bridal photos

I worked with a great model and stylist this evening on some shots to update my portfolio. It was lots of fun to get to know these women and also for me to "get outside the box" a bit in my work. There are tons of great images so it will be hard to narrow it down but I'll post just a few of my favorites here. Thanks Verity & Brie - you are both pros!

ER visit

I took our 22 month old daughter to The Children's  Hospital ER last night. She is fine but she had a 105 temp and was shaking with the chills for a half hour. They couldn't determine the cause of the high temp even after doing blood work. Bless her little heart - she was a real trooper! This is actually her 4th ER visit ( plus one 911 call for choking) and she isn't even two yet! After a late bedtime and getting up several times during the night the fever broke this morning, thank goodness! We all just need to catch up on our sleep now.

favorites from this week

Here are a few of my favorite images from this week's shoots!

spring

I have been contemplating doing a floral fine art series and inspiration is everywhere including my own backyard where our peach trees are blossoming. Yay Spring!

earth day

I have been inspired by what some of the larger companies are doing for the environment such as Whole Foods not handing out anymore plastic bags after today! I am challenging myself to find a "green" wedding album company. It will be interesting to see what's out there... perhaps bamboo paper? I'll let you know what I uncover.

little picasso's

I had lots of fun letting the kids loose on an art project this afternoon! Our neighbors got some new patio furniture and I asked them for the big cardboard box it came in ( Thanks, Tinkers!). We cut a door and windows and this afternoon we got out the paints and went to town. Luke& Sophia were so into it. The clean up was epic but it's all good!

Johnson & Wales University

Paul spent four days with a video crew ( and video lighting!) photographing images for Johnson & Wales University to use on their new website. While photographing with a video crew held a few challenges, overall it was great! Johnson & Wales is one of our favorite clients - we feel like we are part of one big family there!
