I went to France

Remember how I talked about going to France? I went! Although it was only last month, it feels like a decade ago. Between now and then, I have shot and processed several weddings, finished four North Carolina portrait sessions, finished three British Columbia portrait sessions, hosted three parties, and cleaned my desk.

Here I am, I’m finally able to sort through and enjoy the photos I took in France. Now it’s time to sign up for French class so I’m prepared when I go back. =)

P.S. The move from North Carolina, U.S.A. to British Columbia, Canada is complete and I’m open for business in the Lower Mainland! Want to know why I came to BC? Well, I went to Africa and met a Canadian and became a bride and roadtripped across the continent with my husband. Simple enough, eh? =)

John & Jennifer: 2014 Edition

Christmas marks the beginning of the end. After such a season of anticipation and joy, now it’s time to reflect on the past year while preparing for a new year on its way. Last Christmas, we had just barely met niece Olive, we were waiting to meet nephew Jesse, were on the cusp of letting the world…

My Sisterfriend.

I don’t understand how this has happened. I really don’t. She’s supposed to still be my baby sister.

She’s still writing me messages when we’re supposed to be going to…

I went on a Cruise

My very first cruise experience was a rousing success, despite being approximately thirty years younger than the target audience (of this particular line). 😉 No complaints here, though: the cruise ship life is a relaxing, enjoyable, astonishingly delightful experience. I may not cruise again for a while (more on that later) but I will be…

These Days

Jet lag kept me from sleeping. I rolled over and checked my inoperable cell phone. At least it still tells time. That’s progress. 5:15am. And a few text messages. Wait. Text messages? Up here? Apparently Verizon does work outside the country of origin. I answered the texts. One needed me to make a phone call….

Be My Bridesmaid?

Aren’t we four and ten still? Writing secret messages back and forth when we were supposed to be asleep? (Sorry, Mom & Dad.) Aren’t we six and twelve still? Bickering over who had to make the bed and what the standard of “clean” would pass for a clean room? Aren’t we just eight and fourteen, facing the enormity of a…
