I’d still like to pick his brain on techniques, settings, composure. He has a Fujifilm camera himself, and…
I recently started pinning inspiration for the baby’s nursery. I found myself turned off by a lot of what I saw. Any other woman would use adjectives like unbearably cute or ovary-twinging or charming & chic. Not me though. I’m not digging baby themes. While images of pinks, sky blues,…

2017 has been an amazing array of awesomeness! Jordan and I squeezed as much as we could out of this year. And what timing! 2018 will be a whole new chapter; a totally new frontier for us. We’ll (sadly) be tapping out on all of the extraneous Vegas trips and…
