Major Heather Carlisle


Hooray for Major Carlisle!
Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland
October 21, 2005

Last Friday, my cousin Heather was promoted to Major in the US Army’s 101st Airborne. We are so proud of her! Her parents traveled from their home in Montana to her base in Maryland, to attend her promotion ceremony and party. I flew in from Colorado, and attended with my parents from Virginia. It was a fantastic celebration in honor of a hard-working, talented, and very cool chick. Congratulations to Heather!

Birthday

October 25, 2005

I turn 31 today. :)

It will be a fun birthday! My good friend, Sarah, and her family are coming to visit from Virginia! She, her husband, and their son arrive at 2, so I’ll show them around the town for a bit during the afternoon. Tonight I think we’re going get sushi and then go to a piano bar with a couple other friends.

But first, I am going to go get a massage!

Website of the Week

October 24, 2005

I got some exciting news in my inbox this morning. Collages.net, the company that hosts my online galleries, serves thousands of wedding and portrait photographers. Each week, the managers of Collages select one gallery as the “Website of the Week,” and present it to the enrolled photographers as an example of beautiful photography.

The great news is that Collages would like to feature the pictures from our recent Vail wedding as the Website of the Week! That’s exciting news for me, because their featured galleries display some of the most beautiful wedding photography I’ve seen. It’s an honor for us to be included in that distinction.

I encourage everyone to respond if you can:

Where do you live? What country and/or city do you call home? I’m curious!

Piney Lake


Piney Lake
Vail, Colorado
September, 2005

This beautiful location was the setting of a wedding that we photographed last month. What a gorgeous place and perfect day to get married! The sun was shining without a cloud in the sky, and when night fell, a velvety blue twilight wrapped around the mountains.

Mina and Chris

October 10, 2005


Chris and Mina
St. Louis, Missouri
October 8, 2005

Congratulations to Mina and Chris! Mike and I had a wonderful weekend in St. Louis, where they celebrated their wedding under clear blue skies and in the company of loving friends and family.

Their story is so sweet! Chris and Mina were childhood playmates in the Philippines. Chris and his family later moved to the US, where he still lives today. Years later, he and Mina reunited and discovered that they were a perfect match. They have spent their relationship separated across thousands of miles, waiting for the day that they would be together. This wedding marks the end of their separation, and the beginning of a beautiful marriage.

I’ll post more pictures in a few weeks, after I’ve had a chance to sort through them. In the meanwhile, here’s a few preview photos. Mina and Chris, Mike and I hope you are having a wonderful time in Hawaii! Thanks for asking us to be a part of your special day.

October 7, 2005

This afternoon we’re flying to St. Louis for a lovely wedding tomorrow. It’s going to be an amazing day! The bride and groom have devoted three hours to portraits, and they have selected some beautiful locations around St. Louis for our photo shoot. I have been googling the locations they have selected, and I’m getting really excited! We’ll be taking pictures at Washington University, Forest Park, the Art Museum, and other gorgeous settings. I’m just so happy to have a couple that is able and willing to devote so much time to their photographs. We are certain to take some beautiful images for them!

Aspen Adventure

October 2, 2005

Outside Aspen, Colorado
October, 2005

Yesterday we continued northwest and chose Aspen as our destination for the day. Neither of us had ever been there, but we figured that it’s one of the Colorado destinations that every resident must see. As we descended into Aspen valley, we were overwhelmed by golden fields of vivid autumn aspen trees, apparently a fitting namesake for the city.

Twin Lakes


The town of Twin Lakes, Colorado
October, 2005

Mike, Ally, and I celebrated this gorgeous autumn weekend with a roadtrip. We had no weddings this weekend, so we slept late on Saturday, and then drove west. The weather was perfect–75 degrees and sunny. The aspens were at their peak color. We had no idea where we were headed, which was just fine with us.

We took a break at Twin Lakes, north of Buena Vista.
