Happy 1st Valentine's Day as a married couple...so excited for Carina and Sean.

Beautiful light...for great memories! Wishing everyone a very Happy Valentines Day...full of love and snuggles! xo

{wedding} Warren & Amanda

Ahhh! Beautiful weddings...did I tell you I love wedding season. Beautiful couples, amazing locations, dedicating their life to each other...can't get much better than that. I love how each wedding is individual to each couple. 

Warren & Amanda's wedding had so many great moments...from the first look,  the first dance at her grandmothers cabin, and leaving on a motorbike. This couple thought of it all.  I will just let the pictures tell the rest of the story...just a snippet of the beautiful outdoor wedding.

Congrats to you both!~ Thanks for having me capture your day.

We were photo-bombed by the curious horse! Haha!

{365 days} a photo a day challenge

I did it! well sort of...a photo a day for 365 days. I completed one full month. Random tidbits of our daily life. Forces me to remember to take a photo of my kids daily. At the end of the year...I will have a great album to design from these. Follow me on FB to see my photos. I try to use my pro camera...but sometimes an iPhone is all I have...no worries. Still a memory!
get out there and capture some memories...and remember to print them.

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”
― Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas

ps: stay tuned in the new year…working on updating site and bringing all my amazing weddings and session on the blog…until then my most current work can be viewed on Facebook.

Capturing LOVE by Dodds & Hamm

I LOVE the publicity this book has been receiving! I am even more thrilled that my image has provoked so much talk around this subject.
I would love to share this quote about love that speaks to me:

“Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision.” 
― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

Recently Thea Dodds and Kathryn Hamm were interviewed on a Boston new station with my image being featured and discussed. Check it out HERE!

Thea contacted me to share this interview. This is her words she shared on the news station:

Dodds: "It's this beautiful silhouette of two men holding hands on a hillside. And it's very dramatic at sunset in the desert — amazing pinks and purples in the sky. When I saw this photo, it was a light bulb moment for me. Because it's two men, they're connected, they both look very strong, they look very masculine. Often, I end up feminizing one person and masculinizing the other. And not intentionally; it's just because that's my background. So it's fascinating to see that photo — light bulb moment — this is what I wanna go after."

Please share this post with others and spread awareness and love. You can purchase this book by clicking on the link in the side bar.

After all....LOVE is LOVE!
