Wedding: Stephanie & Bobby

There wasn't a dry eye in the church...Stephanie and Bobby radiated love! And, I was so happy to be there to document their special day. Jessica of Lemongrass Photography and I had tons of fun running around with them! They were up for anything...riding around in golf carts, lying on the ground, and climbing on tractors! And, both of their families made us feel so welcome and truly appreciated. It was such a special day! Here are a few of my favorites!

3000 visits!

It happened sometime last week! I'm so thrilled, and so exhausted! So, to celebrate today I plan to get outside, spend time with my husband and catch up with my friends! But, here is one of my favorites from the wedding I shot last night...


Enjoy your Sunday!

Portrait: Sweet Baby James

What a great start to my crazy quick trip to Chicago! This little one is the son of one of my dearest friends from college. We had a ball playing around and catching up. James was so fun to photograph, and a total trooper! Just look at this face...

For Fun: Chicago

This is one of my absolute favorite things that happens in the world of photography. I don't know if it's the way the light works or the way the eye is composed...but, I find looking deep into one's eyes to see the world from their point of view is one of the joys of life! The above image is just a fragment of an image I took over the weekend, yet it is so powerful!

I have much to post, yet can barely keep my eye's open! I will have new images up tomorrow of an incredibly cute little boy! But, until then I will leave you with some adventures from my very recent Chicago trip...




Thank you so much to Meghan for my roadside assistance! Yes Ally, we ran out of gas about 3 minutes from your house. However, we were very resourceful and resolved the problem in under 15 minutes...Many thanks to Meghan for finding the gas station, filling the container, and carrying it back to the car...many thanks also to the owner of the nutrition store who pointed her in the right direction, and to the nice man who instructed us in the art of removing the cap to the gas container...and, of course, to Saab who I was on hold with the entire time of this wondering why I ran out of gas 2 miles after my light went on!


When the car began to shake, screech, and come to a halt I was very concerned that I would not be able to make it to what I had been waiting patiently many weeks for...


Free to Succeed 2008 w/David Jay & Jasmine Star!


Jasmine Star has been a true inspiration to me, and one of the many reasons why I decided to start my blog. Her absolutely fabulous blog is one of the first blog's that I began to stalk. She is very inspirational to photographer's and enjoys passing along her infinite wisdom. I am so happy that we got the car "fixed" and me on my way so that I was able to see her in person all the way from the Orange County. She is a tremendous wedding photographer, and all around cool person!


Not only did I get to hear both Jasmine and David talk about their adventures in photography, but I also learned about a bunch of new products out there and how to make them work...watch out for slideshows...on the site, on the blog and on facebook!

I decided not to post the pictures I captured while on my drive home last night...3 hours, many thoughts of stopping at a hotel, 1 actual stop at a "no vacancy" hotel, and 1 redbull later I pulled into my driveway at 2:30am. It was a very fun eventful trip to Chicago...I am now a brunette...but, I am definately looking forward to bed tonight!

Portrait: Olivia & Maria

What a treat to photograph these two!  They were such troopers, and agreed to go on an adventure with me.  We had a tea party in the woods, explored an abandoned barn, and hoped we didn't run in to any snakes!  Mission accomplished!  I last photographed them when the youngest was just born!  I can't believe how quickly time flies!  Here is a sneak preview...

Wedding: T.R. & Lindsey cont.

These 2 didn't miss a beat when it came to the details...from the monogrammed Chuck's to the getaway car! They are 2 incredible individuals who had a magical day! I was honored to be a part of it. More to come!

Wedding: T.R. & Lindsey

This is just the beginning of the wedding images...but, look at these guys!  They are all siblings and were such troopers throughout the day!  Just imagine their holiday cards this year!  This first one kills me...I want to print it as a 24x36 canvas!  Whoa!

For fun: In action

I had to chuckle the other day when asked where my studio was...In my mind was my answer.  The truth is it's me, my Shootsac, and my SUV overfilled with goodies.  But, I love it that way.  No photo shoot is ever the same, and I get to experience so many different places!  It helps to bring the personalities out of the individuals I am photographing.  I do hope some day to have a fun place for clients to come and see all the cool products and display options available...but, for now this is what it's like...

...and, I couldn't be happier!  Picture a large stack of props and vintage furniture to my right...Greg asked me today why I use such old props...he is concerned our garage is turning into an antique mall!   But, that's what I am all about...vintage and whimsy.  Many thanks to Jessica Limeberry of Lemongrass Photography for this shot of me in action while photographing her little boy.  I can't wait to share the new pic of Jessica and I from the wedding we shot together last Friday!
