Last month Andy and I got took off on a weekend getaway to Colorado to celebrate our 8th anniversary. We hadn’t been away overnight from our boys in two years, so it felt huge! This trip was special for so many reasons. Normally when we travel, we utilize Airbnb and love it, but for this trip, […]

Today I wanted to share something I recently discovered that has made a significant impact on getting the look of my film scans correct straight from scanning. I get asked a lot about editing film scans in one-on-one mentor sessions, and when I came to this realization for myself, I knew I had to share it […]

Montana and Tanner are Canadian sweethearts who planned a gorgeous DC Ranch Country Club wedding this May! I adored their taste in detail from the classic, clean-lines of Montana’s wedding gown to the use of sophisticated black and white details.

As Texas natives, they planned a hospitable and welcoming event for their entire destination guest list, from a Friday welcome dinner at El Chorro to a Sunday departure brunch the day after the wedding (blog posts from those events […]

Today marks 8 years of marriage for Andy and me! I can hardly believe it! 8 years ago I was 20 and 2 months (I know! crazy!) ready to walk down the aisle to 23 year-old-Andy. I wore a dress I loved and we said our “I do’s” at the church we met at. I was […]
