my pact.

By | Personal | 7 Comments

watch out! three rockin’ couple’s engagement sessions for your viewing pleasure:

—

you know we’re photographers. you know about yellow bike. you know that matt thinks i eat too many pickles and that i think matt is a total stud. what you don’t know is that right now i’m in a bit of a crisis. this happens every year, twice.

i dig under the bed for my huge tupperware bins of the upcoming season’s clothes and what i find i might as well throw out the window. i did not wear these things! but oh yes i did. and now that it’s getting cooler and i’m pulling out the warmer clothes the thought of wearing these things again just makes me cringe.

you must know, i’m not a clothes snob, not even close. but seriously every time i go under that bed and check out what i have to offer myself for the upcoming season i just get discouraged. i wear boring clothes. i cannot even cover that up with the word ‘classic.’ really, just boring. safe. those are not the words that describe the clothes i really like, just the ones i end up buying. i have more soft cotton, solid color shirts than most of the population. i need to make a pact with myself this season, and in order to keep it, i’m sharing it with you: this season i will take risks and buy a few pieces that i just love, instead of filling the closet with more of what it already has. not a life-shattering pact, i know. but it’s time. thanks for listening!

netflix love.

By | Personal | 14 Comments

anna & ray, your wedding day was such a great celebration! i’m excited to post your slideshow!

___

it’s getting chilly out there. even in atlanta. we took yellow bike out last night and it felt like we were cycling through the freezer section at publix. which i’m never, ever, prepared for on grocery day. that is why there is no ice cream in this house. i refuse to walk down that aisle and subject myself to the torture. but anyway, it was just that cold outside last night.

for matt and me, this is the time of year for enjoying the outdoors but coming home to cuddle with a glass of red and a good movie. thanks to you, that is what sunday nights this fall will look like for us. thanks to all of you who, when we were considering it, left comments, emailed and messaged us glowing reviews of the joys of netflix. we love you. and netflix. it’s amazing and so are you.

for those of you out there not yet privy to the joy i speak of, we want you to experience it. netflix kindly sent us vouchers to give four of our friends (that’s you) for a free full month of movies and how perfect is it that you have to sign up before october 31st?! that means that as the weather turns officially into winter in the month of november you’ll have free movies galore to enjoy while the chilly air whistles outside. sound perfect? i think so. if you’re interested please drop a comment below or shoot us an email. we need to get these in the mail asap so waste no time!

also. matt and i seriously need movie ideas. we’re always overwhelmed on the netflix site and we would really really love it if you’d share with us a few good romantic comedies and action flix. although we must be careful with the latter, we can’t even watch 24 without matt demanding justice and speeding the next time he gets in the honda. thanks so much friends!

baby thoughts.

By | Personal | 10 Comments

watch out world, it’s a double feature! welcome to the gallery page lesley & michael and stephanie & jason! i’m so glad we got these shoots in while everything was beautifully green and sunny!

ever since jayci’s baby shoot i feel like all of the sudden babies are a bigger part of our lives. i’ve talked to more new moms and pregnant gals lately than ever before. this does not mean i am getting baby fever. so matt, i know you’re reading this, you can take a breath now. it’s still a scary thought for someone like me who cannot make dinner without something boiling over or go a day without hot chocolate, tiny dill pickles and some kind of cheese.

like many couples, matt and i talked about little ones before we were married. we agreed on a number and a timeline and that was the only serious conversation we had about it. subsequent conversations have involved: how crazy a child would look with matt’s eyes, my cheeks, matt’s torso and my legs; how, as an infant, little altmix will sport some kind of a diagonal fauxhawk and finally how we will trick him into liking good food at a young age. when i say we won’t have kids for a while it’s because we shouldn’t- at least until we find better reasons and stop betting on whose nose he’ll get.

just a few of my thoughts from today.
