Welp, we had ourselves another successful trip of epic proportions. Maui and all of it’s fine inhabitants are always soooo good us… thanks to all our pals on Maui who’s love and laughter keep us comin’ back for more… we can’t seem to ever get enough of you guys. We’ll be back again, it’s only a...
Welp, as Joelle would say, we’re off to “MOW-MOW!!!”… I think she’s even more excited than we are to visit our “home land” ;) We’re headin’ out again for what has become our biannual trip to Maui to lay low (take a breather from an intensely awesome wedding season), party with friends, and soak up...
This is what Joelle looks like when she sings along with her little cartoons :) Love this little hoodlum.
A couple weeks back, we hit up the craziness that is Chuck E Cheese’s with the Kaiser gang, and had these little images taken at some random photo booth among the noisy games and screaming children. We just love these two pics :) and display them proudly on our fridge. We’re looking forward to spending...
Remember when this New Years Eve goal-oriented “Polaroid Moment” happened at our awesome friends Nate + Jaclyns house party??? Well, consider that resolution conquered :) WE’RE PREGO!!! But my “Learn to spell mo-better” New Years resolution (iMpregnate) will have to wait until next year. So here’s the DL: we’re about 8 weeks along, heartbeat and size is spot on, Courtney is...
Here’s a few more images from the last couple weeks in Hawaii… which is always bucket loads of fun (but our time spent there is never long enough). Joelle was completely stoked on the weather, beaches and warm water. We’re so thankful that she loves the beach as much as we do :) We really...
Here’s what we’ve been up to lately on our Maui vacation: Joelle and the West Maui Mountains (above), and below Joey is throwin’ sand on our lens – awesome :) Love me some sandy camera gear. A few barrels here and there. Did some whale watchin’ Got up close and personal with a pod of...
It’s that time of year again… time for Team Christenson’s annual pilgrimage back to the motherland. Back to the place where Courtney and I lived, met, fell in love and got engaged… MAUI!!! The place that holds some of our dearest friends who are as close as family. This trips agenda is pretty much the same...
Here’s a picture of little ole Joelle being really cold up here in Oregon. We’re up here shootin’ a wedding (Jonathan and Hannah: ephotos, wedding preview) and celebratin’ an early Christmas with Gary’s side of the family in southern Oregon. It can basically be summed up using these words: frigid, copious amounts of food, movie watchin’, relaxing,...
I’ve been overly excited to write this blog post and create this slideshow (below) wishing my little lady Joelle Zoe a very happy 1st birthday. It all started when Courtney’s eggo was extremely prego, she made me a mix-tape with a bunch of songs about fathers and daughters (caught off guard by the surprise pregnancy,...
As much as we are lovin’ California, our adventurous spirits are still in Oregon… the land of never ending outdoor fun. We’ve experience SO MUCH in the Pacific Northwest together as a couple. Our first 3 years of marriage, birthed our baby up there, and had countless adventures in the snow, sleet, rain, and sunshine that we’ll...
We’re honestly lovin’ us some SoCal right now. Other than there being an intense heatwave goin’ on (which we’ve been FIGHTING IN THE FACE by lounging at the pool and dippin’ in the ocean), everything has been really positive and we’re starting to understand what our new life down south will look like. So far it’s...
Meet… Us. We finally got some images taken of ourselves that didn’t involve us using the TIMER function on our cameras :) We were totally stoked when the opportunity arose for us to get our mugs shot by Nate Kaiser from The Image Is Found - for a recent workshop they were hosting at their studio...
Well, we’ve safely arrived in SoCal and we’re getting our new house dialed in. It’s been pretty exhausting so far, but refreshing to finally be here. We’re soooooo grateful for both sets of parents who have been a tremendous help to us in this moving process (thank you Dennis & Marsha and Dennis & Laloni… we...
Well folks, it’s MOVIN’ TIME!!! Today marks the day that we relocate to beautiful San Diego, California. Where we won’t have to scrape the ice from another windshield ever again :) And where we don’t have to build a fire in our house everyday to stay alive during the 9 months of winter :) I joke… I...
It’s completely crazy how fast our little baby girl is growing up… it’s downright mind-blowing really. Anyways, wanted to share a somewhat gross cute shot of Joelle during lunch today. She’s almost 10 months old and is always just soooooo happy (except when she’s supposta be sleeping). Happy weekend everybody!!!
I was rummaging through an OLD external hard drive and found some hidden treasures from “back in the day”. I found gig posters, old t-shirt designs, CD covers, mp3′s, website files, and photo albums full of pictures from various midwest tours back when I was REALLY into the music scene (1999-2005). Come to think of it,...
(ABOVE: Downtown Seattle from Kerry Park. 50mm, 30 sec at f/22, ISO 100). Well folks, we’re still on our massive road-trip around the Pacific Northwest. We came up to Washington last week to shoot a fabulous wedding (pics coming next week), and we decided to take some time off of work to visit friends, family and some insanely beautiful locations around...
Happy Fathers Day to all you dad’s out there. You have the most important role to play in the entire universe – to be a good dad. So great job thus far, and keep on keepin’ on. One day (loooong down the road) you’re kids will actually thank you for it… even if sometimes...
