I am proud to have my coffee table book design featured in the Book Club listing for 2008 (April) on the Asuka Book website. They contacted me several months ago, and the listing just recently went live. What an honor!
I have the best job in the world... and today was no exception. In fact, it was quite the reminder of how fortunate I am to do what I love and work with such great people on a regular basis. Fabulous! Here's a sneak peek for you guys. Enjoy!
Kristin's dress... I LOVE this shot!
The "getting ready" room was a small corner of the choir loft. It was kind of a dark, tight squeeze, but this mirror made great things possible!
Here's Chris awaiting his princess...
This is a new all-time fave!
Gorgeous!
Another all-time fave! The motion of her dress in this shot is crazy fun.
This is Brian. He was a blast to work with. If you're getting married and are looking for a videographer, check him out! Here he is filming and holding Kristin's bouquet at the same time. Go Brian!
Some family shots... They were actually posing for the bride's sister's camera... but I couldn't help myself. :) I love the exploding laughter in this one.
It seemed as though between every shot, Chris would disappear. Then we found out the reason... he couldn't get enough of these sandwiches. :) So this time, he brought it with him....
Look at these characters! Grandpas are so cute!
A little bridesmaid bouquet action to wrap up the sneak peek...
Guys, that was absolutely fabulous. Thank you so much for having me as part of your day. Have fun in Jamaica!

Adrienne Maples, part of our Photogirls group, talks about WPPI and Photogirls on the air with Shutterbug Magazine radio. Enjoy!
Anna + Eric are adorable individuals and are even more charming as a couple.
Here's the little man workin' the bike rack. Isn't he a cutie? I'm telling ya... They're in trouble when this little guy grows up.... can you say 'heart breaker?'
We shot at Haymarket Park after the game.... Eric is a big fan.
Shortly after our shoot I received this warm fuzzy in my in-box from Anna: "Just wanted to write a quick note to tell you how much FUN we had at our shoot! You made it so easy for us to have a great time! AND, my son is in love with you! You are made to do exactly what you are doing :) Thank you Thank you!"
Anna, thank YOU!
Apparently you can't brown Italian sausage in a skillet with just Pam. (Heaven forbid you skip the oil!) Thus, I've been soaking/scrubbing/soaking this dish for 2 days. This is as far as I've gotten.
Fellow photogs: If you want to use this as a texture, you can download the file here. :)
UPDATE: I finally gave up and tossed the pan. No dish is worth THAT much scrubbing. Geesch!
My friend and fellow photographer Brooke Mayo has a hubby in the wine making business. Their business is called Sanctuary Vineyards... and while myself and the rest of the photogirls were at Nags Head, Brooke organized a wine tasting for us. I fell head over heels for the muskadine & blackberry varieties.
So when I got home, I ordered some from Brookie Pants. It arrived on Monday. Yum! :)
Thanks Brooke!
Being a graphic artist in addition to being a photographer means I have double the fun at my job! Here's some more senior invite designs I wrapped up recently.
Hello Chicagoans! I'm going to be in the Windy City May 5th & 6th, so if anyone wants to get together for coffee, chit chat, or to schedule a photo shoot (kids, engagements, whatever!), let me know!
Drop me a note and we'll get something on the books. :)
Last time I checked, Nebraska was a landlocked state... but apparently the local seagulls don't mind. While shooting at Haymarket Park, this little guy was struttin' his stuff. :)
There were tons of them flying around... I guess they like to tail gate as much as people do. :) The sound reminded me of my recent trip to Nags Head Island.
