Despite the on and off gray skies, our time in San Francisco felt – for the most part – magical. I say for the most part because, well, there may have been a moment of sheer sadness when, upon our plane’s landing, I pulled my camera from my bag and saw the dead battery. And […]

Last Week: Portland (+ the Coast)
PET SHOP UPDATE: The response to our birthday celebration has been outstanding! So much so, that we’ve hit our earliest holiday sell-out to date for custom portraits (aka, the maximum number of paintings I can physically do before December 25th)! We have only a couple of openings left, after which, custom listings will become deactivated. […]
The (Week and) Week’s End
It’s been far too long since I’ve photographed our weekend (or in this case, our week, too!), and with our friend Kalli visiting from Los Angeles this past week, it was the perfect reason to get back into the habit. Well, that, and the warm weather we’ve been having! It’s always so good to see […]
The Week’s End: Kalamazoo
This weekend found us shooting to the other side of Lake Michigan – Kalamazoo! – for a quick overnight visit to meet our brand new, 8 week old nephew. Kazoo was bright, vibrant, and (lucky for us!) happened to be having the most perfect weekend weather the Upper Midwest has seen this year – and […]
The Week’s End
Since we spent our Christmas weekend in Cincinnati with Scott’s family (and Christmas Day here in Chicago), we packed up last Thursday and spent a long weekend visiting my family in Pittsburgh. It was the perfect time to do so, as the hockey season kicked off this past Saturday, and we were able to watch […]
The Week’s End
This weekend saw a whirlwind trip back to the old stomping grounds of Cincinnati to celebrate the 60th birthdays of my dear ol’ mom and dad. Happy (early and belated, respectively) birthdays to Ann and Dave! The celebration on Saturday night was held at the home of our close family friends where we noshed on […]
The Week’s End
After a long week for both of us and working later than I’d like to admit on Friday evening, Scott and I exhaustingly pushed each others’ buttons – poking and huffing over little, nit-picky things. We can see this clearly now, but at the time, we were pissed at each other. In his attempt to […]
The Week’s End
We hit the last work week hard. Scott had more than a handful of 4am wake-ups (I cringe!), and we acted as adults for an afternoon, discussing retirement with our accountants. To counteract the grown-up have-tos, we spent the last few days de-stressing. We ate heavy, sugary donuts for breakfast, watched live music in the […]
31
I know Scott wanted a no fuss, no muss 31st birthday this year (we properly celebrated his 30th with a hoopla last year), but we still stole moments from the weekend to eat cake, sing and be merry. Before we spread our picnic blankets at the Ravinia Festival last night, we squeezed in a few […]
The Week’s End
As a 30th birthday present, Scott got me a penguin. (A penguin encounter, really, but still.) It’s been a meeting thirty years in the making, and it has since been added to my list of Kim’s Life: Top 10 – alongside getting married to my dreamy man and the back-to-back Stanley Cup wins in the […]
