This week’s blog post is featuring a beach trip to Corpus Christi, Texas(https://www.visitcorpuschristi.com//?utm_source) with three of my dearest friends.
We’ve been making it a yearly goal to do a trip together, usually it lands around our teacher friend’s (Kayla) spring break.

Last year we went to England (which was amazing and I’ll link that blog post at the end) and this year we wanted a more relaxing trip, so we opted for something beachside and relatively close to us. Kayla has a friend from Instagram that lives in Corpus Christi, and she gave us lots of great recommendations for our trip (shout out to Savanna)!!

Most of our days were either spent reading at the beach or at the pool. We stayed on Padre Island and our condo(https://livelybeach.com/#close) was within walking distance to the beach.
We stayed pretty much on the island the whole time, but went out twice for dinner and from what little we saw of the city, we really liked it.

I had never heard of Corpus Christi until this trip, but I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a quaint and family friendly getaway.

I hope you enjoy reading the rest of this blog, and I hope this post encourages you to plan a trip with some of your besties.

Sit back and enjoy watching our sunburns deepen!

This is a very different blog post for me.
All these photos were taken throughout the month of December.
I began December in Arizona and of course ended it with Christmas celebrations.

I tried my best to make this post aesthetic and as seamless as possible. But I also like that this post is a little random and all over the place-because that is exactly how my life is.
My family isn’t perfect, but they are mine. And for that I am eternally grateful.

So with all that said I hope you enjoy looking at a little glimpse of what the last month of 2024 looked like for SAP.
Onto the blog..

Every year my family tries to do at least one family trip. This year we chose Canada. All of my mom’s immediate family lives there and my uncle was hosting a wedding reception/going away party for my cousin who recently got married in Norway (yes, this is the same cousin that had me photograph his wedding in Norway). So the real reason for going to Canada was to see family, but along the way we stopped at some national parks, rode bikes, and stopped along the rode many a time for pictures.

We started our trip in Calgary, driving to Yoho National Park, Banff National Park, Edmonton, and Waterton National Park.

My whole family(plus one of my besties) was present minus my brother and his little family.

I hope you enjoy reading and that it inspires you to visit the Great White North.

I never thought I’d be making a blog post about Norway. I’ve always dreamed of going, but I thought that would be in the faaaaaaaar future. But when I got a text from my cousin, asking me to photograph his wedding in Norway, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

When I got the invite to my friend Zoe’s birthday trip to England, my jaw literally dropped. Zoe had talked about doing a Jane Austen inspired birthday because she was turning Charlotte Lucas’ age (Pride and Prejudice fans will know what I’m talking about). I guess Zoe wanted to go big or go home, because why do a Jane Austen inspired party when you can go to the land of Jane Austen herself?
