Stephen and I made a commitment that every year we would get on the other side of the camera at least once. What better way to do that than to have our own anniversary photos taken!
Read MoreWith all of our TréCreative travels, the first website we browse when looking for unique places to stay is Airbnb. Our first experience with this awesome company happened about four years ago in Colorado. We were traveling out there for an engagement session and it seemed like the perfect place to try out this site Stephen had heard about.
Read MoreIt’s Stephen’s golden birthday today! He’s 27 and for the last 10 years that we’ve been together, I have learned a lot of amazing things about him and his family! He totally won me over by his charm and caring heart. It doesn’t take long for you to realize how incredibly talented and truly creative Stephen is. There are people in the world who are naturally good at certain things. Those people embody what it really means to be an entrepreneur always dreaming of what’s next. Stephen totally exemplifies that and so much more.
Read MoreStephen and I had been looking forward to our Charleston trip from the moment Shawn&Lauren told us they would be flying us out for their East Coast destination wedding. So many of our photographer and videographer friends have raved about the beautiful sites, delicious food and amazing Southern hospitality. Our trip to Charleston was that and so much more!
Read MoreBreakfast has become our favorite meal of the day. It all started when we were first married. Three months after our wedding, I jumped in full time with Stephen to join forces. I had just graduated from college and quit my part time job. We had this routine that we would wake up at 6am and go to the gym before starting work. When Wednesday rolled around, we were both exhausted and wanted a day to sleep in past our 5:30am alarm. We quickly dubbed Wednesdays as our “date day” and we would go to a favorite breakfast place in our hometown of Chico or be adventurous and try someplace new. This weekly tradition lasted nearly a year. From then on, breakfast has always been our favorite time of day to go on a date when we get a chance.
Read MoreThe majority of last week was spent out of the office for an ongoing commercial video project we have in Napa, then a wedding following that in San Francisco. In between, we celebrated with a little destination aniversary trip!
Read MoreIf you would have asked us when we first got married where we would be, the lessons we would learn, the adventures we would go on, or even where TréCreative would be today, we would have probably laughed because of how silly our dreams have changed, or cried at the blessings God has given us in this short window of four years! Trust me, I’ll be saving a “four-year marriage lessons learned” blog post for another day because I could talk about lessons learned for a while!
Read MoreFear can paralyze you. Making you feel small. Making you want to turn and run away. Fear will always be there, it’s how you react to the fear that matters! I know this because that’s exactly how I felt a few weeks ago. If I’m really being honest, it’s often how I feel when making a new business decision or big personal decision. We all struggle with doubts and have fears to go along with them. Personally, I like to weigh the odds and try to know what my outcome could be. I often want to grasp for control instead of stepping out and just rolling with the situation.
Read MoreSan Francisco is such a dear place in our hearts. Last week, we gathered with over 100 leaders who are a part of The Rising Tide Society for a week of brainstorming and encouraging one another!
Read MoreLet’s be real this morning. Spoiler alert: we’re not perfect people and sometimes we fight! Hurting each other’s feelings, being misunderstood, not communicating well, those are all parts of any relationship and especially true in marriage! For Stephen and I, sometimes this comes up more than we’d like to admit, because unlike most couples, we’re together every minute of every day (almost)!
