Behind every great photo is that funny moment where you have to stop and see if you actually got the shot! These candid images capture and me standing in our Grover Ridge kitchen, huddled over a little red digital camera to check our pictures. Surrounded by the comfort of our home, it is a quiet, unposed glimpse into our process of making fun memories in Wildwood.

I really love this picture from our trip! It was such a sunny day in California. I felt so happy wearing my denim vest and that floral dress. Standing next to that cool old gold car made me feel like I was in a movie. The palm trees and that vintage motel sign in the back are so pretty. It was a perfect afternoon for a drive and just seeing all the neat sights along the road. This memory makes me smile every time I see it.

The Moran House was originally heated entirely by its multiple heavy masonry fireplaces. Richard taught me so much about the structural engineering of the central chimney stacks, which were carefully designed to draw dangerous smoke up and out efficiently while radiating warm heat back into the living rooms. The large decorative mantels surrounding the fireboxes feature beautiful, hand-carved woodwork that serves as the perfect, historic focal point for the main gathering areas of the home.
