Last month we made a rush out to the mountains to take our Christmas photos. Along the way, we decided to do something we’ve rarely done… set up our tripod. Backstory: Browsing through countless photography blogs with hundreds of couples and their memories captured has made us truly envious. Because of this, with this new [...]

New York trip 3: Statue of Liberty
Three weeks later and I still haven’t tired of looking at my totally tourist-tastic pictures! Our final destination while in the Big Apple was to see one of America’s most well-known landmarks, the Statue of Liberty! I love visiting places with a lot of history because there is sure to be tons and tons of [...]

Central Park was a grand maze of stunning attractions. It spans 843 Acres and includes unique monuments and statues, numerous playgrounds, beautiful ponds and bridges, a miniature castle (Belvedere Castle, omg!), and so much more! Bethesda Fountain (a statue of an angel blessing the Pool of Bethesda and giving it healing powers) was a favorite [...]

New York trip part 1: Metropolitan Museum of Art
It’s pretty amazing when I think about the 30 chapters of my life so far. Each year, new hurdles to overcome, lessons to learn, a sense of purpose to find…and thinking back on all that, I can honestly say I am the most confident in myself and most optimistic about my future, right now in [...]

Upcoming Midwest trip
Once in a while, we get requests for photoshoots from the Midwest, but being on the west coast we have to reluctantly put those requests on hold until enough come through to warrant a trip. Well, I’m happy to post that it’s finally that time… we’ve booked enough sessions but we still have some dates [...]

Universal Studios Hollywood
We were able to enjoy a fun afternoon at Universal Studios a few months back so I thought I would post up a few of the pics and thank the thoughtful man in my life who still finds the time to romance me so nauseatingly sweetly. It was my first time at Universal Studios and [...]

Road trip: Oregon Sand Dunes
Goodbye sunny California, Hello rainy season (is every season) Oregon. As we passed the Oregon border I felt a twinge of sadness at leaving behind all our special little spots we’d discovered over the past couple years: the hillside on which we were able to catch one of the most breathtaking sunsets I’d ever seen [...]

Photoshoot: Avenue of the Giants
If you ever decide to take a road trip from Southern California to Oregon here are a few words of advice. Get from Los Angeles to San Francisco as fast as you can, but keep your windows up and use recirculated A/C. The drive is brown and boring with a handful of stinkers dairy farms [...]

Road trip: Napa Valley
Even though I’m not a big wine lover, I’ve always wanted to go to Napa Valley (yay, I can now scratch it off my bucket list) and of course it was as lovely as I’d imagined it to be…never-ending stretches of budding grapes and each winery more interesting than the next. While there we were [...]

Road trip: San Francisco
We’re on a road trip to the Pacific Northwest and hope to share it with all of you! Our first stop? Good old San Francisco. The city reminds me of Chicago… only with a gazillion more bridges and tolls. =p The weather tried its best to ruin our day, but luckily it cleared up just [...]
