So...our flight got delayed, which was a pain in the butt.  However, upon arrival, we were greeted with this view our balcony: SO yeah....I never want to leave!!!  Stay tuned for lots more amazing photos! 

I know, I know, I have been the lamest blogger *ever* this past month.  I promise, I'll be better!  Lots of good stuff coming up.

Bright and early tomorrow, we leave for Mexico to photograph Meghann and Mark's wedding, which is sure to be amazing - here they are after their "official" church ceremony last week

It is going to be an incredible time!  Plus, am I ever ready to get out of this miserable winter weather for a bit!
Soooo...you all know the drill by now - out-of-town means I might now be as reachable by phone or email.   So don't panic if I don't return my emails right away.

Enjoy the week!  Not sure what my internet access at the resort will be, but i'll try to blog a bit if possible!

I photographed Heather's wedding back in 2006, and I was so excited to hear that she was opening her own Pilates Studio!  I met up with her earlier today to do some promo shots for her website and marketing materials.
here she is showing off her moves on the Pilates reformer and Gyrotonic machine

another instructor, Alexi, demonstrating some exercises on the reformer



I must say, it was amazing to watch these girls move!






Check out Heather's website to learn more about Willow Wellness Studio!  Congratulations lady - the new studio is fabulous!  looking forward to learning how to bend and contort into all those positions ;-)

I thought I'd take advantage of my 'slow' season by sharing some fun wedding trends I've picked up on.  One of the cutest things i've noticed over the past few years is that more and more couples are incorporating their animal friends into their big day. 

Here's some of my favorites:

First up are Dan and Monica with their adorable pooch Alexus, who joined us for both the wedding and engagement shoot!





Next we have Craig and Melissa
this shot totally cracks me up!  just look at that tongue!



We can't forget Sarah and Mike with Tang the kitty

Steve and Amanda (who come from a whole family of dog lovers!!)
How cute are the ties?!

these lucky pooches were even commemorated on the cake topper

Today is my lovely mother's birthday!!
 
here we are all glammed up for a night out



Thanks for all your love and support through the years, mom - have a wonderful day!!

XOXOX

At long last, my new camera has arrived!  I pre-ordered this baby months ago, as soon as it was announced, and am only just now getting my hand on it.  I'm so excited to start playing with it - word on the the street is the files are even better than it's predecessor the 5D, which i've been shooting with for the past few years.  Higher ISO, better resolution, and HD video, which i'm really excited to start incorporating into my slideshows ;-) 

Just in time for Meghann and Mark's wedding in Mexico at the end of the month - wahoo!
