It’s true what they say—it’s not about the quality or price tag of a camera, it’s mostly about the artist behind the lens. I emphasize mostly because I’d be lying if I told you my Canon 5D Mk III didn’t do anything for my wedding photography. But the camera doesn’t make a great picture […]

  Hello blog world, I’m back. I’ve returned from my prolonged hiatus due to our permanent move from coastal Southern California to now the burbs of Centennial, Colorado. I’ve been away for quite some time so let me recap the last six chaotic yet eventful months: Baby June was born, Sean graduated with his MBA […]

  Last week, my friend and fellow wedding photographer Molly with Molly and Co. asked me to make a special guest appearance on her blog and of course I happily obliged–1) because I adore the gal and 2) the topic was on the importance of taking photos of yourself.  Once I sent her my personal […]

  In the battlefield of swiping, Cindy and Berek not only survived but conquered the modern digital age of dating.  They discovered the nearly impossible to find, indefatigable kind of love.  The kind of love that answers to all the questions and doubts of philosophers, fools, and everyone in between.

  We have a baby!  Our journey that led us to our baby girl hasn’t been an easy one–we had a few many bumps in our marriage, two very turbulent early trimesters, and one heartbreaking miscarriage.  It wasn’t the worst of situations but it also wasn’t the best.  The beginnings were rough but somehow my […]

  All of us have been blessed with small or grand delights of creativity.  Whether you’re a writer, engineer, artist, educator, entrepreneur, or a stay-at-home mom–a creative genius resides within you.  The problem is, this creative genius is a fickle guy–it won’t always show up at your door.  When you need it most it seems […]

  Holy macaroni.  Our first month with baby June River has been a world of a whirlwind.  To keep it succinct, my experience with motherhood thus far has been a beautiful chaos.  I promise to expand on this in a later blog post when I have my mommy’ing together and time becomes available again but today, I […]
