Junghwa & Brandon | Cincinnati Wedding Photographer
There was no way around it. She was becoming anxious. They were running behind, and all the logistics of pushing back her hair appointment, changing locations, and moving people around were starting to overwhelm her. Junghwa made it through her makeup session by sneaking in phone calls between brushstrokes, and then she rushed off to…

Mount Tamalpais
I am not exactly an outdoorsy person. I am quite the opposite of the athletic, adventure-sports type, and I prefer to have internet and running water around as much as possible. But somehow, I rather like the idea of camping. It speaks to the quiet explorer side of me– being able to break routine, go…

Living Life- Chez Panisse
I haven’t updated my blog at all this week, but it’s a great thing, since I’ve just been too busy living life to report back about it. My boyfriend Ernie is in town for just one week for his birthday before he sets off on his army training for the reserves. I also have big…
