thinking of fall

if i can track down a few tweed skirts (a-line just below the knee), i think I’ll be wearing these great boots with tights all fall.  -m-

diane, clay + whitley

ohmycuteness – this family is apple pie and homemade jam,  4 of july parades and cotton candy, in short…everything lovely and wonderful!    it was at this same family home that they were married so it was a sweet reunion to walk onto the back lawn and see the great view again, to hug clay’s...

finally!

i interrupt your web surfing for a *big* mauer family moment…my darling daughter finally called me mommy!  she’s been saying dada f-o-r-e-v-e-r but this week she finally caught on (she has a pretty substantial baby vocabulary but hadn’t really rocked on any ‘m’ words).  and lemme tell ya, it makes my heart swell so big...

dani + scott

ashley & dave

ashley & dave were such a TEAM in planning their wedding – I remember the majority of calls/emails at the beginning came from dave which is atypical in most cases since i generally talk with brides.  it showed me that this day would be a reflection of them both.  several weeks before the wedding, i...

keeping it simple

thought i’d share my favorite thoughts from a little book i picked up whilst in chicago (windy city that i love) when jason & audrey brought me there several weeks ago for a quick birthday trip:
- get your car professionally cleaned- when you put your children to bed, don’t ask them how their day was. ...

sofia

i love dan & susannah (parents of the darling girl to the left)!  they are favorite clients…and part of why i have a mantra of ‘mix business with pleasure as often as possible’ because they’re literally my shamans in all things movie & food related.  for this session, susannah had noticed a particular spot during...

great wedding stuff

okay, so my huge bias is for claudia engle who lives in lexington when it comes to monograms *but* if claudia is unavailable or you’re looking for more of a logo, i think love letters is a wonderful resource.  i see this being printed on guest bags at the hotel, embossed on the programs, made...
