yes, we get to run our own businesses, have husband+wife coffee dates at 10 am whenever we want, spend time with our radical kiddos, do what we love for a living, teach others how to do the same, and never have a “case of the mondays”. but more than that, this job brings with...

The Story of “DON’T GIVE UP”

Wednesday, February 10, 2010 Posted in about our life, random, resources for clients, resources for photographers

hanging in our bedroom is a poster that says “don’t give up”. our friend becca recently took some wonderful pictures of our family (click here to see her blogpost of the shoot) and happened to capture the poster in some of her images. She asked us what the poster meant, and we thought...

Eric Benjamin - It is scientifically impossible to be more awesome than you two! What a great post and great message to share with your clients. I shouldn't say it, but I'm gonna- In this world full of cheesey, "show me the money" wedding photographers, you two are in a class by yourselves. Now go and get even better! Miss you guys, hope our paths cross again.03/04/2010 - 12:06 pm

Cindy - Thank you for sharing this. It is so true! I honestly believe the wedding is just a party to kick off the marriage. I wish more emphasis was put on this. Love what you do with couples. I'm confident someday in the future that photo you took for a couple will save a marriage. What an amazing thing you are doing. Keep up the awesome work!02/25/2010 - 3:43 pm

Trevor Dayley - What an amazing post! My wife and I will be celebrating our 10 yrs. here in April - and like you guys we have had our share of ups and downs. This simple little reminder is fantastic! Keep up the amazing work.02/21/2010 - 5:10 pm

tina florance - parsons. i just love this post. i just love that you're willing to say some of these vital things that other seems to avoid discussing. so thank you. AND my sister and i just listened to your interview off the TRA blog and...well...just thanks for putting some serious laughter in our day today. we LOVE that you are so approachable and honest. and we love that we feel like we already know you. it is one of the (many) reasons you are SO awesome. we look forward to meeting you in person. we ARE photographers inspired by you.02/18/2010 - 11:49 am

kaitlin - I cannot wait for you to shoot my wedding one day, I cried when I read this. You put your whole heart in your work, I'm a photo student myself and it is RARE to see photographers putting their whole honest self into things anymore. I think it's what truly separates your work from others. Amazing, keep it up always.02/17/2010 - 10:22 pm

jami - duuuuuuuuuude. you know our story. yes and amen to all of that.02/16/2010 - 11:13 pm

Heather Cole - Okay - so....so much to say on this post. I'm with Josh on several things. 1. Your love for each other reminds me that 14 years ago I met Jake and since then my life has never been the same. I forget that after 14 years, two kids, and our careers later. You help me remember that.... 2. I'm so thankful to have the two of you in my life. You make me rich with happiness. Thank you for always sharing your heart on your blog. LOVE YOU GUYS! xoxoxoxo02/16/2010 - 10:22 am

jen berry - how can i not comment. advice full of experience, truth & honesty, love and reality. my husband and i have been together almost 8 years, married 1. our first year of marriage involved 2 cancers as well, his and his best friend (who passed a few weeks ago). I have to say that your words hit home, touched the heart. if we made it through this year, i know we can do the rest. we have this to look back on and put us in check. I know there will be more hardship, but there will also be more happiness. Have to have one to know the other. You 2 rule. Come to LA so we can pay you to take our pictures (we only have 2 wedding photos and steve's head is swollen from cancer). you rule!02/11/2010 - 1:21 pm

ReneeW - word.02/11/2010 - 12:16 pm

wrecklessgirl - these make me all giddy inside. molto molto.02/11/2010 - 9:20 am

megan welker - i really...really...REALLY..love this :) you two are such an amazing couple to look up to. I think nowadays too many couples are too focused on the wedding and not the actual marriage. And, I love that you guys are in it for the real deal, not just the $$. seriously, you guys rock my socks :)02/11/2010 - 2:33 am

josh solar - 1. I love you both very much (and the brothers too!) 2. Your commitment to each other, your passion for LOVE, inspires me to love my wife better. 3. Thanks for being dear, dear friends. 4. What the heck was Mac from It's Always Sunny doing on Lost last night? 5. I just wanted to express how much I love you all again :)02/10/2010 - 11:56 pm

Meghan + Tory : Engaged! in the winter!

Monday, February 8, 2010 Posted in engagements

I love engagement sessions that start with having a beer together. Meghan and Tory are super fun, have great senses of humor, are laid back and came all the way from Chicago to walk around in the freezing cold for their engagement session. We can’t wait to shoot their much warmer wedding later...
