we've got a lot of new and exciting things going on around here these days....

on top of having fifteen million shoots, I just bought the house across the street from sara!  we can now officially start the whitebox commune :)  we moved almost one month ago and it seems like we've been in a constant state of construction/painting ever since.  right now, all of our offices are crammed into the upstairs of my little house but we're moving onto bigger and better things...

 this was my basement yesterday

and today...yay, we have walls!

tim and i are really loving it out here in the country and sara is loving the easy commute :)  here is some random prettiness from last week:

tim and jackson- both very happy about the acreage

more basement updates soon!    mel

meet our nashville couple extraordinaire, linnet + peter.  we were already super excited to shoot their upcoming wedding at bald head island but now we're even more excited since we've met them!  they are going to be total rockstars!

remy is a labradoodle- so cute! 

love this one

stay tuned for more from nashville, some whitebox news, and fifty million more sessions! 

darci from the with this ring blog has exceptional taste!  mel and i were honored that she posted about us and our Polaroid photo booth on her blog.  check it out here!  darci started her blog as a place to share with her friends and family and now her blog has evolved into a site filled with beautiful things and useful info for brides to be!

brad and i got married on cinco de mayo, seven years ago!  so i thought it was appropriate to post a picture of us from our trip to mexico last year.

brad and i met in high school, but we were not high school sweethearts (although i had a crush on him the entire span of high school!).  we came back into each others lives at the end of college and have been together ever since.  right after i graduated college we did a 3 month cross country trip.  we camped, we visited every national park and weird side road attraction in our path, we visited friends and family, we survied our car catching on fire, getting our bikes stolen, grizzly bears (or my fear of them), hiking to the peaks of the mountains, getting stuck in the great salt lake, and only being separated for bathroom breaks for 3 months....we decided that we still really loved each other after all of that, so we could make it through anything together.  today, brad is still my best friend.  i am a homebody, so he drags me out to fun things and i love him for this.  he is the most wonderful poppy (liza calls him poppy instead of daddy) that i could ever wish for my little girl.  he is my other half.

happy weekend everyone!  here is a quick post of two adorable sisters!
