nib for a tail

I wonder how that orange cat got a nib for a tail.

Mojo is probably wondering how to escape to the outside world....

A boy can dream.

Except maybe, a whole basket of kittens!

Meet little Russell. He melts my heart! Gabe and May are the proud new parents of this handsome little boy!

Kira + Ed: married!

Remember Kira + Ed? They married a few months ago under the most beautiful canopy of trees and their guests ate dinner under the stars under a glass pavilion. Sounds magical doesn’t it? Everything about their wedding was just that. Magical.

Somehow, Kira + Ed made this gorgeous wedding happen in 4 short months! When their day came, they were so calm and easy going and so full of laughs! Their family and friends are some of the sweetest people we have ever met, overflowing with warmth and love. Because of them, Gabe and I were all smiles, all day.

Ed had some fun surprises for us up his sleeve. Him and his best man are hardcore Tetris players and unified their love of Tetris with Tetris cuff links. And if they never showed us their ankles, we wouldn't have seen their surprise socks!

Kira + Ed, thank you so much for letting us be part of your day, now can we go for some Chinese food soon?

not enough blueberries

Wilmot Orchards

.

the perfect berry

ready to be picked

.

A few days ago, we went blueberry picking at Wilmot Orchards but we were only able to stay for a bit.

We ate as we picked but we got rained out soon after and barely picked half a bucket. That's too bad because the blueberries were far better than any we have bought from the store. Hopefully we can go back for some more, soon.

Happy weekend everyone!

LC-A!

LC-A!!!

"It would be happier with you" my friend said.

I asked her many many times "are you sure?? are you SURE??"

Well, first I said "No! I can't take it!" but she insisted.

Being gifted a camera is a rare and beautiful thing, and I have a special fondness for the Lomo LC-A too. I borrowed it from Gabe some years ago and that was my first exposure to film photography. I was instantly in love.

I had always wanted an LC-A since then, but to have a friend drop my first love (in camera form) into my lap, well that is just my dream come true.

I am testing out my first roll right now. In the meantime, you can see my first LC-A photos here.

Thank you Yumiko! xo

This gorgeous pair was so easy to work with, they were really comfortable with each other even with a third wheel (me) around. You can tell they have known each other for quite some time.

Jaana & Tyler met when they were much younger at a skateboard park and they are going to have a beautiful wedding in the fall. Even though I really do not want this summer to end, I really can't wait for their wedding to come!
