Tim, Corey, and Kim
Silver Spring, Maryland
October 29, 2008
My good friends Kim and Tim have a new baby! I’m on vacation this week in the DC area to spend time with my family and meet the two new babies in my friends’ lives. Tomorrow I get to meet little baby Eve. Yesterday I met adorable Corey! Kim and Tim are wonderful friends of mine whom I met years ago when we all worked together in Virginia. I was thrilled to meet their first child yesterday! Little Corey is two months old and completely adorable.
You might remember them from the maternity portraits we took together in June. They are such a cute couple and even cuter as a family of three.

My birthday present!
October 25, 2008
Thank you for all the wonderful birthday greetings this weekend! You guys made me smile! It was a perfect birthday, and I couldn’t have had a better day yesterday. The weather was 75 degrees and sunny, the leaves were at their autumn peak, children were wandering around in costumes, Mike and I had the entire day off to spend together, and my parents gave me a new bike! I took pictures with my point-and-shoot throughout the day; it was such a great day that I had to document it.

I’m 34 today! I guess I’ve reached my mid-30s now. I’m in a great place for 34, with a happy marriage, a wonderful family, a career that I love, and excellent health. I feel like I’m 26, but with the confidence and experience of someone who is 34. Mine’s a great life, and I try never to take it for granted.
October birthdays are fun! Today there should be gorgeous weather with autumn colors, and I can’t wait to go outside and start celebrating. I’d like to wish a happy one to my birthday buddies Teddi, Carrie, and Emily! I’d also like to wish my friends Shaun and Scott a wonderful commitment ceremony today.

I did a portrait session tonight with a family that has a two-year-old little girl. At the end of the portrait session, I packed away my camera gear. As I was getting ready to leave, Dorothy showed me her new doll. I grabbed my point-and-shoot camera from my purse to capture this hilarious moment!
A funny photo

Mike is playing a late night game with his new indoor soccer team. He hasn’t played in several months, so he’s excited to be back in the game. Meanwhile I’m sipping cabernet in the adjoining bar and playing with my new Livejoumal app for the iPhone. I finally know how to send photos from my phone to my blog! This could get dangerous.

Kristen and Eric
Holy Ghost Church and Phipps Tennis Pavilion
Denver, Colorado
October 18, 2008
I couldn’t decide which photo better revealed their personalities, so I decided to post both! Kristen and Eric are a fun-loving, hilarious couple who are also very devout in their Catholic faith. These two aspects of their personalities led to a wedding day that was elegantly profound as well as totally wacky. I loved the combination!
I had a blast with Kristen and Eric during our engagement session earlier this year. They keep me laughing! They lucked out on Saturday, with a perfect 80-degree day with vibrant autumn colors.
Thanks so much for asking me to be a part of your wedding, Kristen and Eric! I hope you’re having a great time on your Caribbean honeymoon! Thanks also to my friend Holly Pacione for shooting this wedding with me!

Ryan and Meghan
Red Rock Canyon Open Space
Colorado Springs
October 17, 2008
My friends Meghan and Ryan are getting married at Christmastime this year! They are planning a dreamy winter wedding in Vail, and I’m thrilled that they asked me to photograph it. Yesterday evening we met at my house and walked to Red Rock Canyon, where we went for a walk/engagement session. Since they’re friends of mine, we decided to bring my dog Ally with us. This part of the park is Ally’s favorite stomping grounds, so she gave Meghan and Ryan a tour while I took their photos.

Amanda and Eric
Lionscrest Manor
Lyons, Colorado
October 11, 2008
Amanda and Eric got married on Saturday at the lovely Lionscrest Manor, high on a hill north of Boulder. Their wedding had a beautifully executed pink and brown theme, with subtle reflections of their passions for dogs. Amanda and Eric train puppies for the guide dog program, and I’m fascinated by the work that they do. Their two dogs attended the wedding, including one who is leaving for his official guide dog training later this month. You might remember all of them from their engagement session last year.
Saturday’s weather brought temperatures in the 30s and a steady rain all day. It was too bad that we missed out on Lionscrest’s mountain views, but still it was a beautiful wedding, and we were glad to be a part of it.
Congratulations, Amanda and Eric!

On a regrettable whim, I bought Janie this hideous cat bed at Ikea. I must have been too seduced by the glittering rows of low-priced Scandinavian goods to think straight. I put the bed in my basement office, and it turns out that she loves the thing. Because I’m a sucker for my cat, I’m keeping the bed. She’s so cute when she’s happy. Oh well, it’s not the stupidest thing I’ve ever done for my animals.
What stupid thing have you done for yours?

Tonight and tomorrow I’ll be photographing the wedding of this adorable couple, Amanda and Eric. They will collect their guests’ signatures in this book of their engagement portraits. I love books like these, and they are always a huge hit with wedding guests. The book contains white space for the guests to sign as they browse the photos. I hope they will all love the book as much as I do!

You might remember Charlotte and Mike, the amazing yoga couple who share our names. They got married last year, and we did an engagement session where they showed me some incredible yoga moves. They ordered their sleek and gorgeous engagement and wedding albums over the summer. Here is the completed engagement book!

Sue and Manuel
Hillside Gardens
Colorado Springs
October 4, 2008
Sue is a friend of mine from my book club, and I remember last year when she told us about this amazing guy that she was dating. She lit up when she spoke of Manuel. It was clear to me that there was something special about this relationship. Sue and Manuel are an adorable couple, and I was thrilled that they asked me to be their photographer. Happy couples are so much fun to photograph, and all the cute kids who attended made the day even better.
Congratulations, Sue and Manuel! I hope you are having a wonderful start to your honeymoon!
Thank you to my good friend, Tamera Goldsmith, who photographed this wedding with me!

This is Idgi, my friend Betty’s best buddy. Betty has been out of town for three weeks, and Idgi has been our houseguest during that time. I took this photo with my point and shoot while out on a walk with Idgi and Ally. How cute is that little face?
I must remind Idgi of Betty, because she has attached herself to me. She sleeps at my feet all day while I work, and she follows me around the house where ever I go. I’m getting used to having her with me all the time, and I’m going to be sad to see her go when Betty gets home tonight. I can’t wait to see Idgi’s reaction when Betty picks her up, though. There’s nothing like a happy dog to make me smile.

Sarah and Marx ordered their album a few months ago, but I never got a chance to post photos of the album until now. They chose a black leather flushmount album with the leather flushmount case, and I think it turned out beautifully!
