They met on eHarmony, as so many do. Enzo is the thoughtful and witty type, and Stefanie is the sweet and sassy sort. They met and fell in love and are tying the knot this November! Stories like theirs make me SO happy. I love that social media and the internet has the potential for […]

Today I received some exciting news in my inbox. Bret and Hannah’s stunning fall wedding has been featured on Colorado Weddings Magazine’s Blog today! Woohoo! They included a little bit of Hannah’s narrative of the day and a look back on the style of the day. If you have a few minutes, check it out […]

I went down to visit Nana a few days before I was set to leave on a life changing trip. As I drove down the coast toward her house, I thought about all the books on missionaries I had been reading earlier that week and tried my best to choke down fear and uncertainty. This […]

Mariel was working in Paris, France and she had been away on this assignment for a few weeks. She was expecting a friend to come visit (because, really…. of all the places in the world to be sent to work on a project, Paris HAS to be the coolest!) and on the evening the friend […]

My home is currently covered in shredded tissue paper, but I’m okay with it.  I’m okay with it because playing in tissue paper is pretty much the only activity Hugo wants to do by himself…. which means I got work done this week.

 They met through a podcast. He was the podcast personality and she was a dedicated subscriber who thought he was the bee’s knees. Through some connections of connections, they met and became fast friends, enjoying one another’s quick wit and sense of humor. He thought she was gorgeous, she was already smitten…. they started spending […]

This poor cat. I’m sure he’s one of the most photographed kittens of all time…. and I’m quite certain that if Hugo knew every silly thing he does goes on the internet for the world to see, he would hide and never come out. But lucky for me, for you… and for him, he’s unaware […]

Isaiah just turned 1 year old and he’s one of the cutest and happiest babies I’ve ever met! Ruth and Steve made the trek down from the Seattle area to celebrate this little guy  and wanted to get some portraits done of their new family on this happy occasion. Isaiah LOVES balloons…. if you can’t […]

I was talking with someone recently about living our dreams and about our art. We talked about what our dreams are and were… and we talked about why we’re still hopeful. We talked about the personal liability there is as an artist…. putting our heart and soul into our work and allowing the masses to […]
