more more

i know i should wait until i'm finished to show all these, but i'll feel more accomplished if i post these for at least one person to see (thanks for stopping by, lees!!)

wedding time!

on saturday i drove up to calistoga in napa valley to photograph katy and ryan's wedding. my first of 4 weddings in the next 5 weekends. (only two of which i was only invited to as the photographer) it was a beautiful day... a bit hot, but gorgeous. katy was relaxed and just extremely happy all day... and it definitely showed in the photos (well, maybe not that middle one. but that one just shows how fun she is)

i'm hoping to get to all of these this week before i fly to philly this weekend to photograph courtney and ray's wedding. my real goal is to have a slideshow by friday, but that's aggressive.

more to come!

leah's pajamas

okay, so i'm trying to be positive about these. because they're cute, right? i mean... in a picture, they are cute to look at. and maybe the top is even cute because it can actually be worn. but the pants!! i did it AGAIN!! how terrible are they? i followed the pattern exactly, even looked up online for errata or for other people making them complaining about how they come out, and nothing... all i found was a bunch of photos of people making these pajamas perfectly. i'm so upset because i'm pretty sure leah won't wear the top without the pants (since i know julian doesn't LISA) (also, i know it looks like a girl's top, lees) but oh well... guess i just need to learn how to sew.

anyway... here are the photos. i'm trying to be positive by posting the better photos first. at least the wrapping was pretty!! it will arrive in 6 days, kate!!

happy birthday blair!

oh no! i meant to post this yesterday!! back when it actually was blair's birthday...

isn't it always fun to still get happy birthdays the following day?? here is a photo i put together for blair of her niece, anya, who i had the very great pleasure of meeting this past weekend. she was a doll and a GREAT model! more photos of this pretty princess to come...

gigi

here are a couple photos of gigi. the first is last night's sunset and the second i think is from this past weekend at some point. we've been having some really nice weather. happy september!

chloe's 1st birthday present

i'm working on a mini-scrapbook for chloe as her first birthday present, even though she turned one way back in july. better late than never! since i live so far away and wasn't able to take a lot of photos of chloe :(, i asked lisa to send ALL the ones she had over the year. once she and aaron sent them i started going through them and doing some photoshop edits on them. here are two examples of before and after. hopefully i'll have the book done before chloe turns 2!!
