It's here! And I admit it feels like a great big holiday. Many thanks to Jared for his mad skills and some cool customizations. Everything, including the old posts, is moving over here...

See you there!
I had to add more! I couldn't help it. I looove this series. Since so much went digital I think photographers worry a bit much about crisp, bright, etc... And I love the moody fuzziness in these. They feel more like film... They feel like Paris to me...
Oh how I loved Paris. Everything about the food, the wine, the people, just the feeling of the city was contagious. It's possible that my French may have even improved just a smidge over the course of the trip. But by far the highlight for me was photographing Alycia and Audrey in their incredible gowns from Amarildine.
We criss crossed the city in limos traveling from St. Michel à Bastille to the Opera House to the Trocadéro view of the Eiffel Tower. We had clouds, sun, rain... and we had the best time! Alycia and Audrey were fearless! I remain forever indebted to David and David for their boundless energy in helping us arrange this shoot.
Now I'm just plotting my return...
The spring/summer issue of Brides Colorado highlights Michelle & Philip's absolutely gorgeous mountain wedding. Would you believe they did all these incredible details themselves? If you've met Michelle it's really no surprise -- she has the energy of ten people! I was so excited to have the wedding chosen as a feature. And the editors even chose a darling photo of Michelle and Evie for the table of contents page...
I'll be out of the office until March 25th... because we're in Europe! (And then a couple awesome Vegas shoots.) If you need to reach me during this time please do so via email and I'll try to keep up. Although I would imagine that the shopping and chocolate and wine and cheese are going to be seriously distracting...
On the off chance that anyone's going to be in Paris/Dublin/Galway/Vegas over the next few weeks check out this post and come for a shoot!
Have a great few weeks and stay tuned for updates. We're even shooting video...
What an absolutely incredible week! We were invited to Devil's Thumb Ranch this week to photograph the new lodge and spa for their marketing materials... and wow! The ranch has always been an incredible destination but what they have added is just stunning. It was the most luxurious winter wonderland. I'm still sad that we didn't get snowed in so we could stay longer!
My deep gratitude to Suzanne, Bob, and Penne for choosing me to bring the ranch to life in photographs and to their incredible staff not only for helping me in a thousand ways but also for making a week of hard work into a romantic getaway for Jodie & me as well. I can't wait to go back!
Can't sit still. Can't sleep. I'm starting to dream in French...
We're going to Paris! And Dublin and Galway. But really, for a girl like me who loves few things as much as chocolate and shoes it just doesn't get any better than... Paris! We'll be there for a few weeks and I'll be traveling with some of my favorite photographers... Julie and Regina and our dear friend Anne. Girl time in Paris! If I weren't so in love with my husband and the wonderful weddings we're photographing in the states this year I might never come back.
I also need your help.
We're planning two more shoots on March 6th & 7th and I'd love to find at least two more deserving couples to work with. So if you know someone wonderful (or know someone who knows someone wonderful), who is in Paris (or Galway), or can get there, and would love to be part of an amazing shoot please contact me as soon as possible.
I promise wonderful posts and amazing photos of our grand Parisian adventure!
Such an amazing week!
I've been in Dallas with the incredible Jesh de Rox opening my heart and mind and artist's soul. And wow! There are so many wonderful things coming in the next few months and this was the perfect kick off to that journey. Time spent with Jesh and several other stellar photographers has got me so fired up I can barely sleep. I can't wait to reveal what's next!
Many thanks to Stacy, Melanie, Susan, Kate, Jeremy, Hans, Lauren, Julie, Anahi, Kelly, Kym, the Mansion on Turtle Creek and the terrific delivery guy from Campisi's for making this an experience to remember! I spent Friday morning in the glorious spa below and feel refreshed for the journey that's coming. Stay tuned! This is going to be really fun...
(And the images above were taken on my swanky new iPhone! Yes, I finally upgraded. The first three people who see me out and about and ask to see photos on it get a terrific little prize!)
I'm an early riser. Sleeping in looks like 7am if I'm lucky. But this morning, Christmas morning, it worked out to my benefit. Awake early I peeked out the window to see what the weathermen thought we had slim chance of receiving this holiday... snow. And at this quiet hour when even the most anxious of Christmas children haven't stirred yet, not even my husband, it feels like magic. If I listen closely I can almost hear Santa's sleigh winging out of sight.
Merry Christmas to all! In the first morning light...
(My Christmas surprise was my sweet husband coming out the door just after this photos was taken. He thinks his girls, the dog and I, are nuts. But came out to join us in celebrating Christmas snow anyway. Our own little Christmas miracle... :) )
What could possibly be better than Saturday afternoon and bridal gowns? Lots and lots of bridal gowns!
I joined the wonderful women of Anna Be Bridal Boutique to photograph brides choosing their dresses and we just had the best time! The only thing better than a bride every Saturday is many brides in the same day. And their moms, friends, sisters, aunts, nieces... it was just too much fun. When the champagne started to flow I knew that I had found a new home.
A special thank you to Anna, Breanna, Jordan, and Kalli. And to all the wonderful brides I met. I won't share names or faces so it can all stay a big secret from the guys. You know who you are! Enjoy your super secret slideshows. Congratulations! And look for your dress below...
