My little brother got married yesterday and I’m beyond thrilled to be here in Lucca, Italy with Rob and my new sister-in-law Samantha! Last night we walked through the city and around the wall shooting a night session…here’s a peek at the happy couple:
I’m really glad to be back to this blog after taking a pretty long leave of absence!
There are a few reasons I haven’t been blogging this year, but it’s definitely in part due to the fact that 2012 has been overflowing with challenging and monumental seasons - one of which was watching my immediate family be rocked by cancer. So, to start truly sharing on this blog again, I thought I could get personal with you guys again, while supporting a good cause and posting an amazing image to boot. All in order to make what was hard news in the midst of a hard year a whole hell of a lot more fun!
Let me be quite frank - you should probably all know that my husband has gotten extremely fired up, yet again, about Movember. As I sit here writing, he is currently growing out one of the creepiest molester mustaches I have ever seen. And if that isn’t something to aspire to…well, I don’t know what is. Please consider supporting his team: Yes Mo Can!
To leave you with a smile on your face and possibly give you some inspiration to support Movember, here is an image of my good friend Bubba from his recent wedding to my Mini-Me, with his baller Lone Ranger father…

Welcome to a quick peek into Tala and Cody’s charming destination wedding in the countryside of France at Chateau Forge du Roy.
We traveled out to meet them at this amazing venue on a train out of Paris, where we were working for the last half of the summer. I’ve been holding on to their images since August, as I planned to share their wedding in a blog post on our new Bound By blog - but thought I’d go ahead and sneak these few over here while we’re working on the launch. Plan on checking back for more sneaks of shoots from the last few months that I’ll be posting on this blog over the next couple weeks. And get excited about the Bound By blog!
In the meantime - congratulations to the lovely couple, and ouvrez vos livres…(this is the only French I know)…
So, here’s the deal: I’m not a lifestyle photographer by any means, but every now and then I take sessions for existing clients.
Emily and Matt are a couple who I’ve come to cherish more and more - I couldn’t be happier to call them my friends. When they got married three years ago, I never foresaw the huge blessing they have been to me. I was honored to shoot a family session for them this summer and document the beginning of their journey with Addie, who posed flawlessly at just 7 days old!
Even though these images are a far cry from my typical work, I kind of adore everything about them. With all that said, may I introduce you to Miss Addie Coe!
Congratulations Emily and Matt! I’m so excited for you guys. All my love to the new Coe Family!
This is a contender for most favorite image I’ve shot so far this year…YEP!
This behind-the-scenes picture of our team for a recent fashion shoot in SoHo, gathered together on our terrace at The Jane Hotel, makes me so happy for all the right and wrong reasons. I absolutely adore this photograph, all the ladies pictured, and all it represents on a personal level. The creative forces and kindred spirits are easily seen and the connections between these young women take over the frame. They had all just met that day…one of those unicorn moments in the industry. I couldn’t have been happier and I’m smiling as I post this!
Love it. Love them. Loved the whole day. To me - this image is EVERYTHING…
And another fave for good measure:
I’ll just be honest here. We’re prepping for almost two weeks of traveling and incredible whirlwind shoots…which means I’ve temporarily hit a wall and am avoiding packing. SO, this post of images I stumbled upon a couple days ago can be chalked up to a procrastinating effort…
