bethany & lauren : celebration

Happy Labor Day, everyone! When this post goes live, I’ll still be sawing logs in bed… probably with both kids, as well as Mack. Ah, the joys of scheduling posts!
But for those of you who might not be so lucky as to have today off (to go swimming and eat tacos, like we...

bridal season…

Our busy season is approaching!
Well, technically, photographers in DFW work hard from mid-March to the end of October. And it’s been a good year for us, so we’ve stayed really busy. But from Sept. 25 – Nov. 13, we only have one  weekend without a wedding. Yeah. It’s pretty insane.
Prepping for all those weddings means...

The First Sight

It’s no secret that I love the First Sight experience. If Mack and I had something to go back and do over again with our wedding, it would be this… we’d see each other beforehand, and soak up that time together.

(Pssst… due to the popular demand of several teacher-y types who regularly read the blog and are now back to getting up at the crack of dawn, blogs will go up at 6 a.m. whenever possible. I try to take care of my peeps. )

Happy Wednesday, blogstalkers!
Today, I’ll be sharing a few of...

Dot is 4 months old

Dear Dorothy -
I really can’t believe how big you’re getting. Sometimes I look at you, and my mouth just kind of hangs open for a minute. I mean… you were just born like a week and a half ago, it seems. Then again, we can’t really remember what life was like without you. We’re complete...

alison & sergej got married!

Want to know how I picked the image for this super sneaker of our Chicago wedding?
Out of the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pictures that I want to blog, do you know how I was able to pick this one?
I closed my eyes, and I shook my mouse around and rolled the scrolly-ball back...

notice : out of the office

Hey there guys & gals!!
By the time this blog goes live, Mack and I will already be up in the air somewhere over America’s heartland, on a plane bound for Chicago.
We’ve got a wedding to shoot, and a Cubs game to see, and I pinky-swear that we’ll be returning with lots and lots of goodies...
