Come listen.

Every spring hundreds of thousands of sandhill cranes congregate along Nebraska’s Platte River Valley to rest, refuel and breed, something they’ve been doing for almost a million years. Visiting family in Omaha, my mom and I awoke a the butt crack of dawn to see this majestic event of the natural world to see for ourselves what we’ve been hearing about for our lives. It was a beautiful thing to witness a small part of their life’s journey as they continue on their big trip.
Jennie & Josh eloped in Oakland city hall. They lucked out with a solid officiant that had a wonderful presence and dropped some nice wisdom about relationships. Who doesn’t need that!? The two mom’s flew out to take part in their special day as well and were giddy with how they had both lucked out. After the ceremony we went on a little adventure for portraits around Lake Merritt, Grand Lake Theatre and ending up things Sequoia Bayview Trail in Joaquin Miller Park. I got to see the couple’s awesome dance moves, eagerness to have fun and their burgeoning love.
