Remember when I blogged about looking like this crazy mess? Well here’s finally why! Last December, Jason and I went to NYC to shoot Rica + Josh’s super fun, super fabulous and super freezing engagement session!

Today is the last day of September (seriously where did the first 9 months of 2011 go?!) and it has been one crazy, fun filled month for me. Between 4 amaaazing weddings, over 25,000 images shot, 5 countries visited, about 36 hours of flight time, only 6 full days at home and countless calories consumed, I can happily bid farewell to September and ready to get back to blogging, editing, album designing and all the…read more

Meet Jennifer + Dan – two people beautiful inside + out. As their families + friends described them best – they are the female + male versions of one another: funny, kind, thoughtful, warm and intelligent. Their gorgeous wedding day in Santa Barbara was so emotionally charged as the love between these two is as contagious as their smiles. My favorite part of the day was actually when Jennifer teared up while getting ready because…read more
“one fine day” I just love this time of the year when engagement sessions are happening all around and I get to spend some extra time getting to know my couples!

“been around the world” This is my last post for my summer Euro trip (sad). I ended the trip in the lovely city of London. It was my first visit to London and it was extra special because I got to spend time with my friend Sam who recently moved there. Ok before we begin, here’s a brief background. Almost exactly 4 years ago (sad), I went on a month long backpacking trip to Italy,…read more
