Photographs as Proof
I shared an old black and white photo on Instagram earlier, and it’s been at the back of my mind all day since. I first saw this photograph 2-3 years ago. My heart still breaks each time I see it. It’s by Duane Michals, taken back in 1974. Below it, he wrote: “This photograph is…

Kicking Off 2014
Wedding season has been nothing short of wonderful for me and Jeff. I’ve been on an incredible high through most of it, really. We hit the ground running this year, and we’re both so psyched and looking forward to the rest of it. I couldn’t let this month end without sharing a bit of what…

Wedding Essentials
Wedding Essentials is one of my favorite local magazines. They published their first issue back when Jeff and I were planning our own wedding, so I have every. single. issue. I’ve kept them all and they have survived a total of three moves and a toddler (so far). We’ve been featured again on their latest…

Long Overdue
There’s a box full of long, handwritten letters and printed out emails that I’ve been keeping for a long time now. So much of us was built on those first months when all we had were words. That was fifteen years and half my life ago. He told me recently that he’s always writing to…

John and Melissa’s Wedding
I will always remember Melissa as the bride who teared up when I replied to her inquiry to say we were available for her wedding date. She also emailed me a few months later and very gently asked me to blog. Hahahaha. I am an inconsistent blogger, we all know this by now. She said…

Sharing A Little Bit More

We’ve been doing a lot of looking back and self-evaluating these past few days. All the reminiscing made me miss blogging here with an ache. I used to blog here way, way more…

Ever Afters
I’m working on a number of weddings and engagement sessions to post here, but for today, I want to share this. We had a meeting the other day with a couple who booked us for their 2013 wedding, and the bride asked us, “Why weddings?” Of all the things we could shoot, why do we…

Life on Instagram
Jeff and I worked on a personal project called Portraits of a Marriage back in 2007, as I mentioned last year. It was a photoblog of diptychs of our daily married life. I’ve always wanted to pick it up again and continue, but we just never found the time. We’ve recently become active on Instagram…

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.…

Corwin
This is our son. His name is Corwin. He was born last November 8, 2011. It was a rough delivery, and Corwin was born with transient tachypnea of the newborn and pneumonia. He spent his first week of life in the neonatal ICU. He was on IV, and was hooked to so many monitors. There…
