Learning How to Pack for Three
I’m packing for our trip to Japan right now, and the suitcase that used to be enough for both my clothes and his suddenly isn’t enough. Our son’s things have completely taken it over. Packing for two was simple. It was familiar. It was easy. I met Jeff when I was 15, and he 18.…

Fragile Things
Jeff and I had a shoot yesterday morning and went to the grocery to pick up a few things after. When we got home, I plopped on the couch and Jeff went to the kitchen. I remember saying something and stopping mid-sentence, because there was mewling coming from our laundry area. Jeff popped his head…

Best of the Best 2010
It was 6:30am in Boracay earlier, Jeff was packing his things for our flight home after a lovely beach wedding last night, and I was trying to get out of bed and failing rather miserably, when I checked our email and got a surprise that did the trick. There was an email from Junebug Weddings…
