Posted on July 29, 2010
I’m so pleased with how this session turned out ~ but really, Ashley is already stunning so that tends to make my job a tad easier. 
Here are a few of my faves….
Seriously, the girl needs to be a model!
Thanks to Ashley Meyers for her fabulous makeup artistry!

Mary and Jesse ~ SoCal Wedding
Posted on July 18, 2010
I was a little nervous. I had never shot a surprise birthday party….but it sounded so fun! How hard could it be, right? So off I went to Mary’s party ~ and not only was it a blast and not only did I get some great shots, but I kinda fell in love with her family. She’s got these amazing kids ~ a few of them and they reminded me of my own family back in Louisiana. So imagine my extreme excitement when Mary contacted me 2 years later to ask if I might be interested in shooting her wedding! This is why I love what I do ~ I have the opportunity to form relationships with my clients and see them in various stages of their lives, and their kids’ lives…it’s sorta great.
Mary is a detail person and her attention to those details is why her wedding was as beautiful as it was. That, and she also hired an insanely fabulous wedding coordinator ~ Chris Albanese with Argyle Events. I almost wish I were getting married again so I could hire him. Yeah.
The wedding took place at Middle Ranch in Lake View Terrace ~ beautiful facility and thankfully, the wedding took place before this horrid heat wave we are having here in Hades, I mean Southern California. The flowers and centerpieces were thoughtfully created by Claire’s Flowers (Claire Cullen Middleton) and I loved the vintage look of all the floral arrangements ~ vintage, yet current…so pretty. Cynthia Brooks Distinctive Catering presented some fabulous food (and vendor meals – gotta love that!) and the gorgeous cake was provided by A Sweet Design. In all, it was a magical, fun night. And many thanks to the amazing Amy Teegan for some awesome second shooting. Here are some of my favorite images:
