    • ladies!!! @ruralreclaim is a new instagram shop that my girl @wrecklesscreative recently opened. pretty vintage thrift finds curated and catalogued with information on materials and sizing. every item is full of character and the photography work/feel is fantastic (of course). I suggest clicking over to see what my oregonian bff is working with: @ruralreclaim
    • but one day he woke up and saw everything in a better light. the cleaner, clearer light of the morning. and there, without a pause, he reached inside his chest flipped the switch and turned it off. and that was it. #soitgoes #vscocam

    • photographer friends! today is the day that we unveil our baby. her name is "boomerang" and she is a gem. for 7 years we were frustrated with the proofing solutions that the industry was providing us with. this is our answer. head over to boomerangproof.com and see what we're working with. and while you're there, hit us up on FB and twitter too! I can't even BEGIN to tell you how ready I am to get this into everyone's hands.

    • I shot a wedding in virginia this weekend. this was the backdrop but the people I met were even more beautiful. what an encouraging weekend. also, it was one of the top 3 receptions I've ever been a part of as evidenced by my vine overload last night. #vscocam
    • “according to most philosophers, god in making the world enslaved it. according to christianity, in making it, he set it free. god had written, not so much a poem, but rather a play; a play he had planned as perfect, but which had necessarily been left to human actors and stage-managers, who had since made a great mess of it.” - #chesterton #vscocam
    • slow spring mornings with little gusts of warm air blowing through empty apartments and the sun stretching shadows across walls and over floorboards and whatever I'm into at the moment playing through a set of speakers. there aren't a lot of feelings that feel like this. #vscocam
    • I think hope has a right to know what she's up against. #vscocam

CURRENTLY

HEY EVERYONE, COME SEE HOW GOOD WE LOOK!
we’ve been so busy in the studio that i haven’t had a chance to update the blog in a minute, so that’s what i’m doing.
this is what we’re currently doing.

currently watching: nate and doug play ping pong. nate is holding a half eaten pear.
currently reading: texts from seniors and brides about getting us to shoot their stuff. also, some kurt vonnegut in our spare time. (see instagram.)
currently listening to: nate call doug an idiot for thinking his pear was an apple, and also to j. tillman, the everybodyfields, and big tree.
currently excited for: the weekend! i (amber) am getting hitched to this kid. (he’s been wanting to make an appearance on the blog – here you go, ralph.) maybe it’s just me who is excited for that, but i think the guys are too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hope you all are having a perfect wednesday.
okthxbye.
