Saturday marked the beginning of the 2010 wedding season here at SMP and HOLY MOLY did Allyson and Ben do us proud. I seriously can’t wait to get these pictures all rocked out because we had the most fun ever photographing these two and their amazing friends and family. I just am so excited about 2010! And these two have set the tone! I mean, when I said to these two crazy kids, “Hey, look! A gun store! Let’s take my liberal self in there and take some pictures of you guys with big ol’ guns!” They RAN INTO THE STORE! Yeah, I love them.

More to come! So stay tuned!

So, as many of you know I’m heading off for a week long vacation with my adorable family. I am SO FREAKING EXCITED I CAN’T STAND IT! We are taking LJ to Disneyland for the first time and I seriously feel like a kid at Christmas. I am so excited for her to see all the things she loves so much! This is more exciting to me than my OWN first Disneyland experience. It’s going to be awesome and I just can’t wait. Of course, getting ready to go on vacation is a job itself. I’ve been pulling a lot of late nights trying to get everything done before we leave. Sadly, I shot more than I could edit in such a shot amount of time and won’t be able to get everyone their entire collections before we leave. I do however have some sneak peeks for you!

I can’t properly express how much I love this picture… like I think it should be a canvas in the studio. Don’t you think so too?

Thanks to my awesome clients for being so patient. Being creative EVERY SINGLE DAY is so much harder than I ever thought it could be. Doing what I love is such a blessing, but it is definitely hard work and I am so happy to be having a little time off to recharge my batteries and spend some time with my family. I feel so blessed to have such a supportive husband and such a delightful daughter. I am just going to bask in the light they give me for the next week. Thank you all for everything! Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving with your families! Please remember emails and phone calls will not be returned until November 30th. Happy Thanksgiving!

Holy Moly September and October have been hectic to say the least. It’s always a crazy time of year with getting geared up for the holiday season and because fall is the new summer when it comes to weddings. We’ve shot 6 weddings in 6 weeks and have two more this month. We are so excited about the 4 weddings we have left for our 2009 season. I can hardly believe it, but we have MORE THAN HALF of our 2010 dates sold and are no long taking commissions for the month of June 2010. We only have one available weekend each in May and July 2010 as well. Thank you to all of my amazing couples for being so freaking awesome and for having us be a part of this great time in your lives together.

I know my cute couples from the last couple of weeks are anxiously awaiting their images, so I have a couple sneak peeks for you guys. First the ever lovely Natasha and Stetson followed by the fantastic Jill and Jacob.

I can’t wait to share more of these lovely wedding with you guys! They are so fabulous!

Also, I wanted to let you all know that I am out of the office for the rest of the week. I am shooting a fabulous fundraiser for the Rainforest Action Network tonight in San Francisco, and then a wedding in San Ramon and a family session for some of my most favorite people in the universe. I will be back in the office on Monday to return emails and phone calls and all that goodness. Thanks again to everyone for making 2009 so freaking great and for giving me so much to look forward to in 2010! See you on Monday! Have a great weekend!

But, what I do know is this month has been filled with awesome weddings, and we have one more to go, and basically I LOVE MY JOB! I feel so blessed to have such rockin’ couples! So, keep your eyes open for more from these lovely couples!

I am also really, REALLY excited to take today off. I haven’t had a day off in… well… a long time. And so, today Bethie and I are off to the spa for a full day of refreshment and rejuvenation. I am so excited about it that it is kinda silly. I am thrilled to be spending the day with my dear friend and recharging my batteries so I can get all these super rad pictures ready for everyone. With that… here are some fun pics of me and the Dusters we took of each other this month. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my husband? I mean, he’s super cute and brings me diet coke at weddings so really, what is NOT to love? He’s the best… and cute… oh so cute.
