I have an incredible respect for Candice & Jared. They’ve been together for many many years, but wanted to wait until the timing was absolutely right in their careers before getting married. So wise for such young people!  Watching them finally tie the knot was so amazing.  To know how far they’ve grown together… it [...]

Nina moved to LA from Chicago for a little change of pace.  Something new.  I don’t think she ever thought she’d be here for the long term.  Until Gurpreet.  Funny how love does that.
Nina & Gurpreet were sent to me by Paola over at Just Chic Events and I could not be more excited for [...]

Last week was a week of amazing engagement sessions!  Mariah & Edgar put a lot of thought in to the kind of session that they wanted to have.  They wanted something glamorous and swanky.  But, at the same time, they wanted something relaxed and naturey.  Two of my favorite types of sessions, and yet, so [...]

I was brimming with excitement for this wedding.  Overflowing.  I’m always excited for weddings, but this one was super special to me.  See, I never really get to be involved in the planning process.  Typically I arrive at the venue and have no idea what to expect.  But this wedding was different.  See, the grooms [...]

Chris and I bought a foreclosure in September 2008.  It was, well, a disaster area.  DISASTER!  The bones were good, but it had been neglected for three years.  And before that, the homeowner TOUGHT he was really good at DIY construction.  Turns out, super gluing tiles to a linoleum floor is a bad choice.
Slowly but [...]

All day I kept looking over at Amanda, grinning from ear to ear & said "This is entirely too adorable!"  Everything.  Every single part of this day was entirely too adorable.  Sarah & Greg are adorable.  The decor was adorable.  The family was adorable.  Everything. Adorable.  And it all made me so happy.
Greg has this [...]

When they dance together, it seems that the world is completely at peace.  Everything is quiet.  Calm.  From the sidelines, you can hear the faint of sound of humming.  Their eyes are closed and you can see just the hint of a smile on their lips.  I could literally watch the two of them dance [...]

They’re so relaxed together.  Calm and relaxed.  They just mold into each other and play off the others’ happiness.  She giggles and he beams.  Joanne & Dominik have a beautiful relationship and it was a pleasure to spend an afternoon with them.  Couples that invite me into that relationship, to document what exists between the [...]

They have they kind of house that I’d like to have one day.  Tons of people coming & going.  Extremely organized chaos full of love & laughter.   And I get the feeling that it’s like this all the time.  Friends & family all hanging out and enjoying each others’ company.  But on Breanne’s wedding day, [...]

I’m pretty sure I couldn’t adore this family more.  They’re friends of friends that have become friends and this was my second opportunity to get them in front of my camera.  A year later the girls have grown so much.  They’ve bought a new house.  But they’re still incredibly cool, head over heels in love [...]
