Today is our 12 year wedding anniversary!

I can’t believe it’s been 12 years since I walked down the aisle with Brian crying up front :), and me smiling the biggest smile ever. What an intense road it’s been. At times we didn’t know if we’d make it, or how we would make it. But I’m so glad we never gave up and kept calling the family counselor. We are truly reaping the rewards from 13 years of prayer and marital counseling (yes, I did make Brian start when we were engaged. But you aren’t that surprised. :)) With all the travel we’ve got happening, we’re going to escape a few blocks away to a quiet restaurant for dinner tonight. Before I say anything more, “I love you honey. No one could ask for a more wonderful husband.”

In the midst of our anniversary, I’m excited to share a special interview podcast with you. I feel like it’s perfect timing for today because this interview isn’t so much about our “photography techniques” but more the stories of what has gone on in the background and how we got to where we are.

Scott Anderson, producer of FOLIO, asked if he could interview us for his podcast. I love the subtitle of FOLIO. It’s “Conversations with Creatives”. And that is exactly what this was. Brian and I tucked the kids into bed, Scott called us and for the next hour we had a rich and wonderful conversation about living a creative life. Scott focused a lot of the interview on our daily life, the “glue”, that keeps our family going and the business growing. We talk about Sony and some of our Thailand stories which was a blast.

Scott has a handful of great interviews to listen to. We hope you enjoy not only the one with me and Brian but the others too. And I have to say, I especially like the thoughts Brian shared toward the end about being a dad and the demands/wants a dad has. That part almost made me cry.

SPECIAL NOTE: Just to be sensitive to all those who may listen, this is an interview to enjoy when young children aren’t around. I share some pretty heavy things about my past, and I wouldn’t want those little ears to hear something that is to old for them. Thanks for understanding.
