Finding Center
Last night, we decided to carve out time to date. Half an hour into our movie, I could hear Corwin coughing upstairs. It’s just his allergies/asthma, but considering the circumstances, it was causing me great distress. I ran back up three times to check up on him, and on the third time, Jeff followed me…

Joey and Lavina’s Wedding
Stretching the summer feels just a wee bit longer with Joey and Lavina’s wedding from a couple of weeks ago. It was scorching hot that day, but you wouldn’t even think it by how happy and upbeat everyone was at this wedding. The mood was easy and lighthearted, and we got to have fun outdoors.…

Flags Out
There are days I wake up with the urge to share personal stories here, and a freshly brewed cup of black coffee talks me out of it. I remember when we were very new to wedding photography, and I blogged about everyday life for no other reason than wanting to share our stories. It helped…

Richmond and Elaine + Sage
Jeff and I spent a quiet, cozy morning with this little family in their home recently. We shot Richmond and Elaine’s wedding last January 2016, and now they’re a family of three. It felt wonderful to see them as parents, and Sage was so soft and sweet, I didn’t want to leave. Haha. Day-in-the-life sessions…

To Remember
When I was 16 and we were a few months into the relationship, I used to write my name on Jeff’s hands and arms. Writing has always helped me make sense of the world, and I wanted to see if my name on his skin made sense, this boy who read me poetry and drew…

Ryan and Katrina’s Wedding
This gorgeous couple met on an online dating app called OKCupid. Katrina cancelled their first date, but Ryan asked again. Funny how fate and persistence go hand in hand. Within the first few months of dating, they went clay shooting, skydiving, rode on a hot air balloon, and Ryan taught Katrina how to ride a…

Fiercely
I rarely write about marriage, or us as a couple. It happens maybe once every couple of years, when the urge bubbles up and I can’t contain myself. I write to and about our son often. Corwin is 4 years old and won’t remember most of these things yet, so I feel this urgent need…

Gravities
Jeff and I always teach that every artist needs to set aside time for personal projects. Even when it’s busy, even when you’re swamped, you owe it to yourself to do this, creating something for nobody else but yourself. This is what sustains you when the work gets hard, and there will be times that…

Eight Years
Jeff & Lisa Photography turns eight years this month. In our wildest dreams as wide-eyed kids with the barest of equipment, we never imagined a better eight years. We fell in love with photography and decided that this was what we wanted to do for the rest of our lives. We were young, crazy, and…

Richmond and Elaine’s Tagaytay Wedding
It feels great shooting weddings in families we’ve shot before. There’s history there for us, and familiar faces. It’s like coming back to a book we have loved before, and discovering entirely new chapters. We love the continuity, and the stories take on a depth for us that we feel incredibly privileged to witness. Elaine…
