A few weeks ago, we flew from our new home in Nashville to the familiar warmth of the west to photograph one of the most special weddings of our career in Temecula, California at Mount Palomar Winery for one of our dear team members and closest friends, Melissa, and her now husband ––that’s so much […]

There wasn’t a dry eye in the room. The warm glow of the candlelight illuminated Rich’s mom as she tightly gripped the microphone, stared into her son’s eyes on his wedding day and shared a perspective that only a mother can with an intimate room of their closest friends and family leaning in to every […]

This month as our own kids turn one and three, we’ve found ourselves reflecting on the concept of time more than ever before. We’ve been painfully aware of how fast time is going lately and are trying to do our best to cherish each minute we have with them, even the minutes that feel exhausting. […]

You know those movies, the ones where, if you’re flipping through the TV channels and they’re on, you just have to stop and watch –– even through the commercial breaks?

We’re so excited to share this beautiful desert anniversary session with you today! Josh and Andrea are the sweetest couple and made such an impact on us this year. Before we get to that, first, a little backstory: Our daughter, Emily, was born in February of this year. We’ve been saying all year she’s been […]

A few years ago, as our education business was growing, we reached a point where we needed help. We needed someone to lead our Customer Care Team; someone to, through a screen, serve our students joyfully and excellently; and, most important of all, to love them with empathy. That’s when Melissa walked into our life. […]

Today we thought it would be fun to share how we flipped our nursery from boy to girl for our second baby.  As we shared in our podcast episode on Emily’s birth story, since we already had a gender neutral nursery that we created for our firstborn son Beckett, throughout our pregnancy with Emily, we […]
