Raffy and Nicole + Anna | Tokyo, Japan
It remains one of our favorite things, being able to see our couples grow from engagement to wedding to married bliss, and becoming little families of their own. Over IG and FB, we get to share in this joy over these precious first weeks and months of finding their footing as a new family of…

Richmond and Elaine + Sage
Jeff and I spent a quiet, cozy morning with this little family in their home recently. We shot Richmond and Elaine’s wedding last January 2016, and now they’re a family of three. It felt wonderful to see them as parents, and Sage was so soft and sweet, I didn’t want to leave. Haha. Day-in-the-life sessions…

Ever Afters
I’m working on a number of weddings and engagement sessions to post here, but for today, I want to share this. We had a meeting the other day with a couple who booked us for their 2013 wedding, and the bride asked us, “Why weddings?” Of all the things we could shoot, why do we…

Life on Instagram
Jeff and I worked on a personal project called Portraits of a Marriage back in 2007, as I mentioned last year. It was a photoblog of diptychs of our daily married life. I’ve always wanted to pick it up again and continue, but we just never found the time. We’ve recently become active on Instagram…

Learning How to Pack for Three
I’m packing for our trip to Japan right now, and the suitcase that used to be enough for both my clothes and his suddenly isn’t enough. Our son’s things have completely taken it over. Packing for two was simple. It was familiar. It was easy. I met Jeff when I was 15, and he 18.…
