But I've hit an exercising wall.  ... http://hazelnutphotography.com/blog/running-well-running   It's rare for me to have as little interaction with a couple before the wedding as I had with Lauren & Brad.  They live in Chicago, so I didn't have a chance to really get to know them before I arrived on the wedding day.  Typically, this makes me nervous.  ... http://hazelnutphotography.com/blog/lauren-brad-the-wedding   I'm pretty much in love with Regina & Rowel.  They're just good people.  Kind and sweet and absolutely adorable with each other.  They're calm and roll with the punches.  They're donut lovers and brought a giant box of them to our session.  See,  what I mean, good people. We decided to ... http://hazelnutphotography.com/blog/regina-rowel-the-engagement   Hunter & Mark wanted a simple wedding.  A gathering of their closest family members at an amazing house.  An intimate and meaningful ceremony on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  And an amazing meal under the stars.  And they got exactly what they wanted.  There were just a handful of family ... http://hazelnutphotography.com/blog/hunter-mark-the-wedding   My mother is an amazing seamstress.  Her mother was an amazing seamstress.  I feel as if it runs in my blood.  So, a few months ago, my friend Jess & I took a sewing class and I fell in love.  We learned how to make pillow cases and I've probably ... http://hazelnutphotography.com/blog/taking-it-to-the-next-level   I get asked tons of questions about the albums that I offer to my clients.  Which company do I use?  What do they look like? All kinds of things, so I thought I write up a quick blog post. This album is a 40 page 12 x 12 album from Jennifer ... http://hazelnutphotography.com/blog/albums   I'm pretty sure these two people are currently changing the world. Not only with their amazing attitudes, sparkling smiles and absolutely genuine personalities.  But with their actions.  Chris met Jillian last year while he was filming a documentary at an elementary school in Watts.  She was one of those teachers ... http://hazelnutphotography.com/blog/jillian-adam-the-wedding   One of the hardest things about working for yourself from home is the lack of human interaction.   There's no one to talk to.  To swap stories with.  To lean on.  I didn't realize how hard it would be.  Chris would come home from work, after spending two hours in traffic, ... http://hazelnutphotography.com/blog/palm-springs-2010
