I’m so excited to finally be able to see and pre-order a new camera bag by Kelly Moore! The website just went live today and I have already spent way too much time looking at the bags! Kelly is one of my favorite photographers and the stylin’ mama of one of the cutest little girls ever – Miss Po’. I’ve been following Kelly’s blog forever and while her work is always AMAZING, it’s the post on Po’ that always make me smile. I mean – check out her going to church outfit! So, I am not surprised to see finally a stylish bag that has function. And BONUS – it comes in purple!!! Kelly is offering a special discount: Take $50 off with the code “bloglove”.
I can’t wait to carry this bag throughout the next wedding season!

Wow! It’s hard to believe Christmas Day is already come and almost gone! That whirlwind of tons of weddings mixed in with loads of Christmas card family sessions makes for a busy time of year. Here are some of the custom designed cards.
This is my personal card, featuring my new baby girl Macy.
I put an “in memory” of sweet Lennox who passed away in August, since not everyone would know and wonder where Macy came from.
Some of my favorite client cards:
Several other clients did the cards with actual prints or used Tiny Prints. I always love hearing feedback from the moms about how excited their family and friends were over their cards.
Next month, a new wedding and finally a new children’s website will be launching. Plus, I may actually blog more than once every 3 months.
Happy New Year!

In the last year, I have really neglected my poor blog. At first, I was just “too busy”. Then, I got used to posting to Facebook and Twitter and started using those outlets to communicate in 140 characters or less and share images. Lastly, I started revamping my branding and decided I absolutely hated the background on my blog and it’s format. So, today I am happy to reveal the new blog face lift and get back to putting some effort into actually posting.
My New Year’s Resolution for 2010, the new decade, was to “move forward in 2010″. I actually based this on the Ray Lamontagne song “Empty”. Here’s the video on YouTube.
I never learned to count my blessings,
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters.
In the last 5 years, I have had a lot of personal loss and it has been overwhelming. At the same time, my business has exploded and I have been blessed with so many awesome weddings and couples that I truly credit with being the reason that I have made it through. But with lots of weddings, comes lots of editing, which honestly when I switched to digital in June 2006, I had no idea how to do or manage. Finally, after 3 years of constantly being behind, I actually had 2 weeks of no weddings to edit! It was an amazing and awesome feeling. I hugely credit Jared Platt and the one day workshop I did in Atlanta in November. It has been one of the best things I have done for my business! I kept convincing myself that if I have images to edit, I can’t take time to blog. Now, I am happy to have time and make the effort! Hold me accountable, friends!

Photographer blog posts must have images! Here’s the story behind the image at the top of my blog: Marina and Justin were married at Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Valle Crucis. Justin’s dad officiated and is actually an Episcopal priest. I was kind of heartbroken when no photography was allowed during the ceremony, but was happy to honor their wishes. I ended up sitting by the door, so that I could get the first photos of the couple as they exited the sanctuary. They were so full of joy and Marina was both laughing and crying.
