MOA and B Photography

What the what people, it’s already August?! I sound like a broken record every month (and perhaps a handbag of clichés) but seriously, I need this whole time thing to slow down a bit – please AND thank you!

July was a super intense month for us…

Friends, it’s a new month. It’s summer. It’s hot (and apparently, depending on where you are it’s REALLY hot). I am always excited by the prospect of a new month, a new start, a mini-New-Years if you will. Like clockwork, you’ll find me being the healthiest of the healthy come the first of the month (sometimes I make it a whole month, sometimes a week). Speaking of being healthy (that means working hard in the gym and even harder in the kitchen, right?!) I came across an Ava Gardner quote last night that I had not seen in quite a few years and it resonated with me on a level it had not hit before:

“When I’m old and gray, I want to have a house by the sea. And paint. With a lot of wonderful chums, good music, and booze around. And a damn good kitchen to cook in.”

Confession: I’m a doodler – always have been, always will be. There have been times throughout my educational career that I had to implement a ‘no doodle’ policy whilst taking notes in certain courses, solely because if my notes were ever seen by a peer or professor my cheeks would turn quite red. Here we are in present day and B’s lists on Post-it notes around the computer tempt me mercilessly to jazz them up with an exaggerated cursive ‘M’ or succinct pattern, but I resist (most of the time).

So imagine my excitement when my sister-in-law asked me to fulfill my matron-of-honor duties with bridal party planning! It didn’t take much to convince her to let me design the invitations (score!). She put me in touch with her friends and mom and long story short, she gave both sides free reign of choosing a theme, etc. for the celebrations!

I need to address something that’s pretty important and special to our virtual space. For those of you that have kept up with us you probably noticed that we have added a few more colors to our pallette and pumped up our logo a bit to more accurately reflect what it is we are doing over here.

It’s important to me to note that adding additional colors to our mainstays of pale blue, green, and gray surprisingly became emotional. Those particular colors were our wedding colors – they graced every paper good imaginable, B’s attire, and even our cake was bathed in pale green (and of course pearls). In fact, if I glance around the house, our main living space is pale blue, the bedroom pale green with gray bedding, and even our iPad covers are blue and green.

Today started with coffee (as it should). A big white cup filled with hot coffee, no fancy extras, thank you. I sense this morning’s cup will quickly become two as the last few hours have been failed attempts to fall back asleep even though it was totally appropriate and socially acceptable to sleep in on a day off. Ugh.

That’s why it was a happy surprise to see B had carried up the new Pacific mag amidst the other paper mails that will soon find themselves in the recycle bin, no doubt.

We’re having so much fun watching MOAandB evolve into a place that allows us to share all of our interests while still being able to be behind the lens. It was only natural for our logo and brand to evolve too and we couldn’t be happier with the way things are shaping up around here!

Here’s our new lineup and a general breakdown of what you can expect from the new site:

We’re deeming the first day of the work week: MOA MONDAYS. It’s the perfect day to generate topical discussions, re-cap from the weekend adventures, and rattle on about silly things like youtube videos you need to see, what crazy event we checked out that turned out cool (or didn’t), etc. – pretty much whatever is on Moa’s mind is fair game.
