Minnesotta and more album designs

Well I made it to Minnesota just fine. I arrived at 8:00 Minnesota time last night and Preston and his wife Annie picked me up. They decided to go grab a bite to eat and took me to the Mall of America... even though I didn't have much time to see it all they said I had to at least see it. Crazy... a theme park in a mall, that is nuts!!! So we ate some good Italian food and then they dropped me off at the hotel.

Today we shoot the wedding. 7/7/07.. this is supposedly one of the most popular days to get married. If you know of someone who got married today I would love to hear how it went!

On to other news.. I said I've been doing a ton of albums lately and I keep forgetting to post them up for you all to see, so I decided to go ahead and try to keep posting every once in awhile so you can see them. I love albums. I think they are the final part to a wedding because it pulls everything together and really tells the story of the day.

This album is going to be 9.5x13, so it's a really good size. These books are beautiful.

Catherine and Christopher just sent in approval to order this album, so this is their final product. They loved it.


PS. I know I spelled Minnesota wrong above but my software will not let me change if for some reason. Computers can be weird sometimes.

Heidi and Jake

I've been dying to post these pictures, but i'm trying to post as many days as I can, so this post had to wait till today! So glad it's going up!

This is Heidi and Jake. Heidi has been a friend of mine for over 9 years now and Jake is her husband. Now that I have finally met Jake I consider him a friend as well.. he rocked and is perfect for Heidi! While I was in Austin for Melissa's wedding I was able to take some pictures of them. They had a bad experience with their wedding pictures and told me that they don't have a good picture of the two of them. I hear this so much and it makes me so sad... so I told them that we had to go do a sort of "engagment session" with them.

We met up in Downtown Austin, which was amazing, and spent an hour or so walking all around taking some awesome pictures.

I LOVE going to new places to take pictures, it just brings so much creative freedom and I get so excited when I see cool places that will make a picture! Walking around in Austin for me was like seeing a little girl in a candy shop... I kept saying, "wait stop I see a picture", "oh stop again", "this is the last one I promise.. oh wait there is another one"!!! I couldn't get enough of it.

So, for some of you these are the pictures you have been dying to see!! Enjoy!!

Heidi and Jake, you both rock and did such a phenominal job!! I hope you LOVE them!!!









I must give credit to MaryBeth Tyson, who is another of my wonderful friends. She came along with me and shot some amazing stuff. This is one of her pieces.








This is another MB shot... I LOVED it so I had to share.

Marybeth also shot this picture, which I thought was fun.. me in action.

This is the picture I was shooting.





Driving around I saw this blue wall which just made me so happy.. It was so different and I envisioned so much with it! You will see this again in some family shots I will hopefully be able to post this week!

Melissa and Rick

As you all know, I am in Austin and leave tomorrow morning.

The long awaited pictures of Melissa and Rick are finally here! Yesterday I photographed Melissa and Ricks wedding. The wedding was GORGEOUS!! Taken place at a mansion in Austin, TX, Melissa and Rick were married outside in the front yard. The house was beautiful, but nothing in comparison to Melissa. She was stunning!

Melissa is a good friend of mine and it was so amazing to meet her now husband Rick. They are so in love and it shows. What a wonderful couple, inside and out.

Below are some of my favorites from the wedding. Coming soon are day after pictures. Melissa and Rick met me this afternoon to take some amazing sexy pictures and I promise you will want to see them, they are HOT!!!
