I love when people ask me how my passion for photography began. I took a year “off” after my first year of college and traveled to China, Peru & Russia with a non-profit. For some reason they trusted me with their camera. I mean, I took a photography class in high school and Photoshopped myself into a picture with Josh …

It’s past midnight & our cab is arriving at 4:15 a.m. (bad time to be a night owl). I had to send some love into the blogosphere before we depart. We are off to the Philippines! Thank you to EVERYONE who helped make this trip possible. Follow our adventures on Instagram (@carlylovesamos, @amoslovescarly)! ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• The island of Bohol was recently …

We have some exciting news we’ve been dying to share with you… We’re moving! Almost everyone who’s walked through the door of our studio has said, “Wow, you guys should live here!” Well, that’s been secretly in the works for quite awhile and we’re excited to officially announce that we are moving into our studio! Our excitement level is at …

A block away from our studio, there’s a brand new public swimming pool. Last summer I walked Kita by there most every day for her potty break and envied all the nice people sunbathing and giggling. Then I would cue Kita to take a dump in front of them just out of spite. Not really, but that would be awesome. …

•••••UPDATE••••• Thanks to everyone who submitted! We loved hearing your guesses, a lot of which were our guesses, too! Here are Kita’s official results: A lot of you guessed Lab & Chow Chow, but no one guessed American Eskimo (we didn’t either!!). Her stripes lead me to believe she must have something else in her. :) But the official report …

So, Amos grew a small forest on his face. Since sometime in 2011 he’s had consistent stubble, but this winter he decided to full-on grow that sucker out. Pure manliness. With spring near, he’s been having the itch to shave that puppy off. (You could literally make a stuffed puppy out of it now that I think of it.) I …

  We were so happy to spend a week in Florida with my (Carly’s) dad, mom & brother! It was all play and no work (…kinda weird!). From the pool to the beach, we literally relaxed for 7 days straight – it was so unlike us, and so glorious! Sanibel Island has been one of my parents’ favorite spots over …

HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRIENDS! Wow, 2012 was pretty dang sweet. Thanks to all of our awesome clients, near and far, who made our job so FUN. We love ALL OF YOU, clients or not…even if we’ve never met. :) Here’s to a kickin’ 2013!

This year has been full of fun travel! We’re so thankful for the new experiences we’ve had together, and for the awesome times we’ve had with rad clients. While in Seattle for Jefferson + Alyssa’s wedding, we had time to do some exploring. Instead of staying in a hotel, we opted for AirBNB.com, where you stay in someone’s house. Sound …

Hi friends! We’re super pumped to be part of an exciting adventure our good friend, Gary, is going on in March. Gary will be joining a small team that is climbing to the Base Camp of Mt. Everest. Specifically, he’s going to photograph the journey of Elisha, a teenage boy with down syndrome, who’s making the trek with his father and …
