today, two years ago, i married my best friend. matt is everything i could never have even imagined that i’d want in a life partner. the way he lives his own life, the way he cares for us, the clarity with which he sees the world- these are things that never made it to the list i made in middle school that started with just, ‘good sense of humor’ although, i am happy to be able to check that off too! ;)
i cooouuuuld write a long sappy post, which i will probably do in the years to come but today, since we’re photographers, and since they say a picture is worth 1000 words, i decided to go with 7000 words in the form of new header images of our little family! check it out! (for you loyal friends in reader, click out please!) we’d love to hear what you think, which image is your fave and, of course, any compliments on stella’s adorableness will be much appreciated!
well friends, WE’RE BACK! we’ve been out of touch just for a bit while we moved out of our little apartment in buckhead and into our new (very old) house in the city! we’re so pumped about the new place- largely because we have a SEPARATE room for the office! we can literally shut the door on the computers and enjoy dinner without sneaking peeks at the status of uploading photos and hearing the pings of incoming emails- life is a lot more balanced now to say the least. ;)
OH. AND. ALSO!
we got a puppy! the short story is this- when we got married, matt and i decided we’d start looking into puppies around our first anniversary. well, that came and went and before we knew it our two year anniversary was looming and still, no pup. so we dove into the research and after exhausting every online survey suggesting ‘what breed is right for you’ (oh yes i DO take online quizzes!), we fell in love with great danes. a week or so of emailing and we found our baby, a blue pup with white feet, the biggest in her litter and ready to go to her new home. we’ve had a blast with her so far and even though i’ve touched more poo in the last week than ever in my whole life combined, she’s our new baby and we love her. :)
so this being said, we’re back into the swing of things and we can’t wait to share the images we’ve had so much fun capturing over the last couple weeks! until then, i leave you with two of my favorites (or three if you count the house in the background!):
something new has bloomed in the blog world and i am super excited to share the news with you! if you’re a twitter or facebook friend of ours you may have already heard us mention this lovely news but we still decided to give it a post. we’re that pumped!
last may (2008) we officially shot our first string of weddings as altmix photography. those brides that trusted us early on hold a very special place in our hearts and we still keep up with many of them even today! one such couple is bonnie & david. remember them? the wedding with herb and twig and feather bouquets? and a stunning handmade wedding dress and veil? yes, that was bonnie & david:
when we first met them we realized we had a lot in common and we’ve been excited to watch them get married and start their own business(s!)- we’re always so impressed by their creativity and ingenuity! for a long time now bonnie has played with the idea of starting a blog about their life- they are so interesting and full of ideas and ready to jump into anything- perfect blog material in my opinion! so i am ecstatic to share with you that she’s begun! and with all things bonnie does- she’s doing it RIGHT.
from bonnie: going home to roost is dedicated to a simpler way of life and focuses on handmade style and design. it features talented artisans, designers & eco indieprenuers. it also includes handmade how-to’s, recipes and whole-living tips to boot. its purpose is to provide daily inspiration and to allow its readers to feed their creative minds!
so check her out! you will NOT be disappointed, promise! leave her a sweet comment and be sure to check out her two etsysites! i leave you with the eggs she sent home with us last time we visited her- their little backyard chicken coop is quite idyllic and it produces wonderfully creamy, organic eggs that are almost too pretty to eat…almost! :)
