Just got in Paul and Kendra's Luxe Album, and it is too delicious not to share!  Wish I could keep it for the studio ;-)

They chose a fun, corrugated aluminum cover
Here's a closer look at the texture and binding

the album opens with a translucent velum title - so pretty!

And here's a few layouts

a closer look at the matting:

Eliana became a bat mitzvah this past weekend.  Isn't she gorgeous?!
We did these portraits at Temple Israel, which has a beautiful sanctuary to photograph in



Here she is with the folks

And her just-as-adorable little sister Natalie ;-)

The party Sunday night was at Boogie Fever, and it was a blast!  Eliana chose a 'wicked' theme to celebrate the Broadway musical (which i saw last year in new york and LOVED!).  Here's just a few of the awesome details they put together:

A couple more portraits of the bat mitzvah girl and her family

Star Trax MC Blaire was amazing and really kept the party going!



candlelighting...



a dance with dad...





This was such a fun bat mitzvah - everyone has a blast!  Enjoy the preview!

It's official - 2009 wedding season is upon us!  dan + brenda were married Saturday up in Bay City - everything was beautiful.





I really like this image Tommy captured during the ceremony - it reminds me of high-speed black and white film (tmax 3200 anyone!?)





good times on the party bus

some portraits around downtown...







here's some of the cute at patricks day details - including green beer!

Tommy made a new friend ;-)



Congratulations dan and brenda - have an incredible time in Jamaica!

Marie is just getting ready to launch her website, and needed some images to highlight her makeup artistry.  I had so much fun with her and her models doing this shoot - wine, gossip, makeup - might as well have been hanging out with some girlfriends ;-)

Check out some before and afters:

We deliberately kept the photography fairly straightforward, to really let the makeup shine ;-)








and here's Marie!


For any of my brides still looking for a makeup artist, Marie has some openings left for 2009 - you can contact her directly at msmakeup2008@gmail.com

Thought I'd share some fun images that I captured in Mexico while I was down there for Mark and Meghann's wedding.  It's always so much fun to wander around in new places with my camera ;-)  And the light down there was just ridiculous - and colors, colors everywhere!

some random snaps from town

i think this is my favorite (from the puerto vallarta zoo).  Flamingos ROCK!  we're actually thinking of making a huge print of this for our living room (if we ever finish our remodel, that is!)

some other fun animals





and a few from our visit to the tequila factory!

thanks again to meghann and mark for bringing us along on the adventure!

Did a shoot with this cutie today - just six weeks old!

meet baby millie - isn't she cute?  I shot mom and dad's wedding back in 2006 - so fun to meet their little one!
she's such a sweet, happy baby!

regular blog readers are aware of my ongoing love affair with baby feet ;-)
