Cleaning & Deleting

This particular Thursday has been dedicated to purging and sorting through the mess of clothes and pictures I seem to have acquired throughout the summer. Why do I need 5 pairs of hemp-and-leather 5 inch wedges and 200 photos of the chicken Mike & Anna served at dinner last weekend? In my (hundreth) attempt at organization, I salvaged just a few random out-takes.

Charleston Weddings

Our November wedding is in Charleston Weddings this month! Check out more pictures from the mag here. Love.

School Pictures

My friend Shannon drove down from Columbia on Saturday JUST to visit some of her old students, because she's actually bursting with love for them. When I walked up, they all hollered "MIZZZ COBBZZZ" and ran across a very crowded Church Street to hug me. We descended on the candy store on Market, drinking cokes-in-a-bottle, while catching up on all the good North Charleston elementary aged gossip.

Gelato/Headshots

Nat & Lily, our recently transplanted friends from LA, came over for dinner last night. They know everything there is to know about wine, laugh at all the right places, and indulged my burgeoning (struggling) night-time photography skills. 

Jill Hooper

This gorgeous woman asked me to sit for a portrait back in August. I haven't the faintest idea what she'll do with the painting, but I did get to spend a couple of sunny afternoons in the most incredible studio on Broad, with the warmest, most engaging, talented classical realist in all of Charleston. In between sittings, I'd wander around drinking wine and basking in the Northern light that floods the entire three room studio.

Also I found this under-painting of Tim in a corner! UNDER-PAINTING. This woman has skills, y'all.

(LA) Brea Tar Pits

Tim and I were in Los Angeles last week exploring our new territory. We rode around town in a white convertible, made friends with the locals, took giant hikes in Griffith Park, and *think* we sealed the deal on a little blue house in Los Feliz. But the BEST part of the trip was this visit to the La Brea Tar Pit Museum. It's an entire building dedicated to explaining and exploring the bubbling pool of asphalt in the middle of downtown L.A. I spent the better part of the day experimenting with my new Leica (formerly known as Tim's old Leica).

Also, MUCH THANKS to Tim & Hailey for the blog assist!
