One Month

I came across this link today on Facebook from fellow (& awesome) photographer/biz wiz Kevin Kubota. It linked to a wedding he recently shot. What made this wedding different was not the techniques or how lavish the decor was. It was memorable because of the story, their story. I won't retell their story because frankly i won't do it just but click below & have a kleenex ready....

Ryan and Bethany served as a reminder that its not always the years of relationship that matter but the strength of the love it has.

It got me thinking. What if? So after I read this, Greg came and gave me a hug while I was cooking dinner. As I stood on my tip-toes hugging my future husband, I felt silly for agonizing over putting our wedding on hold. I made sure he knew that in that moment he knew no matter what, being able to wake up next to him and spending time with was worth more to me then having a big ol' wedding.

So to all brides, remember that weddings are beautiful and a momentous occasion but what matters most is cherish the love between you and the most important person waiting at the end of that aisle.

Portraits: Cowboys & Reflectors

This post has been a long time coming. Now that Spring has finally and the dreary days are lifting away, I can finally get out and shoot some more. I purchased my first reflector last week for a newborn session. Unfortunately plans changed but I wanted to give it a whirl so I enlisted the help of the ever handsome Greg and did a quick 10 minute shoot. Below are the results: (Once someone quit whining about not being photographed)


I have a few sessions lined up in the next few weeks so it should be interesting Spring!
