Published on Style me Pretty!

June 5, 2010

So excited to be published again on Style me Pretty! I submitted this wedding that I shot a few years ago for their recent feature for fashion week. They didn't use it for the fashion week spread, but published it on my Little Black Book blog. I shot Sarah and Matt's wedding on 7/7/07. Sarah is still one of my most stylish and creative brides and I'm thrilled that her wedding is finally getting it's proper due! Sarah has since started her own letterpress company called "Hearts and Anchors"! Have her design your wedding invitations and save-the-dates! She's super creative! Here's a few screen captures from Style me Pretty. You can also view the whole feature on SMP: Style me Pretty - Sarah and Matt

Snippet & Ink & Grace Ormonde's New Book!

May 4, 2010

You know, it's funny. Sometimes I don't even know when I've been featured on a blog or in a book! I was chatting with a friend on the phone and she told me she did a google search on my name and there were five pages of results! Out of curiosity, I did the same thing. I never knew I had been published on Snippet & Ink! Just a little photo of some paper crane placecards, but fun, never-the-less! Check it out on Snippet & Ink. Also, I just got a notice from Grace Ormonde that some of my work is featured in her new limited edition book! It looks like it is a gorgeous book. It's called "Grace Ormonde Weddings - Being in love never goes out of style"

Ethiopia Slideshow!

March 19, 2010

I'm back a little more than a week now from an amazing experience of travel in Ethiopia. I mentioned in my last post that I was going with two dear friends to help them bring home their two newly adopted children. Not only did I experience gorgeous scenery, wonderful people and some wild animals, but I also got a glimpse into the pure emotion and joy of the adoption process. Not only did I experience this with my friends, but with the other families staying in the guesthouse with us. I am truly blown away by these amazing new parents who have opened their hearts and homes to just a handful of the 4.5 million orphans in Ethiopia. I have a somewhat condensed slideshow for public viewing. Of course the slideshow I've created for my friends includes a lot more of the meeting their kids and getting to know them shots! I've snuck a few shots in this slideshow, but mostly this is about the overall experience. Here is a link to the slideshow: Ethiopia and here are a few teasers. Enjoy!

Today's Bride!

March 16, 2010

Such a lovely little resource book! I first saw Today's Bride displayed at the Magic Flute restaurant in San Francisco and immediately decided I wanted to advertise in it. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that in addition to my ad, Suzanne of Atelier Des Modistes used one of my photos and another photo from a real wedding shoot of aisle flowers done by Natasha of Waterlily Pond was used as a chapter opener! Pick up a copy of Today's Bride!

Style Me Pretty Little Black Book Blog Feature!

March 11, 2010

I'm always thrilled when I get a feature on Style Me Pretty. It's such a gorgeous bridal blog! This is my first time since becoming a coveted "Little Black Book" member, that I've had a feature on their "LBB" blog! Gena and Ryan's wedding was so gorgeous and I'm thrilled that an indoor ballroom wedding is getting featured. Not all weddings are outdoor wine country weddings and the classic San Francisco venues are all so gorgeous and worth checking out!

Thanks to Amy Nichols of Amy Nicholes Special Events, Floramor,The Bently Reserve and of course, Gena and Ryan for such a perfect and gorgeous wedding to photograph! Click on this link to view the feature: Style Me Pretty

Off to Ethiopia!

February 12, 2010

Sometimes life just throws you some great surprises and opportunities! I am off to Ethiopia and will be gone for almost a month and I leave tomorrow (February 13th). I have the honor and rare opportunity to help two dear friends from Chicago pick up and bring home their two newly-adopted children. I will be taking pictures along the way of course, but have read that internet availability in Ethiopia is spotty at best, so am anticipating not being able to share anything until I return. In the meantime, you can gaze at the picture of Em and Glenn's adorable children (they are brother and sister)! For anyone who e-mails about availability, at the very least, I will check e-mail once a week and will get back to you as soon as I can!

Au Revoir!
