Among the most sincere clients who demonstrate one of the most authentic love relationships I have ever witnessed is this couple. Jen + Nadav are pretty much the definition of soulmates. They not only finish each others' sentences and light up when they are together, but they are a wonderful representation of selflessness for the sake of a beautiful joint effort. They could teach us all a thing or two about how to work together as couples, I am sure. Maybe they should go on tour. I'll be their manager. Any takers?
Their wedding day at Vintage Villas in Austin was filled with heartfelt moments, gorgeous scenery, and loads of laughter. Adding to the festivity was Nadav's family, who came all the way from Israel, as well as many of Jen's family members from all over the U.S. I adored the winter wonderland theme that Jen and her friends Lisa (the rainmaker...girlfriend worked her tail off with the event design + production) and Ruth (fab floraliscious mama) created. It was magical in so many ways and helped set the stage for all of the day's little miracles to unfold. I was beyond honored to be there to capture them as they did, and am so glad I now can call Jen + Nadav friends.

Hope to get together with you guys in the future for a margarita when I come to Austin. Hugs to you both!

What a cutie, what a cutie, what a CUTIE! Oh, I am so blessed to have this great job during which I get to be around the most precious babies all the time. I get to play with them and ooo and ahhhh and don't have to change any diapers and get to know their cool parents. What a lucky girl I am! Knox and his rad 'rents, Amy and Keith, were a prime example of why I lurve what I do. Not only was Knox one of the cutest baby boys that I have ever met, but Amy and Keith are supah laid back and stylish to the nth degree so you KNOW that inspiration was around every corner during their shoot. This was, by far, one of my favorite newborn sessions yet. Hope you feel the magic.
Gotsta give a HELLZ YEAH to Amie (Taylor Kate's mama) for referring them to me. I heart you and hope you guys are rockin' and rollin' on the toddler scene! ;-) Xoxo!

Can't wait to see you guys again at Knox's 6 month session! What fun it will be to see how much he has grown!

I am so ecstatic. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief that one Walt Goodson is actually a human. See, my best friend's older brother has, very frankly, always scared the pee-pee out of me. He's freakishly tall, stoic, and has one of those jobs that I can't really talk about because somebody might hunt me down. But, last Saturday night at Jen + Nadav's wedding, in their photobooth, there was a cosmic shift. Why? Because I got my little hands on this puppy, and I'm holding on to it for dear life...just in case someone feels the need to hunt me down. ;-) Don't shoot me, but if I may say so, he rocks an Afro wig like no other country boy I have ever had the privilege of meeting.

Sooo funny! He's really just a teddy bear, right? .....Right???

I just wanted to say, in case anybody important is reading this . . . I WAS friends with Kate, but I'm not anymore. Actually, I'm not sure I really even know who she is. Um, Kate who?!

I cannot believe Karch is one. He has blossomed into such a little charmer and that was well demonstrated during our session's beginning at the local Waffle House. From his grins to his sprints to his curiosity and Cheerio-smuggling, he had everyone in the joint absolutely enamored with him. After breakfast, we went back to his crib to play a little bit. Of course, he had some cool moves. Here is what we came up with.
What a darling boy...I can't wait to keep up with him over the years. I have a feeling he's gonna be a lady killer!
maile says:
amazing, as usual...love the under the table ones. Your work has such a great un-staged documentary feel. xo

loves!

My first wedding of 2010 was infused with true emotion, devotion, hilarity, chemistry, authenticity, and supah cool people who like to get their party on. Basically, Diana and Clay wrapped up everything I could ever ask for in a wedding and handed it to me in a beautifully wrapped gift bag. I absolutely adore this cute couple and their families and friends. It was a joy to have their complete trust and to really get my photojournalism on and dig my heels in to capture all of the fleeting moments for them...'cause that's what it's all about, right? No fake bakery here, folks. Real, raw, and from the heart is what I do and I am so blessed to have clients who get that 150%.
I have to thank Joanna Anderson for hanging out with me for the day. The cake shot of the couple below is all hers. Way to rock it, Jo! She'll be stickin' around with me for a few fun weddings in 2010, so be sure to welcome her aboard this crazy train.

Love how unobtrusive your getting ready shots are. My fav is most definitely the shot of her puckering up to put on her lip gloss. Beautiful bride!
