Make sure to visit the photo blog for some great weddings and engagements!!

The Flower Girl

During the wedding I photographed last Saturday, this little Flower Girl stole the show! 

Simply Stunning

There were some stunning people at Karrie's wedding two weeks ago. Take a look.

Karrie Ann

I've known this beautiful woman since we were both four years old. We were in kindergarten together and I got into trouble more than once when I was caught braiding her hair instead of learning my letters. I was always planning and plotting and getting her in trouble (she was WAY too sweet for her own good) when we were little. We went through junior high and high school together. From studying, to passing notes in the hallway, to jogging miles every day to keep in shape, to photo shoots, to planning our weddings, to broken hearts, to losing loved ones and holding each other's hands during funerals, to wild sleepovers, to skipping school,  to..to..to..to a million other moments. Her wedding day is here and I couldn't be happier for her. Isn't she beautiful?

You can see the entire shoot here.

Very, Very

This girl is very smart, very charming, very beautiful and VERY fun to do a photo shoot with. You can see some candid shots here.

Matt & Katherine

I had such an amazing time photographing Matt and Katherine's wedding on Thursday. They are so in love, so amazing, so beautiful, and I am so lucky to have them both in my life. This was a quiet moment I caught between the two of them. The day was sunny, but still a bit chilly. It's nice to be wrapped up in an embrace, fully, in love, isn't it?

You can see the whole event here!

Steph & Scott Tie the Knot!

By the way, Stephanie and Scott are now MARRIED!!!

Katherine's Bridals

The bridals of the most beautiful Katherine are now up at the photo blog. Take a look. She is marrying one of my FAVORITE people in March, and I just can't be happier for the two of them. They are amazing individuals and as a couple, they are out of this world.

Stephanie's Bridals

Steph and I braved the cold yesterday to take some bridals for her before the big day! You can check out the whole event here.

Joyce & Company

For Joyce's snowy family photo shoot, please go here. 

Steph & Scott

One of my DEAREST friends in all the world is getting married! And I couldn't be happier for her!! It was such an honor to take their engagement photos today. The laughter, the love, the serenading (thanks Scott, that was memorable!) and every moment of seeing the two of them together just confirmed what I already knew...sometimes love just works, sometimes it's just easy, sometimes you just sit back and savor the time when you can be in the presence of two people in love!

Congratulations you guys!!!!

Torrey & Judd

Yesterday I was able to take photos of a couple of my FAVORITE people! Almost a year ago I was able to photograph their wedding, and to see them a year later, still full of love (it's so obvious!) and energy (enough to spare) and vibrance and laughter and just about everything else two people in love should have was awesome. It was SO MUCH fun to spend an afternoon taking these amazing photos of Judd & Torrey (seriously folks, they are the MOST photogenic couple). Also, they really make you want to fall in love...sigh. Thanks guys! And you're helping kids in India at the same time!!

Theo & Grandma

I went with Stina and Dave to take some photos of Theo with his grandma. I think the two of them together are breathtaking. Check them out!

Art for Charity

The Auction is On!!!! Check it out!!

Theo

Theo turned supermodel yesterday and posed for his first photo shoot. It's pretty adorable, so be careful, the following photos could cause baby hunger!

Something More Important

So, I had my political blog all ready to go. I had all the reasons I am voting for Obama down and all the reasons why "that one" just doesn't cut it for me. I had articulate thoughts on how much pettiness I have been witness to, among adults. How many slurs and slanders and jibes and hating remarks and "I'm Right, You're Wrong" finger pointings. This blog was so good, it would have called all the evil slanderers to remorseful repentance!! Yes, indeed, in one blog post alone, I called us all to accept each other and our differences in politics and put everything else aside

....and then I thought...nope, not going to do it.

Because I have something more important to write about.

The Children of Shanti Bhavan.

I was asked to be part of an art auction by my friend Emily to help the George Foundation of India. Here is her message.

Christmas is coming, and instead of giving your money to Target or Walmart, 100% of your contribution will go directly to helping sweet Indian children receive a quality education! This whole art benefit will be on an official George Foundation website in the next month or so...but I am giving you a sneak peak of the amazing art that will be a part of this benefit, just in case you're an early shopper...

About the George Foundation
I love raising money for other people!

This is a photo of my dear friend Emily. She worked at the school in India for several months and through her eyes, I came to know and love these children.

As an added Christmas bonus...if any of you want commissioned paintings throughout the month of November, I will give all proceeds for those paintings to the George Foundation. 

I will also give 50% of each family photo shoot I do, during the month of November, to the George Foundation. I've only got two scheduled, so come join in and let's start giving!!

This is the place that my family has decided to donate their money to for Christmas. I couldn't be happier with our decision. You can buy one of these amazing pieces of art at the art auction on Emily's blog.

Baby Mamma!

Today I really wanted a couple of kids of my own.

Even after the melt downs.

That's Progress.
