October, November, AND December Recap
Oh hi. When I fell off the blogging bandwagon, I'd try to start back up, and then I'd get overwhelmed, or the baby would wake up, and I'd just...put it off for the next day. My backlog is SO crazy, but I think I should start small, and maybe it'll be easier with a few behind the scenes photos?...
My Favorite Eastern Washington Wedding Venues
When you're planning a wedding in a more rural area - basically any area that isn't a major city center - it's hard to find information on venues and vendors online. You'll find listings for vendors in major cities - I'm looking at you Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia - on national websites, but it's hard...
September Recap Post
Hey all! It's October, it's raining today, and I'm working on a million things, but I needed to get this post up today. We're back to a lot fewer photos...not that September wasn't a crazy, beautiful month, but little miss has gotten quite adept with messing with my phone, so I'm doing my best to...
Doing a Frivolous Job when the World is on Fire
Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light. -- Albus Dumbledore [JK Rowling] This week, I've really been struggling with doing what I do. Don't get me wrong -- I love my job. I think I have one of the greatest jobs in the world. I spend my days...
Neuschwanstein, Schwangau, and Bavaria on Film
I've been traveling to Germany for the past decade, and this was I think my 10th trip? I tried to count them up, but I can't remember how many times I hopped across the border while studying in Prague. It's like asking me to count how many times I've been to Portland. We've been to Munich a half a...
My Favorite Coeur d’Alene and North Idaho Wedding Venues
When I first started making this list, I have to admit, I struggled a bit. I've photographed more than a few weddings in North Idaho, but many of them have been at private residences - homes that belong to the bride or groom, a family member, or something found through a vacation rental site. Here...
Munich in May
I didn't take very many photos on our recent trip to Munich. We barely went into the city, in fact, we only went in once -- to stroll around Schloss Nymphenburg on a sunny Sunday afternoon. As we wandered along the paths, the beautiful spring sunshine beating down on our shoulders, and the baby...
My Favorite Spokane Area Venues
A few weeks ago, I shared a list of my favorite downtown Spokane wedding venues, which ranged from big ballrooms to intimate parks. Today, I wanted to share my favorite greater Spokane area venues. I started out with some Washington and some Idaho venues, but my list got too long, so I'll be back...
August Recap Post
Our anniversary is this weekend, and the last week of August marked the start of about six straight weeks of crazy around here. But August was surprisingly easy going, and full of snuggles and family time. It was great to get a little break from work, and to spend time with my favorite people! 1....
What to Wear for Family Photos
Last week, I talked about my fall mini sessions. I know a few people from my mailing list said they want to do photos, but are so overwhelmed with what to wear. I completely understand! We had our family photos done in July, and I was so overwhelmed by what to wear - and I'm the expert. I...
