Aurora and Brian!!!

Aurora is a little firecracker - and I LOVE her!!!

I met Aurora earlier this year, when she was recommended to me as a designer for our fabulous new re-brand. Finding the perfect designer can be a daunting task, but the second I met her, I knew it was true love and she knew exactly what I was about!

Brian is the calm in their relationship - and it is the perfect balance, since these two have been married for 7 years! I asked them what the secret to 7 years was and they said, "Laugh and be Nerds..." Alright, I'll take that advice and run with it!

I also have to give major props to these two for supporting local fashion: Brian's jacket is by Laura Fulk and Aurora's dress is by Joynoelle!

May I Have Your Attention, Please...

This past week, while on the Bend [Trip], I had some time to think and discuss life, love and all it's possibilities with some wonderful women. Sometimes you don't realize something until you say it out loud. And I realized something BIG! I've felt frustrated with myself recently. As an artist, as a photographer and as a person. I couldn't figure out where or why I had these feelings, I mean, I have the best job in the world, right?

Then, I said it. I'm a people pleaser. I love to make people happy. And I know that my images make my client's dreams come true. However, the artist within me needs something more. I need to remember to make myself happy with my images to keep things fresh and creative. I need to make myself happy before I can continue to make others happy.

Thus, I have decided to take my blog back! I will continue to post images from weddings and all our other shenanigans,  but instead of posting images that I know my clients, magazine editors, etc will like, I am going to post the images that I personally LOVE!

Bend [Trip] Update!

in ,
Words can not express how lucky I feel. And for so many reasons.

This trip has been SO much fun, but more importantly, I feel like I have walked away with some true friends for life. I know, I know, I'm getting all sappy on you, but seriously. I have had a blast with these women. Whether we are going on adventures, taking crazy photos, or having deep conversations, we have been having the best week ever.

I feel refreshed. Not necessarily in a photography/art/business sense, but in life in general.

Sometimes when you run your own business, you can feel burned out. I currently feel ready to take on the world!

Make sure to check out our fabulously hilarious adventures!!!

And a THANK YOU to Lauren Clark for these first 2 photos!
