While I’m editing Travis & Heather’s engagement, I thought maybe I’d share some of the polaroids we took! We (especially my husband) are really enjoying our SX-70 :) A little spotlight below for our two favs: More pictures coming soon! Hopefully tomorrow??? – She

Randy and I hadn’t seen the Conows since our wedding nearly three years ago. How time flies! I’ve known them for an embarrassingly long time – embarrassing because they witnessed the embarrassing stages of my youth, boy hair cuts and all! My family moved next door to theirs when we came to California, and it…

Kelsey & Kyle have a beautiful relationship, and we know it will blossom into a beautiful marriage! Such a genuine and loving couple, and we are happy to call them family! Kelsey is Randy’s cousin, and we are so happy to have been able to capture their wedding (and of course honored they asked us…

Ah! Such a relief! I’m so glad I finally get to share Kelsey & Kyle’s wedding with all of  you! (Even if today is just a teaser). There are WAY TOO MANY rad pictures from this wedding. I sat and scanned my computer screen forever this morning trying to decide which to post today. I…

On August 16th, 1963, my grandmom and granddad were strolling around the city of New Orleans. A man held out a flyer to my granddad, and he took it, not knowing what it was. As soon as he read the paper’s racial slander, he crumpled it up and threw it away. Months later, following the…

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, we heard some great stories while visiting my family down in Mobile, Alabama. My great grandparents (my granddad’s parents) built their home in Moss Point, Mississippi, a small town near Pascagoula on the gulf. My grandparents grew up in Moss Point, Mississippi, as did my mom and her sister….

Wow… how strange it is to be back sitting at my desk. I’m so relaxed after our vacation – my mind is struggling to accept the fact that so much work awaits me! Alabama gave us just what we needed: lots of food, family time, football and mindless relaxation. Amazing. And driving across the country…
