Yesterday was my 25th birthday! If I'm being honest, I never want to tell anyone that I am 25, haha. I suddenly feel so old! But I do have to say that I have incredible people in my life that make the transition easier.

Friday night my parents took me out to dinner to celebrate, we did a little shopping, and then my friend Carlee and I had a sleepover! It was fun and reminded me of the days when we were roommates, which were some of the most fun days of my life. The next morning (my birthday!) we woke up early to go to breakfast with friends at the Original Pancake House. Which, if you haven't been there, you NEED to go. They have the best breakfast in all the land, and I'm not exaggerating at all. Schedule a trip, stick to it even though you have to drive to Sandy, and your life will be forever changed. Pinky promise. After breakfast, Carlee, Cami, Kyle and I headed to Lagoon for the day! We walked around, waited in lines, and rode rides until our legs almost failed us. I had a wonderful birthday, and after all is said and done, I feel incredibly blessed with the family and friends I've got in my life. 

Brigham Steven Jensen | Birth Story

A few days before her baby was born, Abby and I were talking about a conversation we had in high school. I was giving her all the details about my first kiss, and she was absolutely disgusted! It was just a regular ol' kiss, but she could hardly handle listening to me! It was hilarious how grossed out she was, and she vowed to not kiss any boys for a long time. (That vow only lasted a few months, haha.) But here she was, 9 years later, PREGNANT and ready to give birth in just a few days!

I was thrilled and eagerly waited for her text that would tell me it was time to head to the hospital so I could film the birth. September 30th arrives, and she texts me around 8:30 to let me know I should come to the hospital in about an hour. I was so excited that I just started putting together my camera bag right then away! Which was a good thing, because only about 20 minutes later, I get another text from Abby: "Will you come now? :)" And then two minutes after that: "Come quick!" Haha! That boy knew he wanted to get here quickly. I made it just in time, and at 9:24 p.m. Brigham had arrived!!

It was incredibly special to be there with this friend that I've had for so many years. He's a perfect little guy, but I'll just let you see that for yourself.

CALEA + TAYLOR | ONE YEAR

You know how sometimes you meet people through social media, and it makes you appreciate the potential of social media again? That is how I met CaLea. I started following her on Instagram because she is one heck of a photographer, (that's a link to her work, and you should most definitely click it, because you will be ever-so-pleased) and then somehow we started talking, ran a giveaway together, and have been trying to make creative plans ever since.

Annnnyway, a few weeks back, CaLea asked me to work on a little video for her and her husband for their one year anniversary. We gathered some thoughts on their first year of marriage, put them together with some fun moments we caught on film, and this is what I came up with. Not only was it so much fun being up in the mountains with new friends, but it was also special to witness a relationship like theirs.

Happy anniversary, you two!
