It’s February, and around our house, it’s a time for celebration. Of course there are the typical “holidays”, Valentine’s Day and Marti Gras. For us, though, there are more reasons to celebrate! Step inside to find out why we celebrate in February and to learn about a little-noticed southern tradition.
Recently I found myself in Los Angeles on my way to a photography workshop in Malibu. With a little time to kill, I wanted to make sure to visit the Griffith Observatory, which had been on my list for a while. As I stood atop the observatory, looking out over LA, I couldn’t help but notice a car parked just below. I love the results of this one, simply frame.
I found myself in New Buffalo, Michigan, which is a little tough to handle for this Buckeye’s fan. I had arrived a day early for Kristin and Max’ destination engagement session. After a quick bite to eat in downtown New Buffalo, I went about my scouting. Whenever I travel for work, two things are true – I scout locations beforehand, and I shoot lots of film.

We finally found a break in our hectic schedules. When we were young, it was so easy to take family vacations. As my brother and I have gotten older and have careers of our own, it’s become much more difficult. However, the end of March was our time. It had been decades since we had sailed together as a family. So long, in fact, that Brooke had never been. We booked our trip and started to gear up for a week sailing Grenada (one country) and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (another country). I was excited to momentarily step away from wedding photography, and cold Cleveland. Now I just needed to decide what to bring. Step inside to see a few personal photos from our lives together, all shot on film.
Brooke and I are foodies. We love it all – finding a good recipe, picking out produce, cooking, food photographs, the smells and the tastes. This past July, we spent a few days in California with family for a little foodie vacation. We have some great food in the Midwest, but the food in California can just be unreal. Even dive restaurants are amazing. Step inside to see some highlights from our Napa and Sonoma tour.
