We made it to Boston! The last two days (Saturday and Sunday) were spent here and overall it was quite nice. We had some light rain the first day, but nothing we couldn’t sit out in a nice little bakery or walk through under a polka dot umbrella. We did learn that Boston isn’t such […]

Picking up where I left off on Part 1, after a fantastic, albeit short, visit to Portland, we hit the road and headed downeast (i.e. northeast) to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park (both located on Mount Desert Island). This was the pace of our trip. We spent a fairly short amount of time at […]

Yes, David and I did indeed go to Vacationland. I have wanted to go to Maine for as long as I can remember. I used to beg my parents for a New England vacation, and we just never ended up there. I was stoked when David and I found reasonable tickets and decided to go. […]

David and I just got back yesterday from a fantastic vacation we were lucky enough to take. While my body does not exactly feel rested (holy cow we walked a lot), my soul does. It’s just plain good to break from the repetitive rhythms in your life from time to time. A song can be […]

So you know those couples who say “we make a point to have a date night once a week.” I think this is awesome. That sounds like such a wonderful idea. I want uninterrupted, special time to spend with David once a week. I’d like a weekly excuse to get dressed up, go out for […]

Have you guys seen the Modern Family episode “Slow Down Your Neighbors”? That’s what that title reminds me of. I recently had reason to celebrate a good friend. She got married last weekend, and in July I got to help with a shower for her. I love how showers get to focus so specifically on […]

We are anxiously awaiting the departure date for our upcoming vacation! All I want to do is GO. I suppose the wait is part of what makes the actual experience so fulfilling. I’ll try and dwell on that. 🙂 Image via Inflated/Deflated. Prints available here.

This post is WAY overdue. Back in June, I had an unusual opportunity with work to travel to West Lafayette, Indiana for a few days. Not only do I pretty much never have a reason to travel for work, it was crazy that this was the place I ended up going, because though most of […]

Oh my gosh, you guys. I did the coolest photo shoot the other day. And now that I’m writing this, I don’t really know why I haven’t bragged about my friend before on here. Her name is Candace, and she will plan you the best wedding you could ever imagine. She is the face behind […]

I was lucky enough to be invited to take some pictures at a birthday party for a cute one-year-old you’ve seen around here before: Sam turned one! He had an amazing monkey-themed party planned by his momma, and spent the afternoon being adored by family and friends and his personal photographer (me). He is SUCH […]

Happy friday, friends! Even after having a holiday in the middle of the week, I am welcoming the weekend with open arms. The 4th of July was so fun though this year, even if it had to fall on a Wednesday. Although I am not one to spend my money on fireworks, I am glad […]

On June 9th, I ran my very first road race. Ok, I ran my very first ever race of any kind. The last time I ran in an organized manner like this was in elementary school gym class, running the mile. Here’s the really honest skinny on how I feel about running and my participation […]

A few weeks ago, some dear friends who moved away a year ago came back for a visit. It was so so so much fun to pick up where we left off, although I was spoiled into feeling like they lived here again. Oh yeah, and I made a new friend: their little Levi, who […]

I keep a mental list. It’s not complex with headings and categories, it’s just one long list of everything titled “Things in My Head”. It includes stuff I want to do around the house, the groceries I need to go buy after work, emails I need to write, ideas I am mulling over, clothing items […]

So I’ve mentioned that I have had quite a bit going on lately. Within the last month or so, I went to Portland, Oregon for a conference for work, one of my besties got married, I edited about 2000 photos of weeds that I took for a client at work down to about 500 images […]

A while ago, I had a birthday. A small group of my friends celebrated my measly twenty-six years with a progressive dinner. It was so much fun, I failed at photographing most of it, but I tried, so I thought I’d share the few images I have from a night that was filled with good […]

When it rains, it pours. And then beautiful flowers appear and everything comes to life in this amazing thing called spring. And then time picks up speed and starts moving like a freight train and I just do my best to keep up. I feel like I’ve quit my blog. Not on purpose, and not […]
