An Audubon Park Elopement • Emily and Ian

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Sometimes I get to photograph couples who are so in love that they can’t stop smiling. Emily and Ian are one of those couples They eloped on July 15th, but it was my birthday so we decided to just have an elopement portrait session the day before! It was crazy hot outside (thank you New Orleans in July!!) but they were so happy you would have never guessed Plus, the light was perfect. Seriously, I always try to get my couples to have their engagement or portrait sessions done outside at the end of the day… magic time as my boyfriends sister calls it But anyway, Emily and Ian I love you guys and thank you so, so, SO much for letting me be apart of your amazing elopement!

Sneak Peek: Aaron and Melinda • Engaged!

Monday, September 13th, 2010

I had never been to San Francisco before this past weekend. So, when Aaron and Melinda emailed me about going to do their engagement pictures, I of course had to go! And oh my, it’s SO beautiful there! I’m crazy in love with the weather and the fantastically cool architecture. But honestly, the best part of my job is the wonderful and fun people that I get to meet and hang out with. Aaron and Melinda (and their doggie!) are AMAZING! We drove all around San Francisco through Russian Hill, The Mission, and down to this tiny little beach by the Marina (where you can see the Golden Gate Bridge!). They were so much fun and got so into the session and had a million amazing ideas for shoots (since I had no idea where anything is). But seriously, I love them and I feel so happy to have meet such fantastically cool people More to come!!

Blog Design Version 3.0

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

Sometimes I can’t help but redesign my website… or blog. That’s what I did today… I had an idea and went for it! I hope you guys like it! It’s a lot more modern than my last version, and the photographs are a little bigger. If you notice any wackyness with the site functionality or design (such as random things floating in random places) then just send me an email and let me know. If you let me know what operating system and browser you’re using then I’ll be able to fix any issues more quickly Yes, I am a secret web nerd… And since every post is more fun with a photograph, here is a picture of my boyfriends sisters shadow… and her birthday balloons! Yippie!
