Lots of women have long hair. I never understood that. It’s probably because, when I had long hair, simply attempting to put it in a ponytail was a nightmare! Long hair was just too challenging for me. For some reason or another, I started growing my hair out when I was 17 and hardly had…

I used begging, pleading and tantrums to convince my parents to get me a dog when I was 17. And not just any dog – an Australian Shepherd! I wrote an eight page research paper on Australian Shepherds in high school – that’s how badly I wanted this dog. I can’t thank my parents enough…

Perhaps some of you are familiar with Oswald Chambers’ My Utmost for His Highest. It’s a daily devotional that Randy and I read together every day. It’s a wonderful daily reminder for us to keep our minds and hearts centered on what’s most important. It’s amazing how each entry can speak so directly to a…

I have an obsession with wheeled things. Yes – bikes, skooters, skateboards, rollerblades, motorcycles, you name it. I’ve always been intrigued by devices that get me from point A to point B in a fun way :) One of my biggest wheeled-dreams is to own a Vespa – a 1960′s Vespa. The new ones are…

We had so much fun this weekend at the wedding shower we threw for my brother, Justin, and his fiancee, Susannah. Randy and I have never been in charge of planning an official gathering like this before. Since my parents handled most of the food, and my other brother and his wife handled the drinks, Randy…

In keeping with yesterday’s theme of what could be tagged as “advice”, I thought I’d share a bit about our outlook on this industry – the wedding industry, that is. It’s such an interesting one to be in – very creative, collaborative, and… competitive. With such a flooded market, it can be challenging to stand…

I don’t think I’ve ever done an editing blog, have I? I don’t think I have, so I think I will! Post-processing was one of my biggest challenges when I first started shooting professionally. When you’re first starting out, there might be an impulse to copy the editing techniques of your favorite photographers. I will…

I love Disneyland (who doesn’t?) I’ve been wishing to go for the last few months, and Randy had the bright idea of going for Valentines Day! I must say, we were quite productive! We left before the sun had even set! We were smart with our Fast Passes and hit all our favorite rides and…

I’m back! Sorry for my blog absence! Randy and I decided to take some much needed R&R time over the weekend. We tackled lots of fun activities, which I’ll be sure to share in the next few posts :) So here’s what we did Saturday: SUPERCROSS! As you might know, Randy used to race motocross,…

I’ve always loved dogs. I’ve always felt a “bond” with them, I guess. Cats – forget about it. Dogs are just bubbling over with happiness. It’s something I admire so much! So compassionate, so forgiving, so excitable, so simple – we could all learn a few lessons from our canine friends :) I took Blossom…
