José and Berenice's Wedding Day!

You should remember a while back I posted the wonderful engagement session I had with José and Berenice in L.A. (I am still in love with that shoot!). Well they finally got hitched! And it was beautiful. The wedding had originally been planned to take place in a lovely garden in downtown, but the weather was more than disagreeable, so to the church we went. But despite this upheaval, the wedding was completely filled with love, happy tears, and huge smiles. I'm so blessed to have captured the wonderful day and happy to share my favorites here! Enjoy <3

Fun.

I'm obsessed with this song right now. And the music video, oh the music video. My dancing string has been strung.

Oh, Florence, this is to fabulous. And that hat is killer. I love this, enjoy it.

Jose & Berenice: Engagement Session in L.A.

Well look at me, posting on my blog (which has a new web address btw)! Didn't think that'd ever happen again. But hey, I have a good reason to start again! I am working on building up my photography business here is my new Cali home and I just finished editing my first photo shoot since moving here and I have to say, I quite love it. 

Jose and Berenice are a sweet couple and I am so grateful that they gave me the opportunity to take their engagement photos! For their e-sesh we drove down to the Santa Monica Pier then explored the absolutely beautiful Griffith Park in L.A. The are so in love and the happiness they have when they're together is obvious in the pictures (which made this photographer happy also)! I had a great time doing this shoot and I look forward to hopefully many more!

  

Also, special thanks to my Love, Nate for being the best photographer's assistant a girl could ask for :) Ain't he cute?

Something We Like

I have news, late news, but good news!


Back in January I was surprised to be contacted by a fellow artist on DeviantArt (an online community for artists to share their work) asking me if I would like to participate in an interview on his website. At first I was kind of skeptical, but I checked out the site and realized that I was being given a great opportunity and honor! Something We Like is a wonderful site that features talented artists and their work on a daily basis, giving three artists the spotlight at a time. I honestly was surprised that I was being asked to be featured, but I gladly accepted the offer and filled out the questionnaire that day!


After I sent in the interview, I was told that due to the high number of artists that they feature, it may take some time until mine pops up. In my mind, I thought this meant a couple weeks, but after waiting for about a month I began to doubt myself. "Oh, they probably decided they didn't want to feature me after all." So I forgot about it and moved on.


Oh silly me. Today I was browsing over the work of some of my favorite photographers (which I've shared below!) and remembered the interview. I decided I'd go see if they had ever posted my interview, and what do ya know? I had been featured on March 7th!! Oops! That was a while ago! haha


So I'm a little bummed that I missed that actual day I got featured, but I still find it to be a huge honor and I'm definitely excited that these chaps liked my work enough to share it with the world!


Go take a peek! My "Chit Chat"

Yup yup! Now I'm going to eat a Kit Kat bar from Easter and not feel guilty about it!


Now enjoy these beautiful photos! And maybe eat a Kit Kat bar for yourself.
