I’m sitting here working on pictures from last night’s wedding, sipping green tea and munching on a slice of pound cake, thinking really, life doesn’t get much better than this, when I come across the email Mary sent me earlier this week. I just wanted to post this because it honestly is such a meaningful reminder of why I am SO blessed to do what I do:

I finished viewing all the photos …. and I have to say WOW!!! I have never liked so many shots that I have taken! If Larry likes these shots as much as I do, we will be ordering a LOT of these shots. They are WONDERFUL!!! Before I get too carried away, complimenting your work, please thank your boyfriend as well. THANK YOU, THANK YOU,THANK YOU! I’ve never been happier with pictures that I have taken.

A bit of a backstory: when I first met with Mary, she explained how she was often self-conscious in photos and wasn’t always happy with the way they turned out (which is so hard to believe because she’s GORGEOUS!) so to hear that she liked the photos really meant so much to me. Why are my clients so awesome??

And just for good measure, here’s a semi-terrifying shot of Scott from last night’s wedding, when we were testing out our flashes:

Welcome to my new blog! Although my old blog served me well for quite some time, I am so excited to be in this new space! A special thank you to the Furious Photographers for offering this amazing blog template that I could customize away to my heart’s desire. And thank you to everyone who’s been following my blog so far – your input and encouragement is what makes blogging so much fun!

I leave you with a sneak peak of the bridal session that’s up next on the blogging list…

Images from a recent wedding and an awesome bridal session are in the works but until then, a few announcements…

– In addition to my new website, I started a facebook group! Join if you’d like and feel free to add me as a friend too!!

– I haven’t mentioned it on here yet, but Scott has been working hard on his own business! Visit Miyako Designs to check it out! He started his business to fuse his two loves, music and craftsmanship (I KNOW he tried to incorporate me in there as I’m obviously the most important love, but I can see how it just didn’t jive). He specializes in beautiful wooden amps, although he makes the more commonly seen covered ones as well. If you know of anyone who is looking for a killer custom guitar amp/cabinet just let me know!

– The Furious Photographers have launched a new project entitled Tofurious as a resource for other photographers. Their first project is an awesome awesome blog template… for free! Definitely something I’m going to be looking into (oops, did I just say too much?) I believe this week they’ve launched some album template designs as well!

Okay enough with the exclamation marks (!!) and back to our regularly scheduled blogging.
