fête{ography}

The other day my blogger friend Hilary who writes the blog Hilary with one "L"wrote me an email and attached some fabulous photos from a wedding she and her partner Kendal had shot and some images of children they had captured on film. I love being able to share these with you all. If I were to pick a word to describe their work it would be happy! Their company is called  fête{ography} which I think it perfect and is out of Virginia. Everyone must check out the website to see more of their work. Thanks so much Hilary and Kendal for passing these along.
Make sure to check out both of their blogs...
Hilary with one "L" and this is happily ever after.

Matt & Amanda

Katie Stoops sent me these awesome e-session photos to post about and I could not be happier to do so. This is Matt and Amanda and they just seem so comfortable and happy in front of the camera. They are from Charlottesville, Va and Matt happens to be the designer to Katie's website. Well done Matt! I love the photos in the furniture store and the one with the whale tale in the background is well....priceless. More photos are here at Katie's site. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see Matt and Amanda's wedding! 

An Afternoon WITH....

Michael Mundy started a blog/project about people and the spaces they live in. This is Martynka, and this is where she lives.

Martynka Wawrzyniak is a visual artist. She is also a book editor for Rizzoli. Her work can be found at www.martynka.com. Shot at her apartment in Downtown NYC.

I like being able to see into these homes, un-staged with them just living. Not perfect, just what it is.

Cool Camera Technique

I just found the website Kevin and Amanda and they posted the coolest idea ever about how to make a custom filter for your camera. Now, the thing is you must be using a manual, old school looking camera. No point and shoot fit in your back pocket camera. What it does is takes the light score ( a Christmas tree would be perfect) and makes it show up in different shapes. I love the hearts and snow flakes. There are step by step instruction here and I would love for one of photog friends to try this. I am looking at you Katie...can we try this the next time we hang out?!! I just love this, it is just so sparkly and fun.

what do you see?

They say walrus, I see mermaid tails.

Philly Love by Katie Stoops

Katie Stoops shot these amazing e-session photos in my city. That being Philadelphia. They were mostly taken in Northern Liberties which is a super cool part of the city. I love being down there and the restaurants there are soo delicious. Bar Ferdinand is one of my favorites...Spanish tapis at its BEST. This couple is so NOLO. They just look so in love and so effortlessly hip. Katie just shot their wedding and I can't wait to see how they turned out. I will make sure to share those images too. To see more e-session photos head on over to Katie's website and feast your eyes.

On fire!

Boulder is dealing with some major fires right now. My best friend Eliza lives in Boulder and took this shot. Its actually quite beautiful, destruction and all.

Wedding- Ben and Alena

Hi all, here are some pictures from my brother's wedding. Aren't they perfect? I love the shots of the "first look". They are priceless ....Alena is like...."HERE I AM...WHAT DO YOU THINK!!??" It was such a beautiful wedding and Katie of Katie Stoops Photography did the most amazing job. Katie has become like family. Her work is amazing and if you ever need someone to capture your most precious moments than she is your girl. Ben and Alena's wedding was such a happy day and both the bride and groom looked stunning and I know they will forever look back at these photos and remember what a great, special wedding they had. You can see more photos from the wedding and see other examples of Katie's work here.

Congrats to the new married couple!

look a like.

My best girl Julie always tells me that I look like Lily Allen. I used to have a hair cut just like that. I sometimes think she is right but most of the time not. Then I saw this picture and I kind of saw me. Weird. I know. Do you think or others think that you look like someone famous?
