Lupines in the Spring

In a field near David's work, beautiful lupines pop up everywhere as the days become longer and the sun starts to shine. It's magical. After a photoshoot there (which you'll see on the blog soon), I had to take Tova for her own little photo session.

Som and Tik's Cypress Albums Suite

Som and Tik's Cypress Albums Suite is such a fantastic example of how to keep the design of your wedding day on your shelf for years to come. Before you even open a presentation box and see the first image, you have a color-setting for the wedding. I just love it. The Cypress Albums products pictured here are: an Iris Book with Presentation Box, 22 Matted Prints with Presentation Box, and a Disc Folio.










I design the album pages; the prints and pages are all printed at Richard Photo Lab; and then Cypress Albums crafts their beautiful products. These products are available to all of my clients, but I've also done some album design for non-clients. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested!

A Guide to Seattle's Best Southern Foods

We loved exploring Seattle's food culture so much after we moved here, but sometimes you just crave some really good barbecue. Or fried chicken. Or apparently, all things fried. After several disappointing meals, David and I have found our staple restaurants that give us a delicious taste of the southern foods we grew up eating. And some of them even exceed Florida's best.


Go check them out!
Bitterroot BBQ
The Walrus and the Carpenter
The Wandering Goose
Brave Horse Tavern (no kids allowed)
Ezell's Famous Chicken
El Chupacabra
Note: We haven't found good Cuban food yet. Tips appreciated!

Enjoy!

Buck's Ridge - Kettle Falls, Washington

This was a bittersweet reunion. David's uncle has a farm in Kettle Falls, Washington, called Buck's Ridge. Shortly before we moved to Seattle, David's grandmother, Betty, had joined two of her sons at the farm, moving from Florida. Everything was going really well until Grandma Betty started to become absent minded. After some tests, doctors discovered a fast growing tumor in her brain. Too old and frail for surgery, though still with plenty of spunk, it was time to enjoy her final days. Upon hearing the news, we decided to hop in the car and go give Grandma Betty some big hugs. We assumed at the time, and it came to pass, that this was our last time spent with sweet Grandma B. Loved her.




























Grandma Betty stayed inside to rest and nap while we explored the farm most of the day. I have a few undeveloped photos from our wonderful dinner all together at the table. Otherwise, we only have these sweet iPhone photos of Grandma B from that day:



And some extra iPhone shots:

It was a really special day.

Blessings,
Kallie
