Welcome to my blog
So this is a place I rant and rave, wear my heart on my sleeve, gush on my family, and most importantly share my art...the photo stories of wonderful couples and people I cross paths with. Don't be afraid to bookmark it, or leave a comment. I love hearing from everyone and anyone. Check back frequently...I will try to keep you updated.

So I am always on the search for the album that I would want if I was getting married again. Something sturdy, and sassy while not totally trendy. This isn't your gold guilded wedding album with gold tips on the pages. I used to sell those when I worked for a photographer back in 1997. I wasn't a fan then...yadda yadda.
This is my "Dream Album" and I am so happy I found them. This album has a hard photo cover and a thick sturdy spine. The pages are thick, just like the leather books that I also offer.
So now your choices are a leather bound album or a photo cover album.
Both albums lay flat when open, have no seam down the middle and have a pages that can be wiped clean if someone eating a pb&j is flipping through.
Here are some pictures...hope I did this book justice. It was the most popular thing at the bridal fair the other day. Got questions, please chat me up!!
The books show are the leather 10x10 and the dream 9x9.
12x12s are also available! The dream album comes standard with 1 5x7 on each page. If you choose you can opt to have a custom design/layout done instead.

I have chosen some of my favorite pictures from 2009. The images may be my favorite because of the moment/expressions, the light, etc. Some of the sessions just seem to be exactly what I love...from dress (or clothes), to the light, to the makeup. Some of those sessions you may see more images from than others.
Last year was definitely a year for bridal portraits. I have come to realize they are what I love, what I am good at and what make me feel happy. I love creating images that women are proud of, that they feel beautiful in, and that we have a blast creating together. I love seeing everything come together from hair and makeup, accessories, to the shoes a bride chooses to walk down the aisle in. It is all fascinating to me and last year was full of bridal sessions, and ones that let me think and shoot out of the box just a little bit more. I can't wait to see what 2010 holds. I already have the most unique assortments of brides and locations. From mountainside weddings to Jewish weddings I am so excited I could scream. Is it that or the snow that is falling outside...well who knows. This is a year for firsts. A first to have Billy gone for 7 months...a first to have Wesley head off to Kindergarten...a first to be totally and unequivocally outnumbered by toddlers!
Here are MY FAVES
music available on ITUNES or Amazon.com
i am in no way selling music, trying to benefit from music or profiting from the slideshow presentation. I am only trying to set a mood and let the music and photos together tell a story of my utmost joy and satisfaction with what 2009 had to offer.

Ash-I love your faves!!! A lot of yours are faves of mine - there is a girl that is always laughing in your pictures (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about) I wish I could hear her! LOVED that pick of Heath too!

Quick update...I am sick...like the sickest I have been in a year. Hard to lift my arms...don't want to shower sick. I am going to the dr in a half hour. I wanted to get these pictures up, as I have vowed to keep blogging, even if I am sick.. The worst part is Abby has something too...she has a fever...I have the chills and a low temp...weird.
You just can't have enough Abby...or any of my kids, in my honest opinion.
I just love them and enjoy the heck out of pictures. I find myself looking at them over and over again, reminiscing all the time. It brings me back to when they were smaller and at different stages. If my house was on fire, you know what I would grab....well my computer cause all my pictures are there, and my family albums.
Here are some pictures that Stacy took of Abby just a few weeks ago when we were in Charleston. We spent the day talking and eating Mexican food...2 of our favorite things. You can see Betsy too...her sulky look again. I love it even though she is being a stinker. And yes, once again she is dresses like a princess, this time in blue.
I promise next post is biz! Better late than never, I have my favorite pictures of 2009 to show you. I am almost done with the slideshow..
