✨ Holiday fairy light hack! ✨I’m bringing back my favorite way to add a festive glow to your photos—and I’ve got THREE fun ways to use holiday fairy lights. Best part? It works on an iPhone too—no Photoshop or AI tools required!

1️⃣ The OG: Wrap fairy lights around a cardboard cutout and tape the battery pack to the back to keep it out of sight.
2️⃣ The Frame: Grab a wooden picture frame (any size, no glass), and wrap lights around it at different intervals for a unique dotted effect.
3️⃣ The Wrap: Wrap lights around your fingers to create a oval shape and photograph through the center of the oval—perfect for a dreamy framing effect.

Pro tip for iPhone users: Stand a little farther from your subject and tap your screen where you want the camera to focus on your subject. This will blur the lights beautifully!

Would you try this festive photo hack? 📸 Let me know in the comments!

Instagram made me do it! My friend Ashley (@mom_uptown ) shared an idea for the most fun glitter photo project with me, and I just had to try it out! ✨💖 I went through my archives, picked some favorite photos, experimented with different papers and printers, and then added a sprinkle of sparkle for that extra magic touch.

I think it’s safe to say everyone knows what they’re getting for the holidays this year. 😉 How do you think it came out?!

There’s something special about holding your memories in your hands—not swiping through them on a screen. 📖✨

Albums are more than just a collection of your favorite photos—they’re heirlooms in the making. A cozy moment on the couch flipping through pages, the chance for your kids (and their kids!) to relive these moments, and a tangible way to revisit life’s sweetest chapters.

And now’s the perfect time to create something timeless—oh and by the way, my Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale is here! 🎉 Get 25% off all print shop orders, including albums, with the code HOLIDAYSALE25. This is the BEST deal of the year, but it only lasts a short time. Sale ends in one week from today—don’t wait!
