Hey everyone! Summer has ended for most of you + I have not shared a thing (minus my instagram) with you guys. This summer has been one of change. We moved from NC to Texas, we've adjusted to post-dental school life, full-time freelance life, and Eloise, well, she's still a nut.

Let's just say life, while full of so many things to be grateful for, became rather crazy. So via photos, and quick blurbs I'm going to go through our trials, tribulations, + exaltations of the summer of 2016.

May:

Jerry graduated dental school and is officially Dr. Allen.
I finished the first installment of my Duke Kunshan University VR experience.
We ate our way through Paris.
I shot a story on sweet tea with the even-sweeter-than-sweet-tea Sheri Castle for The Local Palate.
We started packing up our humble apartment in Chapel Hill for the sweltering, cosmopolitan concrete jungle of Dallas.

P.S. There's a Youtube 360 video at the end of riding bikes through Paris if you want to see me acting like a fool.

June + July's adventure's are up next!

Earlier in 2015, I posted some film shots (you can find them here, here, + here) from our crazy family trip to Mexico in June + July. As we explored the state of Jalisco while visiting family, hunting for Raicilla, + sipping too much tequila. This post however, is more about the moments, the music, + the expressions (ok, + our love of tequila). It's about meeting family that we had never met before, it's about the music that feeds our souls, and it's about being together. Something that I wish upon everyone this Christmas season.

Video was the best way to document our adventure as if was full of music, color, + unforgettable experiences. Scroll through, enjoy the stills, and experience the three installments of our trip through these videos.
