Jessica & Dan 06.07.08

Every once in awhile I get to shoot a wedding in Ohio with my great friend Carmen of blink of an eye photography. Jessica and Dan's wedding was in Cincinnati, and they had a special meeting before their evening wedding to take some pictures fun pictures in Mt. Echo Park. To keep the tradition of not seeing the bride in her dress before she came down the aisle, Jessica had a second "REAL" dress for the actual ceremony which really surprised Dan! I have never heard of anyone doing this, but it totally got him.

Lisa LeCuyer is heading for Buffalo, NY!

Watch out for Lisa LeCuyer, she might be on Broadway soon! With her energy no one will be able to keep up!

I'm in love with this typewriter and I can barely compose!

It's rare that I have a compulsive need to post four version of the same image, but I am in love with this typewriter and all the different ways it can be processed. Do you have a favorite?

JIM BEAM & MAKER'S MARK!

Here are some images from the recent 4th of July Whiskey Good Time Festival that I got to photograph in the bourban capital of the world, Bardstown, KY! Who knew that the Jim Beam warehouses were such killer backgrounds!

Summer Bella

Heather called me awhile back to schedule shoots of Bella at 6 months, 9 months, and a one year and I have to say...what a good mom! :) So far scheduling and good weather have worked out well! This is Bella at 9 months welcoming summer at Splash Country and then hanging out at my house. Bella has learned that if she rolls the football away from her, Heather will chase it. Needless to say, this was a long game. It was worth it, because this was a special shot for Heather's husband Jay's birthday present. He had figured out every other present and this was the last chance to surprise him. Bella is one happy little girl. I would have NEVER guessed that spraying water in her face would make her laugh over and over. Good thing Heather did. I love how much Heather enjoys being a mom and enjoys Bella. Before I know it, Bella will be one year and I will be sure to post more pics. We are both October babies, I'm just a little older. :)

The 1st Annual 4th of July Whiskey Good Time Festival Trip of Awesome!

I just now surfacing from a fun weekend in Bardstown, Kentucky with some old and new friends. There are so many images to share, but I thought I better get at least one of our attempts at a group shot on the blog. I will be feverishly working on the images and then putting them in their gallery for all to see.

Aubrey's Headshots

Headshots for this little girl? YES! Aubrey is winning so many contests that she is headed to Las Vegas. Kids are always quick on their feet, but I have to say that she moves faster than anyone I've ever photographed. Luckily there were plenty in focus to choose from! One thing I have learned about Aubrey...she loves to throw rocks. :)
