Amsterdam in winter is a true treat. The streets are quieter, the city is sleepier, and there’s a general ‘merry’ atmosphere around December. Oftentimes you’ll wake up to a foggy morning, or if you’re lucky, a light snowfall. On even rarer occasions the Amsterdam canals freeze over and you can go ice skating on them, something I was fortunate enough…

Read the PostIf you’ve been following along on our journey for a while, it probably comes as no surprise to hear me say that I love Europe. Ever since I was young, I was enamored with the idea of living abroad and traveling to a different European country every month. Cities in Europe just seemed more romantic than anywhere else I’d been…
Read the PostLately we’ve been receiving a lot of questions about how we take photos and achieve a specific ‘look’. It’s taken time to develop our own unique aesthetic and it’s still constantly evolving. Also, it’s a joint effort! Jacob takes the majority of our photos and has a wealth of technical knowledge that I don’t. On the other hand, I edit…
