-We're both Boise born, and Treasure Valley raised (so you've found the magical Idahoan unicorns)

- We have a 5 year old boy who keeps us on our toes & a baby girl just as smiley as her mama

- We LOVE a good cup of black coffee! Hot in the morning, iced in the afternoons.

-We bonded over a mutual obsession with the ocean, despite being landlocked. We'll take any excuse to visit (hint, hint!)!

quick facts about me

- #tacotuesday should be #tacoseveryday - we LOVE a good authentic street taco (or 10) with extra lime & cilantro!

- The need to eat healthy met our obsession with pastries, and Sydne's love of baking was born.

- We LOVE Coconut Bliss Ice cream - in particular, their Chocolate Peanut Butter and Chocolate Hazlenut Fudge. You can thank us later ;)

-We're netflix junkies - Sydne won't say no to a night of ice cream and binging our favorite shows (Friends, HIMYM, Gilmore Girls, White Collar)

and our favorites

OUR style

I have an obsession with all things bright, airy & romantic, and my taste in home decor is about the same!
I'm a total sucker for a great 'modern farmhouse', and hope we'll get to live in one someday. I wholeheartedly blame Joanna Gaines.
I LOVE bright colors, just as much as I love dreamy neutrals! It's a constant battle.

Joel's go to

 I fell in love with the power of the lens at age 12... And then my mom - my own Lorelai Gilmore - got sick when we were fresh out of high school. During a stretch of remission, she planned Joel & my wedding in 12 days. The day was perfect. Beautiful. Intimate. 
Our only regret?
 The photos, while cherished, are amateur. Worst of all, we don't have a single image WITH her that's worthy of a frame. And ALL of our family photos are blurred. Many of those loved ones are now in their heavanly home. That's devastating.
I do what I do so that you can hang onto these moments.

places to visit

Our favorite

The days are sunny and 80, evenings filled with neighborhood barbecues, bounce houses for the kids, games and laughter.

Fresh mangoes, melon and local berries. Oversized salads, late night stops at the taco truck, and iced coffee on the greenbelt.

Weekends spent at weddings & on sessions with the most beautiful light of the year.

Doesn't get better than that!
