Read MoreShooting My First Wedding.
I photographed my first wedding yesterday and pretty much everything that could go wrong did. Let me back up. This winter, my friends Rob and Jenn asked me to photograph their wedding.

On Saturday morning, our friends Megan and TJ invited us to go berry picking with them at a farm out in the country (as most farms tend to be.)

I used to hate the idea of goals, resolutions, life lists, and all the iterations found both on and offline. I was a Goal Grinch, I suppose. Then, I came to the conclusion three years ago that goals are good: I must choose how my life will play out, instead of merely being and lettingRead the whole post >>

I don’t know why I keep thinking gardening is such a great idea, but I think it’s mostly how cute Gabe looks in the garden. Last year, he crawled around and tried to eat dirt; this year, he’s helps to weed (Er, sort of. “Not the tomatoes plants! Just the little plants!”) and runs throughRead the whole post >>
