A little over a month ago I was shooting at a location in Holly Springs, Ga. As I was headed home, I spotted a sign pointing to Peach State Orchids. The sign said “public welcome”, so I stopped in to check out the place. I’ve always had a thing for orchids. It’s a thing that...

Mondo (land planning & design) - people, places & things
When I am crazy about something, I love to share it, shout it from the rooftops and pretty much let everyone around me know all about it. That is exactly how I feel about Melissa Casteel and her talented landscape architect self. Melissa is the owner and brains behind Mondo Land Planning & Design. We...

Springtime Kicks
Garrett and I were feeling kind of retro during a recent family shopping trip. He and I both picked ourselves out some shoes at the Converse store. I think Target sells Converse now too. I love these slip ons for days when I am feeling geriatric with my fashion. They are also perfect to wear...

The Crumpler - people, places & things
Always on the search for a killer camera bag, I have been interested in Crumpler for a while. I’d seen them on other blogs, in advertisements, etc and so on.
