Pauline of Elations Weddings & Events Planning contacted me earlier this week to take a few photographs of their Spring Jewelry Party launch. All the details from the event were tastefully and beautifully coordinated. I especially love the use of orange (::wink::).

Some photos from yesterday:

The party is still going on today from 5 to 8PM and all day tomorrow, so brides and brides-to-be give Pauline a call!

This weekend I headed out to Williamsburg with Carolina at the Fife and Drum Inn to photograph her bridal portraits and I have to say that this girl is gorgeous! She and the camera just loved each other and she knew how to work it (not that she needed to considering how beautiful she is!). It was truly a pleasure to be able to work together with her to come up with some fantastic and fun images.

Carolina definitely could do no wrong with these photos! She wore her pearls with a Vera Wang dress. The pearls have been in her family for a long time so it was a nice touch to be able to work them into her photos that I am sure her family will appreciate.

Here are a few of my favorites from the weekend:

Thanks for a fun time Carolina. You are the best!

The other weekend I managed to get a few snapshots of my nephew when he came over to visit. I suspect that the main reason he likes coming over (other than seeing Uncle Brian) is to play with my super-cool Mr. Potato Head accessories that we bought from our Disney World trip a few years ago.

It is so amazing to me to see how quickly children grow up. I think photography should be representative of the everyday day to day living, as well as the big events and celebrations.

And with that in mind, here are a few of the daily part of life kind of photos. This one makes me laugh because he was obviously distracted by the toy:

And how can you say no to this face? I get this regularly when he wants me to do something. Add in a “Please?” and then I am done!

And this one just melts my heart because it was almost nap time:

Hope you are having a good day! I am ready for the very nice spring-like weather we are expecting today!

This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Amy and Karl’s small civil service ceremony before they head off to Taiwan for their religious ceremony. They kept this one small, because from the stories they have told me, they are expecting hundreds of guests overseas! I think their ceremony here in the States is pretty special too.

Unfortunately it rained so we didn’t have much opportunity to take photos outside, and they actually had to delay their plans slightly, but it was still a lovely time and it was so sweet to see their guests praise them both and to see the love they have for each other.

Their beautiful wedding cake:

A couple of portraits:

And a few black and whites:

Congratulations Amy and Karl! Have a wonderful time in Taiwan!

Our new website has been up and running for the past week.

I especially have to thank Brian’s super computer skills in putting it all together.
