I am off camping for the rest of this week. This is my 3rd year helping to plan a church camp for teenage girls. It is a lot of work and the pay off is being at camp getting to enjoy the months of sweat and tears that go in to planning. Our theme for...
I am sensitive. I was sensitive even before. I am sensitive to smell. Even the normal fabric softener I love smells like a flower bomb exploded in my nose….and not in a good way. I am sensitive to taste. What use to taste like magic…basil, garlic..spices, spices, spices! Now taste 2nd rate. I actually don’t...
Sometimes I pick up whatever clothes are on my floor and wear them day after day. During my 1st week in kindergarten I discovered the girls bathroom had a pink sign and the boy bathroom had a blue sign. I did not like this. Blue became my favorite color. (I am not against pink. See...
So now I can share all the baby stuff we have bought WAY before a baby was even remotely in the equation…you know…just in case. When I was in Vancouver shooting for OC Tanner during the Olympics, my good friend Whit talked me into buying this organic cotton bunting. I think I may have been...
“We” become 3 in early February. Can you believe I have a teeny tiny human inside my body?! I didn’t really believe it either until I heard this: Feels so good to share the news. Now I can really talk about what’s on my mind…NOTHING SOUNDS GOOD TO EAT! (sorry about the tipsy video…It’s really...
(The last photo was taken by fellow classmate Eric. Proof I was in the same room with Master Zack) The three day studio lighting course with Zack Arias felt more like 3 months. SO much information…in so little time. It was a photo geek fest. Lights, exposures, cameras, lenses, modifiers, my new boyfriend the 7ft...
Deciding where to camp, or vacation, is hard…because I want to be like this map and go everywhere! Hope everyone enjoyed their extra long weekend. We did find a campsite…and since we decided to car camp, brought along our new “camp beds“. Best purchase EVER. (photo via the bean and the bear)
image 1 image 2 image 3 image 4 image 5 (Niece Julia & nephew Jake. Sacramento is too far away.) I already got a lot of great feed back from my previous posts but I thought I would get the final say in one place. I am not promising that I will use the image...
I know I have talked on this blog before of my obsession with my nieces and nephews, but have I really ever talked about my obsession with their mom? Now is the time. Stephanie is my sister in law…but can we just cut the “in law” part and call her what she is.. MY SISTER....
My headphones were on and I was flipping back and forth between the food network and HDTV on the mini screen inches from my face. At this point I had been in airports and planes for 19+hrs in a matter of a few days. It had been a great and hectic few days. Highlights included...
Images 800px wide We loved our stay here! Individual little cottages with fluffy kind size beds, heated bathroom floors, huge tubs, kitchens AND fire pits for s’more making. Since we were celebrating our 1 yr mark we had to make s’mores in honor of the awesome marshmellow melting bonfire at our reception. They also had...
While eating this meal the afternoon of our 1st anniversary, we both wondered aloud whether this was better than our actual wedding day…. I won’t bore you with every detail of our experience at French Laundry (since I already bombarded you with image overload)…..but know this….we had no regrets. It lived up to all the...
I am a little bit in love with her. This video made me so happy and inspired. I love making connections with strangers..helping you realize you aren’t strangers at all. I think Katie has inspired me to continue my “strangers on airplanes” portraits (seen here and here). These are the types of interactions with photography...
All that green just makes me want to take photographs. Sometimes the Mr. says “no more please”….but if he complains too much I make him frolic in fields. Don’t mess with a photographer.
