Twins

Absolutely adorable. They were born April 21, 2008. Arriving almost 2 months early by emergency C-section, Arden came first at 4 lbs 11 ounces and Brady was 5 lbs 12 ounces. It took Arden over a week to be able to come home and since then, everyone has been wonderful. Both babies and parents are doing well and I am so happy that they were able to make their first trip one that ended up in my studio. I couldn’t be happier to have a new niece and nephew and so excited that after 18 years JD and Stacey get to experience the joy of parenthood. X2!

















Moved to tears.

I’m not kidding. You have to check out Gregory Colbert’s exhibit. Take some time and go through the site. It’s absolutely amazing. I sat here for an hour with my jaw dropped. It really touched me. Just incredible. Make sure you watch the movie clips too. When you mouse around, just click on little photos, some of them are movies. None of the photos are digitally composed.




Lindsay and William Moffitt. May 24, 2008

It was an awesome day all around. We started off at the fabulous Mary Jane’s place. She is a makeup artist/ hair stylist/ portrait photographer and she is about the coolest chic in the Highlands. Yes, I have studio envy.



There are always so many details behind the scenes that make each wedding unique. So personal. Lindsay’s grandmother, Liz, made her wedding dress as she did for all of her daughters, including Lindsay’s mom, Laura, who passed away sudddenly in 1999. Lindsay tucked pieces of her mother’s dress into her own which was made from pieces of fabric collected from trips to Europe. This photo below is taken through a piece of lace from her mother’s dress.

The flowers, centerpieces and gorgeous chandelier boquet over the ceremony were done by Steve Bales and his team at Bold American Catering.

I was so excited to shoot at this venue. I met with Lindsay and Will over a year ago and have been looking forward to shooting at the King Plow Art Gallery. There were these fabulous works of art hanging around for backdrops and plenty of sky lights to let the sun shine in. I couldn’t have asked for a better place.
The handsome William waiting to see his bride. It was so romantic, he held back tears as he waited for her entrance. They agreed to see each other before the ceremony and when they first laid eyes on each other, they both cried. It was so sweet it made me cry too. It’s so much more intimate to meet in a place where you can express how you feel and look at each other and take it all in. Not that meeting down the aisle isn’t, but there is something so tender about seeing each other for the first time when it’s only the two of them. Oh, and me too but I think they forgot all about me.

One of the reasons the day ran so smooth was because of the skills of Amanda from Ashley Baber Weddings. Having a coordinator is such a tremendous asset to the Bride and Groom. She totally took charge of everything they needed.






Thank you Lindsay and Will for sharing your day with me. It was a joy to photograph the two of you. Much love to you both!

Wedding Ring Quest

One of the things that I love to do at weddings is find a unique way to shoot wedding rings. I start looking for unique ideas as soon as I show up. On Saturday I shot at King Plow and happened to see a glass sculpture sitting in the conference room where the bride dressed. I set it in a window and laced the rings on the glass.



Madison

She is 11
Full of joy and wonder
I can see the struggle she has at times
trying to make sense of the world…of life.
“Don’t be afraid,” I whisper.
You are the apple of His eye
and all things are possible
Just believe
