Happy day two of 2012! We've been in Orlando with Jeff's family since Christmas Eve, which means that 2012 has so far been whole lot of poolside sun with a ton of Grandma's cooking and a side of sleeping in. Not too shabby. I hope you enjoyed these two posts...
Happy New Year everybody! How fast did 2011 fly by?? I felt like it was yesterday everybody was wearing those funky 2011 New Year's glasses and all of a sudden they turned into 2012. Sheesh. To keep in the party mood, let's ring in the new year with a party...
'Tis the season of baked goods overload - pie madness, cookie overkill, brittle surplus, and candy, candy, candy. Everyday has brought a new package to our doorstep from friends and family filled with more sugary goodness. My poor stomach muscles don't stand a...

I just couldn't resist posting this after our engagement session with Richie and Kathy yesterday in Newport. Me - "Ok guys, stand together holding hands and facing me. I'm just gonna take one last quick shot..." Jeff and his feet slipping into my frame - "Can I be...
For wrapping, wrapping, wrapping and baking, baking, baking! This week, Casa de Youngren was turned upside down into Casa de Santa. Kraft paper lying across tables, ribbons strewn across the floor, twine wrapped around the tree, peppermint flying every which way,...
For the past month or so here on Recipe Sunday, I've been raving about my favorite holiday foods - mostly stuffing, stuffing, and more stuffing. But there's one food that was never on that 'favorite' list. Because I hated it. Yams. Ick. Icky, ick, ick. They were...
We got an email on Wednesday from one of our amazing clients-turned-life-friends - for whom we've photographed her two daughter's weddings (Lizzy and Steph) and her 25th wedding anniversary with her hubby - with a photo attached that said: "Just noticed that all...
I know you've all been waiting with bated breath and whisk in hand over the last month for this week's Recipe Sunday to post... and the wait is finally over. We have the third and final installment of Rachael Ray's Thanksgiving in 60 Minutes menu to share with...
