Introducing Jada Kenslee
There was this one day when I met this one girl who changed my life in ways I couldn’t have dreamt. I wasn’t the girl who always dreamed of being a mom. In fact, I often said it wasn’t on my bucket list. But, after earning my masters degree, starting my own business and traveling…

Greece
Destination Anniversary Photos
Ever since our first anniversary, we had our sights set on spending our five-year in Greece. And, amazingly, we got to do just that. We had several long lay-overs along the way, in some pretty sweet cities, but spent most of our time in Santorini, Athens and Meteora. I’d have to say, my favorite was…

Gus Gus
Once upon a time there was the best dog EVER. Like seriously, he’s not really a dog, he’s more of a human trapped in a dog’s body. And like the cutest little dog-child ever. Oh, yes, but back to the story… once upon a time there was the best dog EVER. He was a little…

Thailand
Paradise Destination
Have you ever had one of those moments where life gets so big, and all you really want to do is go lay on a beach somewhere? I hit that point, and was lucky enough to get to find my beach destination to be Thailand. A private island in the middle of Phang Nga Bay…

I make homes.
at least I like watching my hot hubby do so
Garett’s long time dream has been to build his own home. The one problem being, he married this gal that likes to live in the city, not on that far far away edges of town where one may build new homes. So, compromise struck, and we bought this adorable yellow brick house just outside of…

Zip Line & Ponies
Cross Family
San Diego, CA
I love my family. I love getting to spend time with the crazies. Our get-togethers always consist of lots of loud talking-over each other, lots of really sweet things, and lots of loud laughing. And a few moments of completely mocking each other. It’s wonderful, and I love it. This year Christmas was in San…

Camping
the overwhelmed cure
Confession: sometimes I just sit and stare at my computer. like for a solid ten minutes before I realized I totally just spaced out. and then I usually get all annoyed at myself for not getting everything done fast enough… which usually leads to me snapping at my ever-so-cute hubby over something vastly important like…

Cabo San Lucas
Puerto Vallarta
Sunshine warm on your checks. The ocean breeze toying with your hair. More food then you could ever imagine. And laughing it up in a hot tub on a boat. What’s not to love? Oh, right – nothing. The Photog Retreat was this awesome mix of sunshine and ocean with some seriously amazing people and wonderful learning.…

3.14
Pi day – for all those nerds out there is 3.14. I was just informed by my hot hubs that we were married on Pi day. Therefore we must have pie on every anniversary from here on out. This year we missed the memo. Instead, we seriously rocked out our anniversary weekend: snowmobiling, romantic dinner…

St. Regis, Deer Valley
Now, if you’re anything like me, you like, no love, to be pampered.  And when I say pampered, I mean like princess style.  You know, like a long hot bubble with a glass of wine. Oh wait, put that bubble bath in view of a fireplace, and tell me I have unlimited access to a…

Destination: Italy
Cuisine
The old, intricate history of Rome, the quite romantic bridges of Venice, the stunning scenery of Cinque Terre, the colors and romance of Florence… they were all wonderful… but the real reason we actually chose to go to Italy: the food. That’s right, we chose our destination based on the cuisine. I love to travel, would go anywhere, but…
