Relaxing in the French Riviera
Closing out a two-week road trip through France, my husband and I spent three days exploring the French Riviera. We stayed in Grasse (the world’s capital of perfume) at the amazing La Surprise Bed and Breakfast and traveled out each day from there. Grasse is built into a mountainside along the Mediterranean Sea and while…
Authentic Hong Kong: Mongkok Wet Market
While visiting Hong Kong with a friend, we decided to ask the front desk at our hotel for suggestions on where to visit. We wanted something a little off the beaten path, a bit more authentic, and not the typical place they might send a tourist. He suggested we visit the local food market which…
A Local’s Guide to Denver
Like most in Colorado, Kimothy and I are not Denver natives. But that’s all the more reason for us to tour you around our now-hometown! From the daily view of the mountains to quirky shops and more local restaurants that our stomachs can bear, it’s no secret that we both love this city. An active…
Boutiques + Cafés in Kalk Bay

Port Wine in Portugal
When it comes to visiting Portugal, Porto often gets overlooked. Most people have heard and traveled to Lisbon but not many people know the beauty that is waiting to be discovered in Porto.

Ruins + Beaches of Southern Turkey

The Medieval Village of Cesky Krumlov
When we began planning our Europe trip, we knew we were flying into Munich and coming home from Prague, but the middle of the trip was wide open.

The Cambodian Countryside
Our two week trip to Southeast Asia was amazing—you’ve already read about our travels to Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok, but I have no words for how much we enjoyed Cambodia. During our time there, we enjoyed an indulgent and relaxing stay at the 4 Rivers floating resort – a hotel specializing in eco-tourism…

The Vibrant Streets of Seoul
Seoul is a lively city with quaint charms both hidden and easily found around every corner. Having spent a large part of my childhood there, I have a special love for Korea and its capital, where each district feels like its own city within a city. Coffee shops, restaurants, street food, boutiques, theaters and galleries…
Sailing St. Vincent and the Grenadines

We began our Grenada sailing adventure at the Sunsail Marina in St. George Harbour before moving on to St. Vincent and the Grenadines (a separate country), and then back again. Our first main destination of the trip would be…
Historic Bali Temples
We were able to travel to Bali when we photographed a destination wedding at a private estate in Uluwatu. We opted to stay at the Blue Point Bay Villas and Spa on the cliff above the Pantai Suluban break—if you are an avid surfer, this is the place to be! We loved how the hotel…
