christa & lane's engagement session

Our very own Christa is getting married on July 26th! Kate and I will probably forgo the mascara altogether on that day....neither of us need to look like raccoons while shooting.

Soon our downtown will be totally renovated and we'll lose the presence of the sets these old buildings provide. Christa and Lane wanted to make the most of it, so we hiked our way over through the construction sites and turned blind eyes (and middle fingers) to the no trespassing signs to get these shots.








Check out this grumpy face of perplexity we found on the wall!









Growing up between the rubble, Christa and Lane found the biggest dandelion seed head any of us had ever seen. I'm not kidding...it was the size of a tennis ball.
They spent quite a long time coming up with a wish worthy of this find.

introducing.....**Print!

You may notice that the images in the post below have a new little logo on them... I've been working on this for awhile now and it's time to announce it. Kate and Christa will now be working out of my sister studio. I'm happy to announce that *Print has officially been launched! If you're already booked with Kate or Christa, there's nothing to worry about, nothing has changed except their business cards. :)

Some exciting new news will be announced in the coming weeks, so check back soon for the website launch, some specials, and....a contest!

Below, you'll find Kate's first wedding of the year. It's a beauty.

say "cheeeeeeze!!!"

This was very fun. As they entered the art museum for their reception, Scott surprised Jaime with a photobooth. Jaime was so excited, she was jumping up and down and for a good part of the night, there was a line in front of the curtain. Once things settled down, Christa & I couldn't help ourselves and added our own mugs to the collection, as did Jess and the planning goddesses from Devoted to Details. The most amusing thing was watching 6 big guys trying to cram themselves into a space the size of your average bathroom stall and their subsequent guffawing at the resulting photos. I want one of these things in my livingroom....


The lovely young lady to the right is Christa, the newest edition to my team. AND she's my July 26th bride!the wonderfully silly bride and groom ~

Photobooth by Flashback Photo Booths. By the way, their service was really great, too! The attendants had a nice scrapbook, scissors, adhesive, and pens to attach photos to the book and leave messages for Jaime & Scott. I love the decorative bar between the photos. Lots of guests were able to cut three of the shots off to post in the book and still had three to take home as a momento.
