I'll be talking to you soon, Thanks!

The Person

Well first of all, I try not to take myself too seriously so it's hard for me to think so hard about what I want to say about myself! I grew up in Florida with a large family of nine kids. My enitre family has Art running through their veins. My G-pa was a professional photographer (old school), Mom and Dad both have artistic qualities, and I think all of my sibblings have a knack for being creative one way or another! So here I am, married with children and wondering how in the world am I going to channel my passion into something beautiful, productive, fulfilling, and find bliss all at the same time!? But seriously, I sometimes feel like my photography is like my drug, ha ha ha. I am 5 years married with two sweet boys, 3 and 18 mo. (I'm going to have to keep that updated...). I love my family dearly, I love my beliefs and going to church, I'm a good girl, and I never INTEND to offend anybody :) Sarchasm is non-existant in my blood, so I can get very confused around it sometimes, but that's okay.

The Photographer

Why Photography? Oh goodness, I need an outlet, I LOVE people, I love love, and I LOVE adorable little baby fat rolls. I HAVE to create, I can't breathe without that. Though being a full time mom and homemaker takes up most of my time and energy, I just can't keep myself from obsessing and dreaming about being an amazing wedding Photographer. Over the past 3 years in the wedding industry, I feel like I've become a regular wedding junkie! By recognizing the latest styles and wedding trends, I am prepared to capture everything that was unique and beautiful at your wedding and wrap it all up into an amazing timeless package. And that amazing package is the work of art you will walk away with when the day is all said and done. How well do you want to remember?

John & Katie: Album!

Thursday, April 17, 2008 Posted in Wedding Day

Hola!

This is what I’ve designed so far for John and Katie’s Wedding Album. Just thought I’d share! Katie, I’ll be in touch with you about different options and pricing, etc. Enjoy!

John & Katie Wedding Part II

Thursday, April 17, 2008 Posted in Wedding Day

I recently showed you a sneak peak with all of Katie’s wonderful shoes!!!! Well, John and Katie looked at their pictures today, so I am posting a “few” more, he he he… More like a TON! I loved so many images, it was hard to choose. These guys were awesome and very relaxed. It was great working with them. Their reception was beautiful, and Katie had TWO dresses which is always fun(one of which she found on Craig’s list and it just happened to fit gorgeously)!

I’m really looking forward to the rest of our weddings coming up this year. We have a few more tricks up our sleaves to make it our product even better! (Keep in touch to see our cool new packaging!) We are working toward higher quality, more sophisticated design work, and an all together higher-end look and feel. We are constantly evolving and changing our ideas for the better. Thank you to all who have helped us thus far with valuable advice, time, and sacrifice.

Come back in a day or two to see their ALBUM!!

Josh & Necia: Wedding Part II (+Album!)

Tuesday, April 8, 2008 Posted in Wedding Day

Well, I’m excited to get this album to the press! Josh and Necia were stunning at their December wedding in Salem, Oregon at the Grand Theater/Ballroom. We didn’t have much time, but Necia wanted the perfect umbrella shot, so that’s what we got! I think these are some of my favorite images ever.

Josh and Necia are truely wonderful people. They are very kind and uber sweet; a joy to work with. I knew from the begining that “this was going to be fun” when I met with them the first time! Josh was really into the albums and was just a nice person overall, and Necia is beautiful inside and out!

First I’ll be showing a few of my favorites, then their album (for approval), and THEN their canvas wrap, and single print order. ENJOY!!
