This Saturday marks the beginning of wedding season and the end of any possible spontaneity… just til the end of June. What did I decide to do with these past several weeks of freedom? Finally fix my lack-luster website? NAH. That can wait. Organize my life/find a routine/avoid that snooze button? NOPE. Cram in numerous fun trips across the country and check a few states/super fun places/best buddy visits off my list? Ummm YES. I guess it’s hitting me now… Read more »

We even reached a point, with not one dry eye in the place, to think about what we wanted to leave behind… to actually write out our obituaries AAAAND read them. It really puts… Read more »
Of course, as sisters, we always knew and assumed (okay, demanded) that we’d be each other’s co-maids-of-honors one day when we were big and brides. :) I had never even imagined, A. that I wouldn’t be FIRST and B. that I’d reach a photographer’s dilemma: be in/attend a wedding or shoot it? Good thing, with Sara’s wedding, I didn’t really have to choose, thanks to the help of my fellow photo friends Kristen and Eva. Sara’s wedding was the definition… Read more »
