AN IMAGE FROM MY FAVORITE DAY AFTER SHOOT

admin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:01:06 +0000

Raw and intimate and gorgeous.

This is what can happen with incredible clients, a good relationship with and trust in your photographer, and some high-speed black and white film.

I love everything this image conveys. This was the beginning shot of probably my favorite Day After Session to date…

Geez, I can’t wait to start blogging this summer’s weddings…

THIS IS ME HITTING 30

admin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 18:14:36 +0000

I’m happy and healthy and joyful and adventurous. I may even write about being 30…tomorrow. I have some thoughts on all of this for sure. I certainly am blessed to have made it to this day.

This is me at this moment. So I love photography and traveling and my family and my husband and my dogs and my friends. I love where we live. I love to take random road trips through the middle of nowhere and stop to take polaroid and Holga images - and these are the most recent pictures of me. So thanks to Graham - this is me hitting 30.

And thank you God for keeping me alive ;) Thank you most of all for giving me life, life to the fullest. I praise you, my Creator.

There’s a wedding cake…and then there’s a WEDDING CAKE.

Here’s just a fun small detail from the fabulous cake featured at this past Saturday’s wedding. I’ll share more later - both the cake and wedding in full ;)

A JAMAICAN SUNSET - SOOC

admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 04:16:10 +0000

I literally JUST finished shooting a destination wedding in Jamaica - heavily on film. But I did shoot some digital images throughout the day, and as I’m obsessed with skies, I thought I would share tonight’s Jamaican sunset off the cliffs with you. Straight out of camera - no edits at all. It was unreal. Just gorgeous.
