Last night we got to hang out with Ashlena and Weston and shoot some pictures of them on the beach on the day before their wedding. How exciting! Today's the big day for these two and we couldn't be more excited to get to be here photographing their wedding day!

How fabulous is the beach in Punta Cana!

Happy Wedding Day to these two! Can't wait to celebrate with you both! :)

One of our favorite things to do every evening is go sit outside on our deck while the bulldogs lay around and play in the backyard. The weather has been so nice this spring, and our deck and backyard is the perfect place to sit outside and relax.

A few weeks ago we brought out a quilt and spread it in the grass so that we could all hang out together (and us humans not get bit by chiggers!) We had our film camera out with us and took a few pictures that we love. One of our favorite film photographers preaches that the best way to hone your craft is to shoot your personal life. We've been taking his advice and making sure to photograph a few images of our every day life.

We treasure these!

That's Hudson's favorite toy in the whole word. He chews on it all the time. We have about 10 of these so that when he gets tired of one he can have another.

Wilma's dainty crossed chicken legs.

This is Cheeto - our resident bulldog that lives in the flowerbed.

The best bone holder in the whole wide world!

Yesterday as I gazed at my verrrry long to-do list, I couldn't bear to think of how long it would take to get through it. I was just about to admit defeat when I saw on iTunes that one of my favorite artists, Patty Griffin, released a new album yesterday.

Patty Griffin music is one of the constants in my life. I've been a fan of her for many years now, so much so that my favorite station on Pandora is Patty Griffin Radio. Something about her music just fits, for me. It's soulful, a little country, a little folk, with lyrics that make you think. She is quite an interesting artist, and if you aren't a fan, I really encourage you to check her out! If you don't know where to start, her most popular songs on iTunes are a great place.

Her new album is called American Kid, and it was the soundtrack that got me through the rest of my to-do list. :)
