❤️ Happy Family Day from Our Blended Crew! ❤️

We’re a blended family—which means different opinions, different preferences, and plenty of learning moments along the way. But at the heart of it all, we’re in this together. We show up, we compromise, we support each other, and we grow. 🌱💛

Taking a family portrait once a year has become a special tradition for us. Life moves fast, kids grow, and things change—but these photos freeze a moment in time, reminding us of who we are right now.

So here’s to every kind of family—the ones we’re born into, the ones we build, and the ones we choose. May your day be filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of togetherness!

📸 Mountain Bike Photography Workshop Recap! 🚵‍♀️🔥

What a ride! The first two parts of the .sirens x Mountain Bike Photography Workshop were an absolute blast. We kicked things off with a classroom session at Adidas’s brand-new downtown store, diving into the fundamentals of action photography—from camera settings to composition techniques. Then, it was time to hit the trails! 🌲📷

Our field session brought everything to life as we put theory into practice, capturing riders in motion, experimenting with angles, and refining our shots in real time. Seeing the creativity and progression from everyone was seriously inspiring! 💡✨

But we’re not done yet! Attendees, stay tuned for the follow-up session where we’ll custom print YOUR best shots onto Adidas merch—a one-of-a-kind takeaway from an unforgettable experience.

🚀 Huge thanks to everyone who joined us, and to our amazing partners .sirens & for making it all happen!

Adding a headshot station to your conference isn’t just a great perk for attendees—it’s a lasting, high-value takeaway that professionals truly appreciate. Whether they need a polished LinkedIn update or a new team photo, we make sure they walk away with an image that represents them at their best.

When your friend is known for tackling the gnarliest North Shore terrain on a custom rigid single-speed, but you just happen to capture him riding a full suspension bike... and then post only those photos. 😉

Here’s , the mastermind behind MEATengines, Andrew’s “human-powered mountain bicycling journal,” in a rare moment aboard a full squish bike. Don’t worry, Andrew—we promise these 3 photos are the exception in a gallery of countless others where you’re crushing it on your rigid single-speed. (We’re totally not the friends who’d cherry-pick the other shots. 😅)

Joking aside, it’s a privilege to ride with Andrew, benefit from his deep knowledge (and many opinions) of the sport, and support his amazing work with photography from time to time. If you’re not already following MEATengines, you’re missing out on insightful, witty, and raw mountain biking content. 🌲🚵‍♂️

Boo!!

Making your own Halloween Costume is rad! (Sure it’s not cost or time efficient). Gwenyth designed this Soccer Raptor and made (practically) the whole thing.

She learned how to sew.

Partway through we realized she’d made a black hoodie ;-) but now, if she ever needs this skill, she has it.

So much quality time spent solving problems! Highly recommend!

Steve is turning 40 today!

Steve’s strength lies not necessary in his physical body, although he is able to sustain many a crash, but in his determination to follow his calling. Steve has a spirit that is forever hopeful and realistic. He is committed to trying new things and is always learning with a humble mindset.

Steve rejoices in living passionately!

Those who are lucky enough to know him are truly the beneficiaries of his inspiration, his encouragement, and arguably most importantly, his humanity.

Just keep doing what you are doing; you are great exactly as you are!

Love, Meg
life
