Lately: Photos and Weddings
**photo session giveaway details at the end!** Wedding season is officially underway and I’m currently booking for 2019! I love shooting these crazy events full of love, happy people, and sweet details. I’m such a sap. This is my first wedding season since I joined Humming House in 2013…I had to give up weddings for…

Fall Photo Madness
It’s been a beautiful fall for photography, and I lucked out working with some amazing families in Louisville and Nashville! One of my favorite perks of doing family sessions is getting to see how families grow and change year after year. Kids growing up, new additions to the family – it’s such a privilege to…

Goodbye Sweet East Nashville Home
Gather ’round and let me tell you a tale of house hunting in East Nashville in 2011. Back then, the only houses in our very very tight budget were in East Nashville. Our superb realtor Marcie Nash showed us houses all over town, but saved the best one for last: the house that eventually became our sweet first home in South…

2013 TN State Fair
Alright, this is the last post in our state & county fair series, which is really an excuse to bring you adorable photos of farm animals. Then we’ll move on to more contemporary goings-on in the LRL of late. The last fair we went to was the most excellent TN State Fair, which we think Goldilocks would agree is “just…

Wilson County Fair
This year we’re collecting fairs – we already wrote about our trip to the Williamson County Fair but we still have yet to post about our trips to the Wilson County Fair and the State Fair. Javi and I have gone to the TN State Fair every year since we first started dating, mostly to…

Williamson County Fair
Every year Javier and I make a trip out to the TN State Fair, which is usually held in September. This year we decided that one fair wasn’t enough, so we decided to check out the Williamson County Fair to see what it was all about. For us, the fair is all about seeing the…

Tennessee Falls
We had the best weather yet this year this past weekend – it was beautiful! On Saturday Javi and I decided to take advantage of the warm temps and cool breeze with a trip east near Cookeville to do some hiking with the doggos. It was a perfect day – sunny but not too hot…

No more cleanup!
We finished the landscaping cleanup!! I cannot believe how good it looks. We could leave it like this forever with nice clean patches of dark soil and never plant anything and it would be an enormous improvement to what it was. We had a jungle growing off the front and sides of our house, and…

They are alive!!
It has been about 3 weeks since we sowed the first seeds in our raised beds that we covered with the cold frames. As we mentioned in a previous post, this round of sowing was an experiment since it was way too early to sow anything without the frames. We were hoping for the best…

Fencing the garden
I don’t know about you but somewhere along the way we failed to teach our dogs to garden. I am sure they would be great at digging holes for planting, but I doubt they would dig exactly where I need them to. So in order to avoid any problems with the raised beds in the…

2012 TN State Fair!
The recent “drop” in temperature (I think we may permanently be out of the 90s!) and crisper morning air all signal the arrival of my favorite season of the year – fall!! To me, fall is 100x better than spring because I’m spared the horrific pollen allergies (though there’s still the dreaded ragweed) and the temperature…

Quick Trip to Monteagle
Over the weekend Javier and I drove to Monteagle with the doggos to do some hiking on the Fiery Gizzard trail. The idea was to break in our hiking boots before our Colorado trip and to try out some new hiking trails in TN. We’ve already hiked most of the greenways and trails around Nashville,…

Sun & Heat, you are hired!
After starting the garden and installing the hammocks in the backyard, we are spending much more time with Chupete and Choripan in the backyard. We would love to be able to spend even more time in this peaceful space, but Tennessee has decided to heat things up (quite a bit) and staying outside, even under…
