Ten

Ten years ago we wed.

Ten days we drove in our little Honda Fit to celebrate.

Ten decades from now I hope I still get to hold your hand as I fall asleep.

Even if we make it that far, it will never be enough.

So I choose to live.

To live in the moment.

Always, here with you.

Ten.

My husband and I celebrated our tenth anniversary by exploring Nevada, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. We kicked off the trip with seeing a performance of the Love Beatles show and then headed east to get in touch with our inner John Muir. We experienced the Grand Canyon, Four Corners, Mesa Verde, Glenwood Springs cavern, a ghost tour at the haunted Stanley Hotel where Stephen King was inspired to write The Shining, the Denver Zombie Crawl, Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon and Meteor Crater. It was our first road trip. Our first of what will hopefully be many.

9 years ago!

Today is my hubby and I's 9th wedding anniversary. I thought I would share a photo from my own wedding day. Shot on film with a Hasselblad. My scanner is not so good and doesn't give it any justice.

First loves

16 years ago I shot these two kids in love in a park somewhere in the San Fernando Valley.  16 years later these two kids are still in love and are celebrating their 9th wedding anniversary today!

Happy Anniversary Shannon and Jose!

Thank you for always being there for me.  Thank you for always welcoming me to your lovely home and cooking the best tacos ever.  Thank you for having the 2 sweetest girls, Maya and Morgan, to play Beatles Rock Band with.  Thanks for being one of my earlier guinea pigs models for when my passion for photography first started. I love you guys.

I shot the photo above with my old Ricoh KR-10 35mm SLR film camera.  I even developed the roll myself and made prints in the darkroom.  Aaaaahhh.  The good old days.  This was my first legit camera and I still use her to this day.

Cheers to first loves and everlasting relationships!
