1) A Very She & Him Xmas: Every year, I always feel compelled to stock up on at least one new Xmas album. And friends, when it comes to Xmas music, well, I say ANYTHING GOES. But I was thrilled that one of my favorite duos in recent memory was putting out an album of...

Ten on Tuesday: November ‘11 Edition
1. What is your favorite month?
I’d have to say the month we just left. October is when fall explodes and I just love the colors of the season, the light of the day (that golden shade no other time of the year can match), and how I can pull my sweater collection out again. Oh...
November Self-Portrait: A New Way of Seeing Things
“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller
When I travel, I truly believe I am the best version of me. There are those who loathe the idea of leaving home … of crowded airports and late flights and the confusion of intimidating new places. Not me. I...
Bailey and Kyle: Sneak Peek
My last engagement session of the year and I’m ending 2011 with the sweet (and crazy attractive) Bailey and Kyle. I’ve got plenty more to share with you all from their time in front of my camera, but for now, here’s a few frames that caught my eye while editing. This whole idea—from the wardrobe...
Cara and Brent: The Engagement
Two things I L-O-V-E about Cara and Brent: 1) They are cuuuuuuute and affectionate in front of my camera. 2) They went out of their way to make their engagement session with me very personal to them.

Laurie and Joe: Sneak Peek
Laurie and Joe…..OOOHHHH how I love them. And, judging from your feedback to their engagement session, you do too! Theirs was a wedding that did not disappoint, from the gorgeous details and reception venue, to just how over-the-top beautiful these two fit the bill as bride and groom. The best part? They are total sweethearts....
800 miles and even more in love later ….
It has been a whirlwind of a 72 hours …. Nick and I got back late Thursday from a six-day trip out West, flying into San Francisco, renting a car, driving up the coast and ending in Seattle. It was a trip we’d dreamed about taking for a long time and in no way did...
A living room I can love
Remember that one time? When I said I was going to remodel my living room? Yeah, well, I don’t blame you if it’s slipped your mind After (no joke) years spent dreaming about the remakings of this room, I found that, when the time came to set the wheels in motion, I wasn’t...
The Gorjup Family: 2011 Portraits
When your best friend gets in touch with you about wanting family portraits for the year, you think one of two things: 1) The pressure is on to deliver because, well….SHE’S YOUR BEST FRIEND and 2) There’s really no pressure at all because, well, SHE’S YOUR BEST FRIEND. Tracy is my second sister…my biggest believer...
