Once upon a time we were out in a field of wildflowers looking up at a giant white castle in the German countryside. Only it was real life! Neuschwanstein is absolutely lovely. According to Nadja it’s not a real castle because it’s too new because it’s only a little over a hundred years old. I …
We spent all day Monday on a train to Venice. It’s only a 6 hour train ride and the scenery was amazing. We went through Austria and Italy and saw lots of the alps, italian countryside and beautiful villages with castles. It was amazing. This became a favorite German drink while we were there. Spezi …
Oh you guys. This trip was so good. Twelve years ago Nadja came and stayed with me and then I went and stayed with her and I fell completely in love with Germany, her family, and her. Being reunited was amazing and very strange-it didn’t feel like we\’d ever been apart. We\’ve kept up with …
On Wednesdays, we play kickball. That’s right-elementary school style kickball. In a league. With other adults. It’s pretty hilarious. But it gets us and all million of our children out of the house and makes us run every once in awhile. Our team name is the bus drivers. Why? Because we\’ll take you to school. …
This year I had the awesome privilege of shooting the most amazing pageant I\’ve ever attended. (And by me shooting I actually mean Lyndi, but we\’ll get to that later). I was asked to take pictures of this and since it was my birthday weekend, the awesome Lyndi of SUGARRUSH PHOTO + VIDEO just happened to …
Hello all. I know this is cutting it close, but I thought I\’d share since I\’m a giant procrastinator. If you’re looking for some fun valentines for your kids classroom parties that are non-candy, this is about as fun as it gets! I found some inspiration on pinterest along these lines and laid out my …
I\’m just in love with this styled shoot. When Lyndi asked me to do graphics and invited me to come shoot for fun I absolutely jumped on the opportunity. I think shooting someone else’s styled shoot is now my new favorite thing. I had none of the heartache of planning, just got to do the …
I declare #redlipdecember! And as part of my declaration-a giveaway. Go check it out on Instagram for all the info! You see, I\’m obsessed with this lipstain by MAC. You need it. Mostly because it allows me to have bright red lips and still kiss everyone without leaving a mark, eat without smudging and the …
I feel like this should actually be titled 5 THINGS WE LEARNED ABOUT DESERT LANDSCAPING…AN ONGOING SAGA THAT NEVER EVER ENDS…EVER. When we bought our house it was grossly over-landscaped. The sweet old people that lived here before us probably had a landscaping crew that came in once a week and trimmed, mowed, and blew …
We had way too much fun with our Disney Villianery. Silly Girls continues to challenge me when it comes to lighting, creative lighting and trying new things and I love how this single point light looks! We wanted to be villainous. Both myself and the lovely Lyndi Benson of SugarRush Photography got to shoot. This was our …
