So much fun! A couple that truly enjoys each other’s company. I can’t wait to capture their wedding day in October. Sweetness……..

This feature is so amazing. This will give you a good idea of what the workshop was like for the attendees. It features all of our work. Many thanks go out to Kim Bamberg for all her hard work and her editorial eye. Enjoy!

Summer sun, Lake Tohoe (East Shore), respite. Ahhh…vacation!

How cool is this! Erin and Jason’s wedding on The Brides Cafe! I don’t know if you have ever popped over there, but it’s so refreshing. Janie has the best taste and her aesthetic is so clean and sophisticated! That is why I’m super over the top about her featuring me. Thank you Erin and Jason and to Janie! Happy Wednesday!

Our final shoot of the day was a gift! We where able to photograph Julie (above) and Gina (below) privately for a certain amount of time. What an experience! You really do learn so much about yourself as a director of sorts. I loved this day!

I have to admit…I’m a full blown sucker for packaging. I buy the product at first because it looks so great and all I do is envision it in a photograph. Then I taste….I know. This time around, I hit the jackpot. First up, this amazing concoction of tea, fruit, and love. From their web site “Twelve noon to midnight is a sophisticated and culinary inspired non-alcoholic beverage perfect for every occasion noon to midnight.” I served some to my friends and it was instantly well received (though some thought it would pair very nicely with Vodka and some mint). Next are these amazing chocolate bars from Tea Room Chocolates! The boxes are so nostalgic with an old time feel…the taste is outrageous. If you love chocolate and you want to try something a little different….these are for you! The flowers are from Trader Joes and the Lemon Cake is from Whole Foods. Great little gathering for a Tuesday afternoon!

The cute little table throw is actually part of a present I received for attending A Lovely Workshop. Actually, it’s a recyclable fabric wrap from the very unique Chewing The Cud! Stop by her Blog…you will love all the stationary, gifts and such.

I truly love photographing the “getting ready” part of the day. The bride is getting pampered, the dress is hung, the shoes are ready to wear. It’s all so anticipatory. Hope you are ready to be the star!

We will miss our days at the Co-Op! You will always remain in our hearts!
