Getting Back on Track

Ok! So in the week I've been gone I've been in a car accident, discovered our cat had been bit & needed emergency surgery, started a barter project with a very talented local glass-paining artist , started a facebook page for the business & put my daughter in part-time day-care so I can focus more on my clients without her climbing all over me. It's been a lot of change in a short amount of time... feels a lot like wedding planning!

A couple photos of my car-accident!


I was turning right in the parking lot to go down the isle to park & she came from heaven only knows where to hit me there, which then pushed me all the way into the parked cars on the right... which then did the following damage, down the entire length of the passenger side. I am sooo thankful my daughter's car-seat was latched in TIGHT!

The Most Relaxed Couple Ever!

The first time I spoke to this bride, was when I walked into her Bridal Suite on her wedding day.

On occasion I shoot for companies other than myself. Often, when I am shooting for someone else, the extent of my contact with the couple is a phone call or two before their wedding day. I used to freak out with the process, but now I kind of like it. It leaves me open to really capture personalities without any sort of personal filter.

I have no personal agendas set for any one's wedding. I know what will make this flow & will make suggestions when we speak on the phone, but the true reality is that it is your/their wedding day. On a couple's wedding day I am going to photograph the moments of joy I catch through my lens & every single thing the couple comes up with... it's their time & money.

These are a couple of my favorites from their wedding:

Happy New Year!!

I hope everyone had a safe & happy ringing in of 2009!

The 4th of July is by far my favorite Holiday, but I really love the week between Christmas & the new year. In general, I LOVE the winter. I love balancing time between my friends, family & clients. This year, in my favorite week, I got to catch up with a lifetime friend in New York City.

It amazes me how little I actually enjoy the city for being the city... I'm usually wrapped up in working too much to just enjoy it. However, in the winter, I relish in my time spent in the midst of all the Holiday Chaos! I even handed my camera to a total stranger & had them take photos of my friend V (yes I really call her that), me & my daughter.

I hope your holiday season brought you as much joy as mine brought me.
