Remember, I wasn’t the photographer for the wedding and made a conscious decision to put my camera away so I could truly be in the moment. That being said, this was probably a dream to photograph because everything was really beautiful and the lighting was perfect for the entire day. So, here’s just a few […]

Putting the "Big" in Big Fun: Part I
I am the sole creator of the nickname BIG FUN, aka the Kelly Borchers/Tim Norris wedding that just took place this weekend. September 20, 2008 will go down as BIG FUN: The Night to Remember. Nick and I left Cleveland Wednesday night after work and didn’t arrive until after midnight. Although tired from the long […]
Take It As Fuel
I am, as the lovely Spanish language would say, EN FUEGO. I’m learning to turn rage, stress, anger, pissed off states, and frustration into fuel. I conquered my 3 mile run. Not since 2004, when I let it die on the streets of Heath and Boylston have I run a full 3 miles. Running isn’t […]
The Cordonnier Tears
Getting to know Nick’s family has been a blessing from the start. They’ve always welcomed me and made me feel so loved at every gathering, party, and celebration. After getting to know the two sides – Borchers and Cordonniers – I can now clearly see the differences in each and see how they influence Nick […]

No power for 36 […]
Rage Against the Bridal Industry
Sometimes is it a miracle that I have not researched how to plant a pipe bomb in an empty bridal shop. There are few things I loathe in this life, but one of them is the hell that is mainstream weddings. Now, I’m not talking marriage or civic unions, or love ceremonies. I am […]
Command…Or a Warning…Or a Suggestion
Never speak of USC again.
"Just Don’t Wait Until Winter"
One of the things that Nick and I have noticed about life in surburbia, Cleveland surburbia to be precise, is how often winter is referenced. We went for a long walk last night after dinner to breathe in the Autumn-like air, and I got to thinking of all the things I’ve noticed about our new […]
Since the Networks Aren’t

If She’s Wrong, I Don’t Want to Be Right
So Blackamazon has a thunderous piece entitled, “Wrong Woman,” and I think you need to get your fannies over there and appreciate her and her thunder. I love thinking about that though – what makes a “wrong” womyn? I am thinking back to all the ways womyn are deemed “wrong.” Womyn who… are raped are […]
