A Sparkle in Paris | Sep 20, 2016

Eiffel Tower lights beaming into our studio until 1 AM. Paris always surprises us, but nothing topped Suri asking, "Mamma, that looks like my birthday candle from last year. Doesn't it?"

Moraine Lake, Banff | Oct 9, 2021

A postcard come to life at Moraine Lake. Standing before that impossible blue water and the towering peaks just as the crisp autumn chill set in. Unforgettable.
