Welcome to my blog
So this is a place I will probably 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.

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

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.

The bridal fair last Sunday was a hit. I know that is what you are supposed to say, but it really was. I felt a different vibe this year...more alive, more modern and sassy. I am proud to welcome Blakely as one of my brides for 2010. She booked me on the spot Sunday. I felt an instant connection with a handful of girls and got to see some of my favorite vendors too. I love to chat, especially about photography and anything wedding related, so honestly I wish I could do it again this Sunday. Thanks to my fantastic sidekicks Stacy and Emily. They were there to help me answer questions and to pass out a pink pen or two...hundred.
So here's an update...my resolution was/is to keep you so updated that we are all like roommates without all the ugliness involved in cohabitation. I was having blog issues which seem to be resolved so I am about to get on it. I have to introduce my side kick...show you some recent Abby/Wesley/Betsy stuff...and pretty much open up my mind and my heart to you over the next few weeks.
Past brides will be doing something very interesting for you...keep posted, it's comin!
