Beau and Sarah Wedding

LOVED this wedding, LOVED everyone involved. This first pic blows my mind... Look how romantic that kiss is! Actually all the pics blow my mind, I love every single one.
This couple and their families were so gracious, kind AND stylish... MEOW!
Thank you, thank you for letting me be a part of your big day.

It was so nice working with David Perry and Sam Abujebarah once again and working with a bunch of new vendors I have never previously worked with, all of which were top notch! I have to point out, btw, how impressed I was with the band Beau and Sarah chose. I am a HUGE music buff and was blown away by these guys... and it takes a lot for local musicians to impress me, and that they did!

VENDORS INCLUDE
Video: David Perry
Car Rental: Something Vintage Something Blue
Reception Center: Cucina Nassi
Music: Daniel Day Music

Happy Belated Birthday Beck

I've been patiently waiting to show you these adorable pics that Katie and Dan from peekaboo photography took of Beck for the new spring Naartjie catalog. Beck is the PERFECT Naartjie baby if I do say so myself! When we did these, it was the time of Becks birthday so Whoo-hoo for his 1 year pics, he has a bugger of a time looking at his mom for pictures, this whole thing worked out perfect! Ella was also invited to join in the catalog and looks so freakin cute, get your hands on one if you can!

Danielle Maternity Shoot

I LOVE this shoot!!! First off Danielle was so, so easy to photograph. She is truly a classic beauty, pure and simple. Anybody recognize my most favorite film man? That's right, it's David Perry and this is his lovely family! I was totally honored when they asked me to do this for them, I mean do you even have any idea how many photographers David knows? Like a gazillion. So thanks guys for asking me! We really wanted to take these in an apple orchard because Danielle has craved apples her entire pregnancy, but by the time we could finally get together, all the apple orchards were bare... boo. I DO like the simplicity of the apples in the basket though, I think it gets the point across.
Thank you David, Danielle, and Drew Perry
AND
Thank you Sam from Something Vintage Something Blue for such an awesome car!
