Now this hardly ever happens to me…that I am invited to a wedding as just a guest and I have to say that it is soooo much fun to have absolutely zero responsibility…to be able to drink a little too much wine and dance the night away without a care in the world. Except for trying not to sit on my camera and smash it into a thousand pieces.

Well last night Gary and I attended the wedding of a really wonderful couple, Krysia & Gene held at Krysia’s sister’s home in the Burbank Hills. There were only about 40 guests in attendance and it was just so intimate and beautiful and we had an amazing time. I did of course drag a camera along with me just for fun. The official wedding photographer was Josh from Mi Belle and we got to chat for a bit.

Anyway, here are a few pictures I grabbed.

Happy Holidays to anyone who is still reading! :) I have some exciting news that I’ve been working with Ellen Petty from Identity Kitchen on overhauling my whole corporate identity and with that is going to come an awesome new blog and hopefully more frequent posting from moi. :)

I have been very busy this year shooting weddings in DC, portraits & musicians in LA, and even getting married myself. During the past couple of weeks, I’ve basically holed myself up to catch up on all of the wedding albums that I owe to clients for 2008 weddings. So today I bring you a sample album that I just finished designing…this one is actually for me but I think it’s going to be spectacular! It’s a 10″x18″ horizontal duo album from Queensberry. For anyone who doesn’t know what a duo album is, it’s basically a hybrid of the more traditional matted album with a more contemporary flush-mount album. They are very cool and this is what I plan to use for my own wedding album. If you are a wedding client of mine, feel free to ask about how you can upgrade your package to include one of these babies (if you’re into it). So here it is, hope you all enjoy!

I know I have just been the worst about updating this blog and I keep on apologizing for that but I do have some good news…I am in the process of re-branding my business and with that is going to be an all new blog…coming early in 2009. Yay! But in the meantime, I figure I might as well prove that I have actually been hard at work and not just sitting around twiddling my thumbs. :) So here are a bunch of random portrait images…

Here are the always delightful Pettus kids…shot during a holiday mini session in my home studio.

Hey everyone, I know I’ve been gone from this blog for ages and ages but hopefully you’ve been following things on my other blog, The Unbride in the meantime. But now it’s time to get back to business and sharing all of the images I’ve shot during the past few busy busy months.

On Friday I did a quick session with the band Letters to Cleo who played a reunion show at the Roxy in LA on Saturday night. Those of you who know me know that my brother Michael and his wife (& my sis-in-law) Kay spent many years in this awesome Boston-based band until their move out to LA a few years ago. So it was pretty exciting for family, friends and fans to see them together once again. Check Kay’s blog for info on upcoming east coast shows in NYC & Boston…

Hey everyone, it’s just one month and counting down until my own wedding so as you can probably imagine I’ve been just a little bit busy and haven’t had much time to keep up with my blog but I didn’t want to lapse too long because I know everyone gets bored reading the same posts over and over again. So here’s a new one. Just last night I finished the draft design of Erin & Sean’s wedding album. These two had an awesome wedding in Annapolis on May 31st and Erin was a sorority sister of mine in college so it was a particularly fun event for me. Hope you enjoy!
