A brief history of how She and He became We and made two more to become Us.
1999 - He sees Her for the first time as she walks into a gathering of friends. He (seriously) tells his friends that night he’s met the girl he’s gonna marry.
1999 - He and Her go on their first date to see Toy Story 2 (seriously).
2001 - He hikes with Her to the top of rock in Joshua Tree National Park like they had done many times before…this time he kneels down on the rock and asks her to “complete my life and be my wife.” (seriously)
2002 - At the ripe ole age of 18 and 21, She and He vow before family and friends to be We from that day until our last day.
2002 - We photograph our first wedding together and officially launch The Image Is Found Photography.
2003 - SURPRISE! We quickly become Us when our daughter Grace is born 12 days before our one year wedding anniversary.
2006 - The three of Us move into our first house in Southern California.
2008 - The three of Us became the four of Us with the birth of our son Jasper.
2012 - 10 years after She and He said “I do”, the four of Us went back to Joshua Tree National Park to find the rock where he got on his knee and proposed to her so we could renew our vows.
2012 - Stressed and overwhelmed with trying to keep up with the break neck pace of Southern California, We call a timeout on life, sell our house, close our physical studio location, and move to the tiny mountain town of Idyllwild to retreat and renew at a cabin in the woods.
2013 - We photograph a wedding in Nashville, TN and fall in love with the city.
2014 - We return to Nashville for another wedding. Sitting in the airport before flying home, we acknowledge to one another that we were flying away from a city that had everything we'd been looking for.
2015 - A few months later, We pack all our belongings into a 26” moving truck and head onward and eastward to our new home in Nashville.
2017 - After living on the road on a two month road trip full of an equally large amount of miles and soul searching we make the final stop of our trip at our best friend's home in Kansas City, MO. Long story short (ask us about the long version anytime) by the time our time in KC was up, we purchased the home next door to our best friends (and conveniently all our kids our besties as well) and moved in a couple months later.
2021 - After 6 years in the Midwest, we were aching to get back to the wide open spaces and outdoor-centric lifestyle of the West. Our daughter, now 18, was offered a position as a dress and outfit maker from one of our dear friends and environmentalist drag queen, Pattiegonia. Not ready for the four of Us to become the three of Us yet, we (yet again) packed up a moving truck and headed to our new home in Bend, Oregon. Now we’re so grateful to live in a place that no matter where in the country or world weddings take us, we’re always excited to be back home.
