my sugie and i had a much needed four days away together...no kids, no phone calls & very little computer. instead, we talked, laughed, played, watched movies, slept in, ate, and all those things that don't really happen at home when you have a four year old and a newborn. we even hit the slopes one day and went skiing together for the first time since we met almost 10 years ago! i was pretty impressed at us...we both hadn't skied since the age of 18 and neither of us fell! it was a really wonderful week and we left feeling refreshed and ready to tackle being mommy & daddy to our little munchkins - with smiles on our faces :) thanks to our friends dave & stacey for hooking us up with the coolest.mountain.house.ever.
here is a photo memoir of our time in boone & banner elk, north carolina. ALL of these photos were taken with a point + shoot camera. so, for any doubters out there that don't believe me when i say you can take really great photos with whatever you've got...maybe this will change your mind!
don't you hate when you get back from being out of town and don't have any food in your fridge?? i'm eating oreo's for dinner. oh well, enjoy & i'm going to watch the office :)

it doesn't get more romantic than a wedding on valentines day! we had completely perfect weather, the bluest sky, yummy light & a gorgeous couple. my two-default-valentines-away-from-our-hubbys-photographer-friends, amy & jen, spent the day with me & we oooh&ahhh'd this sweet couple all day long! i have lots of photo goodies to share and if you didn't do anything very fun for valentines day - you sure will feel like you did after watching this slideshow! :)
kathleen & mateo, thank you for allowing me to be part of the beginning of your new life together! it was a joy to be surrounded by your love, friends and family! i hope you have an amazing time cruising the mediterranean for the next two weeks! i can't lie...i'm a little jealous :)
this was my delish valentines favorite of the day. i {heart} everything about it. i especially love how its out of focus and how the sun is raining over them and sprinkling yummy-light-love all around :) |



| kathleen had an amazing vail that blew ever so perfectly in the wind right when we wanted it to! i love these two photos of the happy couple minutes after becoming husband and wife! |


| i named this collage. it is so wonderful that i believe it has feelings and wants to be recognized for how beautiful it is. say hello to my friend - kiss, kiss. and don't miss the slideshow underneath! |
