DC and Atlanta

I am very happy to say I now have two places I call home. My husband Paul got a job in DC so I have moved up to Northern Virgina to be with him. I have moved in the fact that my dog and husband are up here, but I will still do most of my photography in Atlanta. I will spend half my year in both places. For the busy seasons I will be in Atlanta for all the wonderful weddings I have coming up and for the off seasons I will be up in Northern Virginia advertising. There are no travel fees for Atlanta or the DC areas. Please keep the referrals coming from Atlanta and if you know anyone in my new home town please send them my way! Tomorrow I am off again to Atlanta to cover the Wine Auction for the High Museum and to celebrate my birthday. Thanks again!

Jean and Matt

After some well needed time off what a great way to start the season off with an engagement shoot in DC. Jean and Matt are just easy to get along with and a lot of fun to hang out with. I didn't even notice the time fly by. I have included a few of my favorites pictures from the shoot.

Laos

I love being in a seasonal industry. It gives me my much needed travel time. This year I had an amazing trip to Hong Kong, Laos, and Cambodia. Laos was one of the most laid back and beautiful place I have ever been. We made friends with monks, rode elephants bareback, trekked through hilltop villages, and visiting some truly spectacular temples. Since I am better with pictures then with words here are some images that sum up our trip!

Cambodia

I love Cambodia. Angkor Wat was well beyond anything I could have imagined. I was there for 4 days and I felt like I had only seen a fraction of it. Every wall had these amazing carving each with a story. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

Music Photography

I decided recently to dig through all my old music photography and put some up on my website. So many memories... I do kind of miss shooting bands, but honestly I am much happier with what I am shooting now.
I loved going to concerts with a press pass that said "Rollingstone". The industry did get very competitive and I was just one of many taking photos of bands. I feel much more special seeing my wedding images on a person's wall, or pictures I have taken of people kids being carried around in wallets. It makes me feel like my wedding and family photography is truly loved and that makes me feel great. I hope you a enjoy of few of my favorites from back in my music shooting days!

Anastasia & Rick

I just love my friends! They are all very unique people and sometimes a bit random. I got a voicemail a little while ago from a couple of good friends Anastasia and Rick. It said basically that they were leaving in 2 hours to go get married. I was so honored that they asked me to be there as a friend to witness the courthouse ceremony!

After the wedding we went for a beer at their local bar and walked through one of my favorite bridges in Atlanta, the Krog Street bridge. I took just a couple of pictures and really love them. Anastasia and Rick have some crazy strong chemistry, and it showed. I am so happy that they are finally married and look forward to more crazy memories!

Ellen & Jeff

What a way to finish off the year! Ellen and Jeff are just such a fun couple. I knew it would be a great wedding just from our first meeting at Taqueria del Sol. We sat back over tacos and talked about the big day. Every single time I met with these guys they just laughed and smiled the whole time. Both Ellen and Jeff are the sort of people that you are just happy whenever in their presence. I had such a great time at the wedding!

When the wedding finally came, it went off just flawlessly. Ellen and Jeff decided to meet up before the wedding for their pictures and I am so happy they did! The colors were perfect with a little bit of light shinning through the yellow and green trees. Ellen made a stunning bride. Her blue eyes seemed to glow brighter then the trees behind. Thank you guys, I had a blast!
