In this edition of the “must have” series, we’re sharing the top 10 most used items for our 3-to-6-month-old baby. Time sure does fly and wow baby’s grow and change quickly. Hopefully this list will be useful to a few of you out there. Enjoy! Portable High Chair Living in a small apartment? Going camping? Constantly on the go? This high chair folds up and can easily be thrown in …
Shopping for baby can be quite an overwhelming task. Who knew there could be so many options for… well everything? Erica is the researcher in the family and she poured hours into blogs and product reviews searching for the perfect items. I (Dave) decided to return the favor to the baby blog world and offer up our findings. In the first 3 month’s of little Coen’s life, a few items …
In a couple hours, Erica and I will be setting down in Colombia, South America for a video and photography project. The photo above shows a few items I like to have on hand yet don’t get a lot of credit – especially when we travel. Whether keeping us better organized, shedding a little extra light in the dark, or needing an extra strap to tie down pretty much anything, we …
A few days ago, Erica posted about our morning at the Tidal Basin looking at the cherry blossom trees in full bloom. While Erica snapped away, I shot some video clips on my iPhone 5s and gave the slow motion feature a whirl. It’s amazing what you can capture with a device you carry in your pocket, and I often forget I have these tools on me at all times. …
Work & Faith is a National Community Church gathering of professionals on Capitol Hill who meet once a month to dialog about faith in the workplace. Our good friend Susan leads the group and does an amazing job! Erica and I have become regular attenders and always enjoy the early morning coffee, bagels, and conversation. We’d definitely recommend it for anyone in the DC area looking for a good networking …
2013 was a year of travels. We are blessed to have such amazing friends, families, and clients around the country and world. This year we decided to share 13 cities in 2013. We asked my brother Chris, a graphic designer, to help out with the card (you might remember his work from last year, see it here). We wanted to share our experiences with everyone and knew that a card …
In Spring 2013, Erica and I were contributors to the Bittersweet Zine on the topic of Teen Pregnancy. We had the privilege of highlighting a few organizations for the Zine who are working with vulnerable children and making strides toward breaking cycles and addressing needs. One organization, The DC Promise Neighborhood Initiative (DCPNI) asked if we could make a commemorative video for an elementary school closing down in the community of …
In 2012/2013 Brandon Bray and I created a short documentary called “Let Us Begin.” The film chronicles the recalibration of the Porter family, after their lives are interrupted by Debbie Porter’s diagnosis with Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) on May 18, 2009. At this time, there is no known cure for ALS, and while life expectancy of an ALS patient averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis, those …
A few weeks ago I posted about a film shot in Panama. These photos/videos give a quick peek behind-the-scenes of the production. It’s amazing how many stories you create while filming in another country. I only wish we could share them all with the audience. The final product is only a fraction of what we experienced, and unfortunately, the film is only a fraction of the footage we shot. May …
In May I had the opportunity to travel to Panama City, Panama to work with a great organization called ANA Panama. The acronym ANA comes from the phrase “Ayudando Niños Abandonados” meaning “Helping Abandoned Children.” The organization provides homes with two house parents where up to eight children can stay and live as a “family” – a concept that many of the children have never experienced. To learn more about …
