We just got back from a fabulous trip to the eastern part of beautiful Canada, where we spent a week with Amy's family on Kaminiskeg Lake. It was the first time Maurice had the chance to meet our new niece Samantha, so it was extra special, since this was a place Amy's family has been going for more than 20 years. The pictures with the green deck show the view of the lake from the front yard ... spectacular and breathtaking and oh so peaceful. It was rather chilly the week we were there, so we snuggled by the fire playing board games and Wii and even made s'mores with coat hangers ... fun! One day we took a drive through the Algonquin National Park. Though we didn't see a moose, we found some amazing vistas and took a fun trek through a bog. Canada is a beautiful country, full of rocks, trees and water. The seasons are well on their way to changing up there, with a few signs like the leaves turning vibrant colors and falling to the earth. We hope you enjoy the postcards!

just in case you didn't know, we are available for family photography sessions in san diego and beyond. we are so excited to share some baby pictures very close to our heart ... of our darling niece samantha rae schulz, who was just 2 weeks old in these pictures. though she lives in pittsburgh, samantha is very internet savvy and skypes with her aunt amy all the time. if you've got a little one on the way and are looking for some fresh, modern family portrait photography, please give us a call!

We recently had the honor of shooting photos for the October 1st, 2009 issue of San Diego Style Weddings magazine. The photos will appear in the Urban Vibe Spread, featuring dresses by the San Diego bridal salons Here Comes The Bride and Elyse Reuben Couture Gowns. It was a super fun day and we can't wait to see the pictures in print! Maurice and I both agree that the first image is our favorite. Such a fun and playful wedding dress, and we just had to incorporate the theorie frames!

we wish you all the best this holiday season, that your hearts may be light, your homes filled with love, and may you find presents under your tree! from our family to yours, happy holidays!!!

i was so excited to open the mail today and see my first copy of the tao of lou! of course i asked for someone to model, and what do you know, mr. lou himself was more than willing to pitch in a paw to help. isn't he cute? gotta love that dog!

i just about jumped out of my seat, and yes, i actually screamed with excitement, when i saw our olympic bride, jaime hipp, on tv! she was walking in the opening ceremony, looking fabulous is her ralph lauren designed uniform. she was on the tv for about 15 seconds! how super exciting! i don't think i've ever known anyone else i've ever seen on tv, so this is all very exciting for me. and how serendipitous, jaime and her team posed for a picture together a little later on in the evening : ) good luck jaime and the rest of the team in your match against China on monday! we'll be rooting for you! go team USA!!!

my dog lou, he's very zenful. he's my master in many ways, most of them spiritual. he reminds me to take some time each day to spend with those you love, to always express sincere happiness when encountering people you know, to find peace and relax whenever a comfortable seat presents itself, and to never, ever miss a chance to go outside. i decided to celebrate his teachings by creating a little photo book with some of my favorite quotes from the tao te ching. these are but a few of my favorite pages.
