Side by side. || Husband and Wife photography.
We come in a pair. Two of us. Always. I thought you might enjoy seeing us in action. Remember the secret wedding? Each artist has their own voice, their own view of the world. With two of us, our unique yet harmonious voices capture more of who you are and the unique love you share. … Continue reading
Playtime. || Personal
I’ve been thinking alot about playtime. About time in our busy life to laugh at the top of our lungs, be super loud, have picnics, ride bikes… to become like a child. I just think we are all plain too grown up. We all need playtime. Time with no work, no dinner to make, no … Continue reading
She wanders in gardens.
As most of you know, Jessie has been a busy gal. She is meeting people, shooting, editing, writing, teaching, and finding time for me (Eric) somewhere in there. If you frequent her blog, spring is the best thing to happen to her. I smile knowing that she leaves home early to find a garden to … Continue reading
I’m in love…
I’m in love with Spring. No, really and truly in love. I get all warm and tingly when I am about to go for a walk, and I find my thoughts wandering outside to green grass, sunshine, wild violets and a picnic blanket. I can’t concentrate. I am overcome with the beauty that Spring is. … Continue reading
Happy Earth Day.

Living Inspired.
In the past two weeks I think I must have been asked at least five or six times about what inspires me. When I look over this blog, it seems so terribly obvious that I am amazed that I forget so easily. For me, it is undoubtably nature. I come alive when I am outside. … Continue reading
Importance of Hope.
Hope. Hope is so unbelievably important. Spring fills me with hope, the kind where I believe I can do anything, be anyone and change the world. Hope is the belief that something is coming, something better and that the season of warmth is on its way. . The first day I turned the corner to … Continue reading
Creative Space.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how creativity is born. In any creative profession, there is a delicate balance between business and art. They can compliment each other and also wage war. There is a moment that you decide to risk the art you love the most for the hope to do it every day, … Continue reading
Remembering.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the importance of remembering and its role in our present perspective. I often am frustrated because I am not where I want to be, where I swear I should be by now. I am just not there yet. When I quiet my impatience and frustration and turn my attention … Continue reading
Operation Surprise.
Yesterday was Eric’s birthday. I pulled off a big surprise. It took scheming, team work and a good poker face. Keeping gifts a secret is ridiculously hard for me. Both Eric and I the moment we wake on any given holiday that includes gifts go bounding out of bed to go fetch the gift we … Continue reading
Think Happy Thoughts.
Isn’t it Peter Pan who said, “All you need is to think happy thoughts, a little fairy dust, and you can fly!” This terrarium is my happy thought. During these long dreary grey days, I’ve been fixating my eyes on this glass jar of life. I planted this terrarium around Valentine’s Day and it has … Continue reading
Caught Moonlighting.
Sometimes this is how it is. You have a main gig and a side gig to do the things you love. Dont get me wrong, I absolutely love photography, story telling and the power of imagry. But, I also love making things. So, what does Jessie say? “You better do this Eric!” I did, its called Beta … Continue reading
Valentines Day in 70 degrees!
Eric and I decided to head to the Garfield Park Conservatory for a day spent together in 70 degree greenhouses filled with ferns, spring flowers and the like. I woke up like a kid on Christmas morning, excited, smiley and all twitchy for the fun to begin…. Eric was sleeping peacefully while I was starting … Continue reading

Peace.
Tomorrow morning we are headed off to see my family for a nice long much needed rest. We are headed to the deep south where fried chicken, warm temperatures and old friends abound. I am very much looking forward to talking a long walk in the woods, having coffee with my grandma and having my … Continue reading
Yay Christmas!
I am really falling in love with our new neighborhood Lincoln Square. Our little square has Christmas lights on every tree, garland with big red bows, a big Christmas tree in the square, ice sculptures in the shape of Santa, and carolers, clarinet quartets, and of course German potato pancakes, brats, and apple strudel. We … Continue reading
He looks so innocent…
Ahh… look at Nelson, such a peaceful , cozy kitty….. HE’S DECEIVING YOU. While he is all those things, this morning he’s been wandering around meowing and meowing. As I sit here trying to get my work done he is sitting just out of arms reach meowing, meowing meowing!! I gave him a treat, I … Continue reading
Ridiculous I know.
Happy Wednesday to you all! This coffee mug is so ridiculous, but it made me happy this morning and thought it may do the same for you!

A good friend of ours, Janet Moran of www.oijoyphoto.com took these. The location was so us with the beautiful fall leaves. Thanks Janet! We … Continue reading
