Once I wished I could walk on crutches. On that same day–my 10th birthday–I went rollerskating and fell, breaking my shin. I was in a toe-to-thigh cast for six months. 178 days of having one leg…and lots of sympathy. When the doctor removed the cast, he found a broken plastic fork, leaves, and a red … Continue reading »

I’m a huge fan of communication. Okay, fine. I’m an over communicator, but I’m totally fine with it. I’d rather give the people in my life too much information, than not enough. This applies to my clients as well and was no more apparent at my last wedding. The day before the wedding, JD and … Continue reading »

A couple months ago, I was in Oregon. Every time I visit a new city, I try to bring something home that reminds me of that place. Not like a keychain or a shot glass, but something that feels like me…just from somewhere else. As I roamed the aisles of a book and craft store, … Continue reading »

I tried writing this post five different ways. Each time I begin, I feel like I’m omitting something important, so instead of trying to make sense, I’m just gonna come out and write it as it comes. It may feel like a potluck (why must my potluck plate always have some combination of cold pasta, … Continue reading »

I’m not one for debate. In fact, whenever there’s a disagreement, you might see me grab my coat and hat and run for the door. Well, I don’t wear hats because of my large head, but if I did, I’d grab it and run. Last week, however, I created a debate of sorts, but it … Continue reading »

It’s Friday and I’m incredibly thankful to see the weekend on the horizon. I sense I’ll be parked on the couch watching endless hours of Olympic coverage because, really, I need to know who wins the gold for kayaking. And badminton. In other news, there’s another installment of Friday Randomness brewing in my mind, so … Continue reading »

She secretly surprised him up with a surfing excursion on their honeymoon…and then nominated herself for The Best Wife Award. She’d been a wife for one full day, but Breanne was already on a winning streak with Dan. Having been together for so many years, they’ve learned to understand the ebb and flow of their … Continue reading »

I got a little teary-eyed when I left the house. It’s been a long couple of weeks and coupled with travel, I’m near done tuckered out. I needed a break and thankfully I was headed out the door for one. I headed to Newport Beach to meet a few friends for lunch, girls I’ve known … Continue reading »

I’m sitting in front of my computer and I can’t believe it’s been four years since I blogged my first post about a bride and groom opting to see each other before the wedding ceremony. Back in 2008, I explained the benefits of a First Look both as a photographer, but also as a bride … Continue reading »

We spent every chance we could this weekend watching the Olympics and anxiously awaiting a country medal count. Who knew I was way into archery or skeet shooting? When it comes to winning a medal plated in six ounces of pure gold, apparently I am. Because I started feeling left out of the competition, I … Continue reading »
