attention: big post. i’m sure you’ll skip to the pictures anyway. I don’t blame you. yack yack yack yack yack.

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and that you’re headed towards a bright New Year. My Christmas was wonderful and I have lots of goodies to show for it. I’m excited because now that the gifts have been given, I can now blog about the things I made. big deal for me. yeah yeah yeah, onto the photos.

I was happy to have my photos on three Christmas cards this year. yet again, big deal. Julie is a close family friend. 1) me and her little sis Abbi were BFF4E&E’s for many years, 2) I grew up at her house trying on all her clothes secretly and 3) I have an ornament on 0ur Christmas tree that she made me when was 6. It’s pretty awesome. Her ooooother sister is Wendy who married Todd. small world! Its a big tangled mess of background that I happen to quite enjoy.

Good Lord, onto the POINT. Julie is awesome an amazing designer of everything. She totally nails Illustrator and can sew like no other. She’s designing our wedding invitations so we’re playing the swap services game and its really fun. Here’s a little bit from our first photo op which made it to the front of their Christmas cards. Yippieeee! we started things off with a tea party, naturally.

This is Mr.Pottomas

and all of the other attendees.

If you’re wondering where E got her good looks from, meet Julie. We did these photos to show off the scarf she won.

Julie made this little red riding hood cape, skirt & bow. talent!

Then we headed inside for some more serious ones…well, we tried.

Coming Soon:
Sara-Part II

Rudy & Sarah-Engagement. Darn you pixel-y photo.

This is probably old news since I blabbed it all on my facebook, but something REALLY cool happened yesterday! My photos were featured on one of my favorite wedding blogs ever, Style Me Pretty.

I haven’t published these photos yet because I had sent them off for featuring and didn’t want to spoil the surprise. This is one of those posts that you probably don’t really care about, but this is a big big BIG step for my business and I’m just so blessed. Poor Kelly and Nick had to listen to me talk about it all day yesterday. Such good friends.

Not to toot my own horn but, 2010 BRIDES, YOU’VE GOT A FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHER! ahem. head is shrinking back down to normal size now. i’m good.

Just a warning, I hope your eyes can handle the cute-ness. This is a very special post for me…
1) its my sweet family
&
2) its a follow up to one of my favorite sessions ever.

The ‘girl in the driveway’ photo has become quite a signature for me. These photos are a true testament to grace and mercy and they make me smile every time I glance at them. I’m not sure what we did to deserve so many blessings from the Lord:)

Anyway, enough with my rambling, I introduce, the Daniels family.


(isn’t this headband fabulous? want one of your own? follow me here!–thanks ica!)

Here’s the ‘driveway’ photo-before & after:)

Have you ever heard music that just makes you feel powerful? Well the combined team of the thompsons does just that to me. Sara has the voice of an angel and with Jesse by her side, she can do anything. Their passion for music is beautiful and I was honored to take some photos for their press kit.

Check Sara out

the combined efforts of Starline Drive

We started out the fun with some home-made pizza. Probably the yummiest I’ve ever ever had.

be careful….tomato sauce is messy:)

    That pizza does look very tasty. And I LOVE the pictures of them with their instruments! So lovely.ReplyCancel

  • melissa o

    Ohhhh gorgeous. They are gorgeous together. Love the shots of them and their instruments – how special to make LITERAL music with the one you love!ReplyCancel

I am truly at a loss for words for this session, however, i will try. Mackenzie is a Senior at Richmond Christian School. I knew the moment i met with her that her photos would define my style of imaging. Her love for all things eclectic, old fashion style and music made this session unique and gave me a chance to truly stretch my creativity. I sure love a senior who is willing to go along with my crazy ideas.

Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

Is it just me, or does she have a strong resemblance to Allison Sudol of A Fine Frenzy?
