1) My gladiator sandals: I’m milking this whole “When we were in Europe…” intro to conversations for as long as I can (and feeling like an expiration date is approaching), so let me just say, when we were in Europe, I fell in love with and had to buy this pair of sandals. The sandals...

Travelogue: London Calling
Let’s play a game. We’ll call it, “If you could be any city, which city would you be?” Here’s what I discovered: While I’m an American who will always be an American, I could MOST DEFINITELY BE LONDON.
There was something about this city that grabbed hold of me and made me fall in love. In...
July Self-Portrait: Our Balcony in Paris
Some day, if Nick and I are lucky, we’ll find ourselves middle-aged, sporting our fair share of grey, and hopefully, the parents of a teenager (or two). I don’t know about you, but at 16, I recall thinking parents were sooooo not cool. At that age you can’t believe your mom and dad were ever...
Beating a vacation hangover
There’s something to be said for returning to a routine in the wake of an epic vacation. For those of you who might be first-time visitors to the blog, Nick and I took a European vacation and have been gone for much of July.
I feel like I lived another year of my life in those...
I really love …
This stop motion short film—from the music to the idea to the execution. When people ask me what inspires me, it’s this kind of stuff that I instantly think of. Don’t you?
Love and the game of chess
It’s the one game I can always get him to play, regardless his mood.
Never cribbage. Or Yahtzee. Rarely, if ever, Scrabble.
Yes, Nick is a chess man.
A game I happen to be horrible at. And when I’m horrible at something … well, I’m not always a fun person to be around.
But it’s different with chess.
Different despite...
The dog days of summer
I love my pooch. And chances are good that I decided to post this when I did because I miss her. I also envy her for her ability to embrace what dogs do best. And that, my friends, would be to just LIE THERE.

Stacy: Bridals
When Stacy contacted me to shoot her bridals a few months back, I did what I do with a lot of my clients. Friend them on Facebook. I love getting to know my clients that way, getting an idea of who they are from their bios and their photos.
And I could tell Stacy was a...
Chasing dreams ….
It’s taken 20-odd years of dreaming to get here.
And it is everything I thought it would be.
It’s more.
Erin and her European way of life
I can’t remember how my friendship with her evolved, but some time over the past year, Erin and I have transitioned from acquaintances who exchange niceties on one another’s blogs (see her awesome blog, “ModaEagleman” here) to friends who e-mail each other quite a bit about travel and music and books and photography (and Europe...
