We recently went on an adventure of the most EPIC sorts with our good pals Gary and Courtney. <— Make sure to check out their pictures of our #gnarhipsterventure here! Here’s how it all went down: Gary was turning 30 (sorry to call you out like that, Dude, but it’s true, and you did) and Courtney…

First, our good friends, the Christensons are doing something awesome today. They are raising money for The Elisha Foundation (TEF) to help a teenage boy with down syndrome – named Eli – achieve his goal of climbing to the Base Camp of Mt. Everest. Eli is only the second person with this disability to ever attempt this….

I thought I’d do a recap of our October shenanigans. We’ve been so busy, and my number of family posts has suffered :( I’ve yet to sift through any of our November pictures! And December holds more business – aside from Christmas-ing, we’ve got four weddings! 2012 is going out with a bang, y’all…. Taken…

I am very biased when I say this is one of my favorite families we’ve ever documented. After all, Justin is my brother, which makes Susannah my sister-in-law, and June my very precious niece! You may recall this trio (eh-hem, quartet – sorry Eleanor…) when Linus met June for the first time. Quite the handsome…

Family portraits are our new favorite thing! And this little family means something special to us. We spend a lot of quality time together… at gymnastics, at the park, in our kids’ rooms playing with blocks :) There ain’t no kind of bonding like parenthood bonding! It was such a joy capturing your family, Dimitri…

I recently had the privilege of throwing my sister-in-law’s baby shower (along with a lot of help of family and friends!) Since she’s having twins, I preferred to call the event a “shower of babies” :) I’m so excited to meet Levi & Noah, and it was so much fun getting to do this for…

Erin, Shaun and their two little nuggets, Aubrey & Desmond, make up the Hellar family unit. They are one sweet family, let me tell ya! They have been kind enough to not only show us the ropes up here in San Luis Obispo, but to befriend us, too! It was a joy capturing your family,…

A little bit of this, a little bit of that. Just some snippets of our adventures as a family over the summer :) Photographed with 5dMII & Fuji x10:   Trying to copy great-granddad :) Linus, adding to his extremely ordinary rock collection. Tickles from Grandma! Great Oma & Opa.  Backyard family dinners FTW. -…

These two threw quite the party to celebrate their vows. The rooftop at the Porto Vista Hotel in downtown San Diego was pumpin’! Their laid back and fun personalities shined through the details of the day . . . and apparently white boys can dance! Dustin’s rendition of Thriller was one awesome surprise. : )…

We took a work-holiday in San Francisco a little ways back. Even though it was a quick trip, it was quite enjoyable. San Francisco… there’s nothing quite like it! But I think I left my heart in Tiburon…. Shot with the Fuji x10:   – She
