We just started dipping our toes into the Planning Our Wedding waters. I mean, okay… I’ve been looking at dresses and shoes for a little while now, and we’ve talked vaguely about locations (without once thinking logistics)… but having been IN the wedding industry now for a decade, I just figured planning my own wedding…

It’s 6:49pm on December 31st. Mike and Ellie are sitting on the loveseat a few feet away from me, playing Mario Kart on the DS3. Wait. 3DS. Is it a big S or a little s? I’m so techno-lame sometimes. I’ve spent the bulk of today going through 2011′s images, picking some out for a…
Mike, You came into my life right when I needed you most (and right when I was most adamant that I wanted to go it alone). You showed me how to laugh without worrying that laughing makes my double chin more like a triple chin, or maybe even a quadruple. You taught me to allow…
After nearly a year of stubborn minimalistic living, Mike and I finally decided to get cable again. We were determined to confine ourselves to Netflix streaming, and (preferably) read books and newspapers and, you know, write or do other intellectual stuff, like chess and calculus. But it’s cold outside, it’s slow season, and we’re not…
You’re eight years old. EIGHT YEARS OLD! Oh Beanie. You’re such an amazing little girl. Sorry, BIG girl. Watching you grow up and become the incredible person you are today… that’s been the absolute best part of the last eight years. You and I have experienced so much together… lost teeth, Santa…
Just a quick look at what’s coming up from Miss Bean’s 8th Birthday Bash yesterday! Yes, she is eight years old already… it doesn’t make any sense to me, either. Hang tight – I’ve got tons of pictures and stories to post today!
Wow is it ever cold out there! We had all these weeks of 60′s and 70′s weather, dipping into the 50′s at night, that strange time when you bounce between heat and A/C and nothing at all, never quite getting the indoor temperature to that perfect spot… and now it’s fifty below zero. Or 35°,…
I wasn’t going to blog about this at all, but I ran across a couple of old photographs of Dino, and I realized that I need to share him and his story. My ex-husband and I got Dino as a puppy in 2002. He was a purebred chocolate lab. Sweet, hungry all the time, a…
OK, I’ve only posted one flashback wedding entry so far… between editing my current weddings and portrait sessions, consults with new clients, and life-in-general, I haven’t had much time to go back and look through these older weddings to find images to post. In fact, the only thing I’ve managed to accomplish for this project…
It snowed around 5″ in Wilmington NC last week! After Ellie built her very first snowman, she asked me to take some video of her. I can't help it, I think this is the cutest thing in the entire world.
