the sneakerhead bride

the photo was below taken by Q Avenue Photo  If you know me, you might think that the last thing I would have worn to my own wedding was a traditional wedding dress. In fact, a few years ago, I probably would have said the very same thing. The truth is that I didn’t have any…

the not so mushy-gushy & full of frills guide to a sneakerhead’s dream DIY wedding

Weddings and wedding photography can be overwhelming and sometimes arguably quite nauseating, so pardon this extreme moment of narcissism on my part if it’s not your thing. Let it be known that you were fairly warned before this wealth of pictures pushes you over the edge into the murky waters of a facebook rant about how…

London in Nikes

After spending 4 or 5 days in London, all I could think was–this place is huge! I averaged walking about 10 miles a day.

Killarney: Ireland Sober Is Ireland Stiff

Let’s talk a photo tour of Killarney National Park. It’s right next to the quaint city of Killarney in County Kerry. Founded in 1932 as a donation to Ireland, it preserves native forests and wildlife. It’s huge (25,425 acres in fact) and filled with tiny little roads that curve up and down the landscape. The…

not another box of chocolates

I think we all hate those mushy-gushy-corny-worny-heap-o-cheap Valentine’s gifts you’d imagine have been sitting in a Walgreens warehouse since they weren’t sold last February.
