    Mr. Elijah Powell had the wonderful privilege of meeting Great Grandma over the weekend as well as several other family members. He has never meet almost all of Brent’s and my extended family. It is such a joy to show him off to everyone. Great grandma meeting was however my favorite. My almost 96 year…

    Elijah is four months old today, so that naturally (at least for us) means that a new photo be taken and Elijah gets his four month checkup. He is now just an ounce shy of 13 pounds and a quarter inch shy of 24 inches. He had some shots, which he wasn’t a fan of (and…

    Well, we had intentions of sending out a Christmas email to everyone, then that turned into a New Year email and now it’s a belated Happy New Year from the Powell’s blog post. Usually I go into depth about the adventures of the past year, and there were definitely some of those. We ran, of…

    Last month, we left the confines of Montana for our last big outing before our addition to the family arrives. The trip centered around two different events, a Seattle wedding and the Grand Teton Relay. In between the two, we spent time in Oregon with family. We decided that in order to maximize our time in…

    With each passing year, I grow to dislike the days surrounding the 4th of July more and more. I usually have to work, get up early for our church service or various other random events.

    Every summer Brent and I make it a priority to check out the local Shakespeare in the Parks plays. They always put on two free summer plays and travel throughout Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.

    As many of you have come to know, Jess and I are photographers and have lately been fairly busy taking photos for the side-business I started last year, thirtyfivemedia. So far, we’ve done family photos, company portraits, maternity shoots and weddings. The last one is the one that has consumed a fair bit of my…

    This post could also be titled “Brent finally uploads some photos!” We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful area. Yes, the winters can be long, but the wait is always worth it (plus winters are pretty too). Here is a smattering of various images from this summer.

    As I have mentioned before, my co-worker and I had the opportunity to take a tour of the City of New Orleans. Some of these pictures are from that others are from our own random exploration of the city. Enjoy the last New Orleans post.

    As I took a tour through the city of New Orleans, I could still see a lot of the disaster that Hurricane Katrina caused. People are still making their way back to the city and the lower ninth ward is still trying to make it back to being livable. I didn’t get a chance to…

    There were so many vibrant colors on the doors and windows in New Orleans. From the shutters to the door colors to the house colors themselves, there was never a dull view. The rundown places even caught my eyes.

    It has been over 3 months since I was in New Orleans. I have so many pictures that I still wanted to share. Take a look at these street artists. I loved it all from the music to the paintings.
