NICOLE + MAZ GOT MARRIED

and it was AWESOME. 

i was especially honored to be a part of this celebration because they were the first california couple to book JBM after we moved here in november 2014. needless to say, we were pretty stoked. not only are nicole and maz gorgeous (as you can clearly see) they have great taste and beautiful souls (not in that order).

thank you for letting me celebrate with you guys. congrats again!

Yosemite Winter 2015

seeing yosemite in the winter blew my freaking mind.

it's a completely different park from all the other seasons. ash and i got married in the valley in june 2013, so returning with our son 2.5 years later was a wild experience. we also traveled there with ash's parents. sharing a place like yosemite with the people you love makes it all the more enjoyable. they were really patient while i ran around taking photos and geeking out on nature. i even had the pleasure of snapping some polaroids on my old 250. 

enjoy!

THE BIRTH OF ASHER PHOENIX MURPHY

it's been a month since wolfy got here, so i thought it appropriate to share this little photo story of his birth. 

words can't express the range of emotions we experienced on november 10th this year.

first, i have to recognize ashley for what she went through and how she handled it. i already knew that she was strong, but watching her labor for two full days blew my mind. let's just say mother's day is going to be a VERY big deal in the murphy household. 

what you don't see in these selected pictures is that we were in the hospital for 72 hours. even though we went into it with a very specific birth plan (HA!), we couldn't be happier with the end result. he's here. he's healthy. he's the man.

adjusting to having a newborn has been an incredible experience.  the last month has felt like one long day, but it's been the best day of my life. just a series of intimate moments strung together by threadbare consciousness. we've never been happier.

happy one month of life, wolfy!
