Everything I love about my job is right here…wrapped up in this little family & the love they share. Julia & Jona celebrated their 9 year anniversary yesterday ( congrats guys! ) and I’m hoping these images will be an everyday reminder of what a beautiful life they’re building together. Welcome to the world baby Quin…

Oh, and Zoe wins the best doggie kiss award…see below ;)

This sweet trio was sent my way by one of my hubbys musician friends. The video for their song “My Way or the Highway” has become a YouTube sensation, with over 100,000 views and let me tell ya…these girls can SING. They did a little impromptu acapella performance during this shoot & my jaw hit the floor. Not only are they three of the brightest rays of sunshine I’ve ever met, they are incredibly talented & committed to making their collective dream come true. Don’t be surprised if you turn on iCarly to find the Gardiner sisters making a cameo… these 3 are on the verge of something big.

We had so much fun chasing the sun on this cold January afternoon. I’ve never met 3 more talented, funny, silly, humble, FUNNY, beautiful, ( did I mention funny? ) teenagers. They come from a family of 8 brothers & sisters, and to hear them talk about their younger siblings really gives you a glimpse into the heart of these girls. Its no wonder their fans adore them…they’re the perfect combination of beauty & talent, with a dash of humor. Its only a matter of time before a label snatches them up & I can say I knew them when…

I love seeing our couples featured all over the web. Here are a few places you can check them out…

One of Ashley & Michael’s images was published in the Design-Minded Bride section of the latest issue of Southern Weddings Magazine. My woodsy wedding collaboration with Elissa Keno was featured on the uber lovely blog Postcards & Pretties. Two favorite images from my Taste of Spring shoot with Elissa Keno were featured on the Lovely Bride blog. A sweet father-daughter dance shot from Ellison & Jeremy’s wedding received an honorable mention in Junebug’s Best of 2010, and I had 2 wins in the ISPWP’s fall contest. Its always an honor to have my work listed among such talented friends & colleagues. I’m a lucky, lucky girl to get to live my dream every single day.
