back in action

Hello again, it's been a while . . . It's been an interesting year with a lot of transition and a lot of life to live and when I'm busy and behind with work, the blog is the first thing to go. Neverless, I still love the blog, an outlet and a place to share my heart and my art with you all and so I'm making a new push to blog more often. I'm going to catch you up on work I've done over the last year and new stuff I'm up to now. You inevitably will see a lot of my family, because I love them more than I love photography :)

These photos were taken at an extended family vacation over the summer. I blew this first one up as a 30x40 in our living room. I love it! We got so wind blown . . . it was wonderful :)

The Johnstons

So, I'm catching up on blogging weddings from the fall :)
This wedding is dear to my heart because it's my cousins! Roland and Olivia are special people and I love them dearly.
Here are some of my favorite images from their day.




Isn't she lovely?











Love this shot



Roland is a surfer, so he got married in board shorts and everyone wore flip flops. It was pretty fun.








Tulip was responsible for the beautiful flowers.




Tucker is the best dog in the whole wide world. If I ever get a dog, I'm going to have Roland train it :)
























You guys are beautiful and I'm so glad I got to shoot your photos. Olivia, I am so excited to be related to you welcome to the family you are a gift to us!

Cardoza part du

Well, I'm not finished with these sugar faces (as Ashley would say), I found some more fun photos. Here they are . . .

Remy Jane

This is my daughter . . . she is really precious.

time and all eternity

Ok, I know I haven't blogged for time and all eternity, but I've been pregnant and had a baby (which I'll blog about later ;) ) So here is a tasty little snack for all of you. A few of my favs from the Cardoza Wedding.

The Twins

My great friends Connie & Taylor had twin girls! They are precious little things and always a joy to be around. Connie & Taylor have also handled twins with much grace. Here are a few shots from a shoot we did a while back. I can't wait until the girls are old enough to chase Avery around:)

The Elizabeth Anne Designs Library

Elizabeth Anne Designs contacted me about a new library they are launching tomorrow that sounds very exciting. Be sure to check it out and leave them your feedback! Their blog is such a great resource for brides, I'm sure their library with be rockin:) Thanks again ladies, we are all so thankful that you share your goodness with us. Below is some info the ladies sent me about it. Enjoy!

We are incredibly excited to announce our new project, The EAD Library. After months of development and research, we are launching a new resource for brides tomorrow, Tuesday July 22nd. The Library is filled with hundreds of useful links, from photographers to shops to stationers. Our goal is a simple, comprehensive list of vendors. The Library will help every bride, no matter her location, find the vendors and inspiration she needs for a beautiful event.
