"seek me and you will find love"

hello friends.

Amongst the things that I am extremely passionate about, music consistently is at the top of the list. I love fashion, how it changes with culture, how it defines a person, and basically everything about. But music, and my love for Christ always reigns supreme over everything else in my life. With that being said, here is me in my element, singing about my greatest love and passion.

This is a song I wrote back in the spring of 2011. It has become the anthem to my life. Above all else, God remains constant and faithful and His love is greater than anything that can temporarily captivate us daily. Hope this can speak to your life today.

she makes beauty look effortless

CEDAR AVENUE | MINNEAPOLIS

meet Ashley.

this girl is one of my { bestest } friends. she is one of those people that, it doesn't matter what she's wearing because the person she is, is simply beautiful enough. she can go numerous days without washing her hair with it still looking perfect every day. she insists daily, "what are you talking about, Mads? i look so rough!" but she literally never does.

Ashley is also the craziest ginger i know. i am consistently posting stories about Ashley on my instagram because she never gets embarrassed and is always hilarious. she is always smiling or talking in accents. it also took forever to get her to stop making dumb faces for the camera. Logan and i didn't know how to respond to this, "Ashley, the crazy model." There honestly is a story behind each photo in this post.

Ashley is my friend, mentor, and sister in Christ and i love her OH so dearly. I am extremely grateful for such an amazing woman in my life.
