it’s hard to describe how lucky i feel when a couple that i witnessed marry has me to their home when a baby arrives…
and a lot of those babies are being born which makes it such a fun reunion! i look at that face and see little bits of
mom, dad, and grandparents.
i think to myself,...
i was a little weak in the knees over emily’s great boots & silk top! we were lucky enough to have an unseasonably warm day to shoot and i loved getting to know them, see how they interacted…how happy they are to be together!
i fell in love with emily (who couldn’t – she’s sweet as...
we couldn't be more delighted! -m-
happy news, my work has been published in Professional Photographer Magazine (ppmag.com). i talk a little about creating work/life balance and photography gear i prefer. yes, i’m totally blushing. and when i blush, it’s not a lovely pink to the cheeks, it’s a full ‘red as a tomato’ sort of deal ;) i’m pretty sure...
i had a moment this evening to work on a gift for audrey’s grandparents and thought i’d share in case you have a little downtime this weekend! i think this little set of 4×6 prints (edges cut with a corner rounder) and set on a small easel are sweet. and a great way to use...

i love my sweet yoga teacher. i love my sweet dentist. i love a very sweet cupcake bakery. i find that my interactions with others are a highlight of my life. this week audrey’s goldfish (version 3.0 mind you) died…she was heartbroken.
as a parent, i walk into her room every day with my breath held...
i adore the junior league’s holly day market…so fun, so many great gift items that make shopping a breeze*…

The sound of children singing
Dogs bathing in a sunbeam
Toddler girls in jumpers with striped leggings
Baby birds in a nest
Eating tomatoes fresh off the vine
Peonies the day before they fully bloom
Stepping out of a cold building into the sunlight
The moment right before the curtain opens on a broadway show
My grandmother’s voice when she discovers...
there’s so much to share…i’ve been having the best time working on proofs as of late. and the sessions have made me over-the-top-happy…i feel really fortunate to have the view of the world i do. this week i literally had to pinch myself. the blog is so behind…ie: 30+ sessions of goodness behind! will you...

i was laughing all the way through this session because chris is nothing short of hilarious! it’s fun to see who a bride picks to spend forever with, and casey is going to have a terrific life with lots of laughter! i think i’m going to unpack their uhaul so they don’t move to texas.
