I came across this poem the other day and found it worth reflection. Changing seasons make such beautiful subjects for the written word.

I CRIED over beautiful things knowing no beautiful thing lasts.
The field of cornflower yellow is a scarf at the neck of the copper sunburned woman, the mother of the year,...

1) Johnny Flynn’s “Been Listening”: I have an obsession with up-and-coming British folk musicians and Johnny is one of my faves. His first album, A Larum, was such a find in ‘08 and I’d been looking forward to his new release for some time now. Johnny’s got such a soulful voice and when I put...

It was months ago when my Uncle Jack first mentioned to my dad (his brother) that he’d love for me to take some family photos of the Koch clan. (Bit of trivia for you— Koch is my maiden name and back home, we pronounce it K-o (long o)-ff. Basically, nobody outside of my immediate family...

Allison is a fantastic wedding photographer I first met back when we attended Melissa Jill’s MJ2Day Workshop together. Also at that MJ 2Day? Tina, who I now consider one of my dearest friends.

1) Growing up, what was one favorite item you had to have with you at all times?
When I was REALLY little, it would have been my blue blankie. When I got a bit older, it was a coloring book and a box of crayons. I remember getting the Crayola plastic carrying case that had the...

High school sweethearts, these two. I loved riding around finding locations for our shoot together because as I listened to Melissa talk about how she and Andrew started dating and how long they’d been together, I not only saw how much she loved this man in her life, I heard it in her voice.

#1 Travel Europe
I realize it’s been THREE MONTHS since Nick and I traveled to Europe which prompts me to ask, “WHERE THE HECK DOES THE TIME GO?” So in an effort to cross this one off the list before I forget it any longer, I thought I’d throw it up on the ‘ol blog today....
