Come hang.
Mary and Laura are best friends for a reason.
Some of our shared interests:
weight training with Sydney Cummings Houdyshell
always somehow stumbling upon ladies’ drink free nights when we travel together
ALL styles of music, especially music that makes you want to dance
mom things
“When I was young, I used to love making quirky ‘movies’. Now I get to do that for a living.”

Laura is a mom of seven (yes you read that correctly) and wife to Jason.
I have always wanted to be a mom first and am living that dream alongside my secondary love of photography and videography. “When I was young, I used to love making quirky ‘movies’. Some of my feature films included horribly costumed interpretive dance videos, and ‘Toy Story 3’ (before they made a Toy Story 3) featuring my barbies and family dog, Ginger. Some of my best memories include creating these hilarious sequences on film with my sisters, and now today, I basically get to do that (sans horrible costumes and barbies) for a living.”
Some of Laura’s favorite things: Watching The Office or Expedition Unknown with Jason when the kids are all in bed, going to comedy shows and concerts, playing piano and singing with her dad and brother-in-law in their contemporary band at church, and road trips with the whole family.
“Life is too short to not be a little weird.”

Not nearly as jaw dropping as Laura, Mary is a mom to two handsome boys and a wife of almost 10 years to Troy.
It is weird to say that I may have manifested my life in 4th grade when I wrote, “When I grow up I wanted to be married with 2 kids, be a photographer, and live on the beach.” The only place I slipped up was the latter, because I am now confident in saying that the mountains call out to me more-so than the beach.
I like to think life is too short to not be a little weird and take some risks along the way. Calculated risks including, but not limited to: shark cage diving in South Africa, doing the Manitou Incline, and hiking Angels Landing.
Some of Mary’s favorite things: Taking road trips as a family to explore/hike national parks, going up north and disconnecting, teaching cycling classes, reading, and taking impromptu trips with Troy.
