Becoming a parent is certainly—by far—the most challenging transition I’ve ever experienced, and simultaneously the most beautiful and rewarding. Everything about becoming a first-time parent is hard. But, if I’m honest, the most challenging aspect I experienced personally was the unsolicited advice I received from others. In today's blog post I'm sharing a perspective that will hopefully encourage any other new parents who are experiencing the same challenge.
Read MoreAmber has graciously allowed me to write on the Langhoff Creative blog. Usually, I don't do this too often because my skill set is more around handling gear than writing heartwarming posts, but sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone to express how much you love someone.
Today is an amazing day because it's Amber's 31st Birthday.
Read MoreSince the baseball season is winding down and my beloved Cardinals lost to the Giants last week in the National League Division Series, I realized that I never posted about the time Amber and I went to a Cardinals/Brewers game back in early September—a couple weeks before we moved to Raleigh, NC. At that time, the Cardinals and Brewers were fighting for first place in the National League Central Division and this series was pivotal to see who would make it to the Playoffs. Knowing this, I purchased the tickets months before the series in fear that I wouldn't get the chance to experience an amazing game in a very meaningful place with a beautiful woman.

Read MoreFor Christmas last year, we got my brother, Kyle, and his wife, Kelly, tickets to a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game at Busch Stadium. They could pick any date they wanted. The only catch was that they had to let us go with them. We ended up settling on July 22nd, when the Tampa Bay Rays would be in town to face off against the Cardinals.

Read MoreBack in April, a friend of mine sent me a Facebook message wondering if I would be interested in purchasing some Cubs/Cardinals tickets from her. I couldn't type fast enough to say yes to the idea. As a MASSIVE Cardinals fan, I couldn't pass up an ESPN Baseball Tonight game, while the Cubs are celebrating 100 years at Wrigley Field. The stars were aligned that glorious day.

Read MoreMemorial Day Weekend is the beginning of many things:
- Summer
- Grilling and yard games
- Outdoor activities
- Camping & hiking
- The first bad sun burn
- Higher consumption of hot dogs and burgers
- Crazy shopping deals at your local mall

Read MoreWe've known Connor and his family for quite some time. He's currently finishing up his senior year at Case High School (Racine, WI) and is one of the smartest people I've met. He's got a knack for computer technology and programming—can't wait to hear about all he accomplishes in the future! Although he's quiet when you first meet him, my favorite thing about Connor is when his quick witted sense of humor comes out. We had a great time together at his session last September. In my opinion, he rocked these shots!
I hope you enjoy these photo highlights from his senior session...
Read MoreEvery designer has a "top 5 projects" list that they absolutely loved working on in their career. For me, creating an identity system for some of my closest friends so they can live out their God-given dream has easily made my list.
Bright Side Youth Ranch is run by Devin and Tia Tharp. We've gotten to know each other over the past five years through an adult small group, three mission trips, many youth retreats, various projects and countless meal times. We've seen firsthand how God has used them in their jobs, ministries, relationships with others, their marriage, and even in the raising of their two awesome children—Leyton and Brynley. Amber and I were truly honored to help them create the visual identity for their greatest adventure yet.
