A match made in heaven....celebrating 15 years together.



My dearest friend Carla has expressed to me numerous times how much she regrets not having had any professional images taken at her wedding, 15 years ago...
Well, I told her, better late than never...and really, after all these years together, and knowing each other so completely now, this shoot was a breeze. All I had to do was set them up and let them be their quirky, crazy, still madly in love selves.
Thanks you two...I hope you love them as much as I loved taking them. You are an example to all of us that a bond between two people can grow and become something spectacular if you allow it to.

To my sister....

"To be pregnant is to be vitally alive, thoroughly woman,
and undoubtedly inhabited."

Anne Buchanan & Debra Klingsporn

"Before you were conceived I wanted you. Before you
were born I loved you. Before you were here an
hour I would die for you.
This is the miracle of Mother's Love."

Maureen Hawkins

"Being a mother means that your heart is no longer

yours; it wanders wherever your children do."

Author Unknown

"Everything grows rounder and wider and weirder,

and I sit here in the middle of it all and wonder who

in the world you will turn out to be."

Carrie Fisher



You are undoubtably the most beautiful mom-to-be I've
ever seen...and although you are by nature VERY shy
about your body, I'm so glad you trusted me to push
you to the edge of your comfort level. Hope you agree
that it was well worth it....


Love ya sis-

Photobooth fun- for everyone.....




I had a blast last Saturday, second shooting for edward ross photography .
Amazing couple- TOTALLY in love; there were funny, entertaining & from the heart speeches; VERY rare indeed...put together by an incredibly talented event planner, Amira. Hotel Arts is a great venue, by the way.

Edward Ross (Boss man) & Robby R

New this season ... ready for it??....introducing the 'Photobooth'. ( okay, new for us anyway..)
Set up in a matter of minutes, this easy to assemble white studio backdrop, along with soft lighting = FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

I haven't had the opportunity to shoot so many quirky, off beat guests EVER. Oh, and how about the fact that you can actually get a good pic WITH the newly married couple AND with old friends and family members that you haven't seen in ages?? Like really, it's practically IMPOSSIBLE to get a properly exposed image at receptions with the dim lighting and crazy colored dance floor strobes going!! Hard enough for photographers to get it right with our equipment, never mind for the average point & shoot camera....

Nice thinking, Ed- here's hoping it'll be a hit!

Alyssa's debut....




What an AMAZING family to work with, sooooo easy going and down to earth. Christal and I became friends a few years ago as VT companions, and I was thrilled when she asked if I would capture her little arrival. Sweet Alyssa...only 4 days old and SO alert! I had a blast, even when Cooper REFUSED to smile ( although, I did get some adorable smirks out of him).
I hope these images brighten up your day guys....MUCH more to come on your online gallery.
