I can't believe it's already here.... but then again, I've been compiling a waiting list since last summer! If you're part of the graduating class of 2010, I've got a freshly re-designed info pack waiting for you! Give me a shout out and I'll send it your way asap! :)
With a very full wedding calendar, I'm only able to accommodate a very limited number of 2010 seniors this summer.... so don't wait, my calendar fills up FAST!
Turner came back for his 2nd shoot at my studio and was such a good sport! Great to see you guys again. :)
I like to read... a LOT.
Often, when I read in bed, I wrestle a quite a bit with the book. Low and behold... while blog surfing, I discovered these lil' wonders! Who invents this stuff? And more importantly, why didn't I think of that??? :)
If you like it as much as I do, click the photo to go to the site.... Happy Reading!
Just a shout out to the blog-o-sphere that May 9, 2009 is now open on my wedding calendar. Interested? Shoot me an email.
The ever brilliant Jackie shines again! She started a new blog, definitely worth checking out! (The latest post features yours truly, how slick is THAT?)
Jackie is filled with inspiration, creative genius, and packs a writing punch that will knock your socks off. Check out this glimpse into her world....
My work is joyous for SO many reasons. I get to work with great people and be part of their fascinating lives, the projects that I am blessed to be part of keep me wildly entertained and always on my toes, and... I just plain love it!
This shoot was for an upcoming project (yet to be revealed!) that Jenn and crew were kind enough to lend me part of their Saturday morning for.
Here, Jenn, Piper & Kira (did I spell that right Jenn?) cook us up some d-lish morning cupcakes.
Hmmmm? What else do we need?
Time to stir it up!
While the cupcakes were baking, Piper was happy to show me her doll house (which, amazingly enough, is the same one I remember from my childhood growing up down the street from Jenn and her two sisters... we had so much fun!).
This doll house is true, homemade vintage fantastic-ness.
Are those pig-tails to die for, or what?
Baby sis is such a happy camper-- look at that grin!
Day dreaming out the window....
Cleaning the window... (Piper, wanna come over to my house? I have tons of windows to keep you entertained for hours! Ha!)
Let's frost the cupcakes!
Can't forget sprinkles!
I snagged these next 2 pics of Piper in November at my brother's wedding. The colors are so scrumptious, I couldn't resist posting these!
Jenn.... I enjoyed spending Saturday morning with you guys! Thanks for being YOU!
I recently had the pleasure of whipping up these gems for a few of my 2009 seniors. These are hard-bound 8x8 books custom made for each client. In a nutshell.... they ROCK! If you're interested in having one designed for you, let me know!
This is what my desk looked like before Christmas and the LPS yearbook deadline. These wallet orders reached to the moon and back! Each box was individually packed, labeled, and addressed... followed up with a phone call/email to let the recipient know it was ready. Phew!
Just a regular day's worth of mail..... yeow-sa!
Scene: New Year's Eve, roughly 7pm at the Historic Grand Manse. More specifically, upstairs in the old court room (jury box still in tact!).
Details: Family and friends gathered to celebrate. Candles lit at the altar. Jazz band hypnotically seducing guests with sweet sounds. Glasses of champagne waiting on cue.
It was something out of a fairy tale, perhaps a movie. Greg & Kelly's celebration was all their own, and it was perfection. Here are some of my favorite moments.
Is it just me or does this look like Hollywood meets The Godfather? :)
I LOVE this photo. It captures all the grand splendor of the scene/moment.
You can see the old jury box on the left. The wood work is richly delicious!
Emir scores another gem! I love the doors from the hallway into the courtroom. He snagged this shot through the window.
The pastor had the most fascinating mustache. Only to be outdone by the incredible service he officiated. Well done!
The architecture in the space is simply amazing (plus, I developed a mild obsession with this clock.....)
Immediately following the ceremony, champagne was ushered in for all guests and the benediction was bestowed. (Another Emir treasure!)
This is Kelly's grandfather. I loved shooting him!
Off to the reception! This was a huge martini glass filled with personalized M&M's.
The cake was A-mazing! (I split a piece with Emir.... trimming down for a new year!)
First dance joy....
The midnight kiss!
I'm honored to have had the opportunity to be part of your lovestory for a night. And what a special one at that! Wishing you a lifetime of love, joy and happiness. :)
