Sarah Mahen Photographers

I would like to introduce Windy! Windy has been my intern for this past month, and I must be honest when I say I adore her. She is just delightful and I am so sad that June is almost over and she won’t be mine anymore. There will be tears when I am all alone once again come July. Windy is currently studying photography at Long Beach. She is pretty awesome.

Windy’s experiance with photography so far has been a lot of product work, so working with the wedding crowd has been a whole new ball of wax. It’s been fun to see her reactions to this side of the industry. Yesterday she came to the studio with me and sat in on a couple consults. Of course, if you come to the studio you are at my mercy when it comes to being photographed. Like most photographers Windy was a bit unnerved about being on the other side of the lens. She knocked it out of the park though! 5 minutes around the studio and we banged out these smokin’ hot pictures of my lovely intern. What a girl!

Windy you are AMAZING and I’m so happy to have had you around. I will be so sad when you leave me! You are an incredibly talented woman and I can’t wait to see what you make of your visions. More to come of Windy soon. She joined me on a shoot yesterday, so I’m sure you’ll be seeing some of her work too.

I love Megan and Brian… seriously ADORE THEM! They had an amazing wedding at the Cathedral and then one of the most awesome receptions ever at the Firehouse last week. It was simply a joy to be a part of their wedding. I am SO grateful to know them. Here is a sneak peek of what’s to come from their fabulous wedding.

And seriously… this might be the most awesome picture ever. Megan thanks for hamming it up with my super cute hubs while I tested the light.

More to come soon!

There have been a lot of personal posts lately, and I hope you crazy cats are cool with that. But today is a big day in our house… today is Dustin’s 30th birthday! Yes, you got it right… I TOTALLY married a younger man… and I highly recommend it. Sure we are only 10 months apart… but I still say it’s the best.

Dustin is so very much my best friend, and I am so very grateful for his love and support and for him being who he is. He is my rock. He is just everything! I made a list of things I wanted in a husband when I was 16 years old (why, I have no idea, but I did!) and the crazy thing is, Dustin met EVERY SINGLE ONE of my teenage qualifications for being my spouse. Better than that though, he totally exceeds every expectation I’ve ever had for just how awesome a husband can be. I can never properly express just how much I love him and just how insanely happy he makes me. I am so happy that I get to celebrate him today… because really, if there is someone who SHOULD be celebrated it is him.

I love you Dustin! You are my friend, and I really am the luckiest. Happy birthday buddy!

And now I will leave you with a slightly wacky picture of us from our cover shoot at the Old Sugar Mill in March. It was low blood sugar time and we did whatever Beth told us to do.
