking with my mom. The best thing I make is Italian Rainbow Cookies that I bake every year for Christmas. They take forever to make but they're so worth it.

Six years ago I joined a baking club and I met some of my closest friends. Life has never been sweeter! I host an annual cupcake wars event at my house every spring and we have an amazing cookie swap every December.

My biggest weakness is chocolate chip cookie dough. I just can't help myself from taking a few scoopfuls from the bowl when I'm baking - so good!
