Daddy's Little Rose

Valentine's Day has come and gone, but the memories that last forever are those sweet moments that you cherish together with your family, spouse, friends, special person in your life, and of course, your children.

This Valentine's Day, we "celebrated" in the more formal sense of the holiday. Traditionally, we celebrate the holiday every day!  But this year, Khris wanted to do something a little extra for our now preschool daughter, Raegan.  She's very aware of the Valentine's holiday and Khris says, "I can't let some dude eventually out gift me."  He went out and bought our little princess some really sweet gifts, but the one that stands out to me most are the beautiful pink roses. 

From the photos below, we hope you get a sense of how sweet the memory of the holiday should be not only on February 14, but everyday of the year.

Here's to beauty in everything, living February 14 everyday, and being inspired by a Daddy's love....

TIMELESS GOES HOLLYWOOD ON HOUZZ.COM + RECEIVES 2015 BEST OF HOUZZ AWARD

Wow!  Unfortunately, we woke up really early Friday morning since our little toddler didn't have the best sleeping night (which is extremely rare), but fortunately the early morning rise was all the better once we received notification from Houzz.com that our design photography landed on their homepage!!  Can you say ELATED! 

We had no idea that a couple of years ago our dining room design would be so popular amongst a global design community such as Houzz.  Almost a year ago to the date, the same dining inspiration received the "Best of Houzz 2014 Award" and has garnered a "Best of Houzz 2015 Award."

With the Oscars and award season in tow, Houzz featured our design photo as inspiration to curate a Hollywood Regency style collection.  See story images below and click on links above to design your glamorous dining space.

WALTER MAGAZINE | THE 13 TREES OF CHRISTMAS

You can say we've been on a little bit of a sabbatical from blogging and such and this time of year always proves to be even more chaotic. As photographers, parents and people that love life, we are still learning how to balance work and life, but we think that's a never ending challenge that most of us continue to navigate.  Nevertheless, we are so excited about Christmas especially now that Raegan is almost two and just adores decorations, trees, lights, ornaments and really all things Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas, we are elated about our feature story in the current issue of Walter Magazine.  We were both able to shoot the gorgeous residence and Christmas collection for one of Raleigh's most spirited holiday homes. You may remember that we scored the cover and feature story of Walter last December, which brings a huge smile to our faces all over again:)

Founder and President of the Preiss Company, Donna and Kirk were both very welcoming and engaging as they shared stories, moments and memories of their travels across the globe securing each and every Christmas ornament along the way.  Every delicate and unique ornament had a story, which made our photoshoot incredibly intriguing.  We love to capture stories of people, places and things, but these lovely thirteen trees and accompanying ornaments hands down speak for themselves.  Take a look for yourselves.  There were so many to choose from, but here's a snapshot of the collection.

Just all around lovely!

Why not have a couple of decorative trees outdoors on your porch!

This was by far the most amazing upside down tree we've ever seen!

The storage and filing system for each ornament could be another photoshoot itself..wow!

No caption needed.
