Every time I hear a truck on the street, I jump up from my chair to see if the FedEx man has a package for me. Just about every day, I’m receiving albums. Seeing the books is so rewarding for me as a photographer. I’m typically drowning under mountains of digital files that need to be processed. So to see a beautiful, finished book is GREAT!

I’m so EXCITED about my recent switch to album companies back in September, and everyone who’s seen them is very impressed as well.

I’ve been making a ton of white albums with a accent stripe. This is a really popular choice! The white & brown is hot–I’ve made 2 of these color combinations already.

Another white album. This is a 12×12 square. That’s a big book! I only carry BIG albums.


Favorite spread from Kara and Niall:

STUNNING SPREAD….I love, love, love!

Kara and Niall were married last September 5th. I really enjoyed the getting ready part of the day with Kara, her maid of honor, Sara and her mom Jackie. This was a super fun day. The ceremony was held at St. Lucy’s Church and the reception was at the Atlantic Beach Club.

Kara and Niall were married at St. Lucy’s Church and had their reception at the Atlantic Beach Club. The pre-ceremony was so fun and relaxed hanging out with the girls. Kara was not nervous at all! Kara & Sara are quite the pair! (Try not get all tongue tied with those two names, huh?)

Kara and Niall entertained my wild requests, like, “Oh look at those curves in the sand from the polluted water! Those look cool…go stand near them!” (You’ll see the photo in a second and it will make sense) Thanks for being fun and up for anything!

For favors, guests received a custom printed beer koozies and starfish or heart shaped wine corks. The corks also doubled as place cards. Very cute idea you know is going to get used! And lastly, we played with sparklers on the beach before heading home. What a great wedding!!

At the reception, they had this wicked cool band from Boston, called The Chicken Slacks. You can listen to their music on the website I listed below. I liked Chicken Slacks because we actually conversed during dinner!! Typically, the vendors sit together during dinner and you wouldn’t believe how many bands don’t say a word to the photo/video people. But me and the guys from the Slacks had a lovely conversation. Diamond D is one cool guy and knows how to keep your guests up and dancing. And you know what was the best part? They didn’t play “Brickhouse”, “Don’t Stop Believin”, “Livin on a Prayer” or the “ChaCha Slide”. It was a nice change. Check them out if you’re looking for something different.

I’m obsessed with shoe pictures.




St. Lucy’s is so cool…the architecture allows for some really cool angles.



The getway Vette! Way faster then a limo! I was behind Niall when pulled out of the church parking lot…wow, that engine just sings.


I love this picture!!!! It’s so simple, but I love love love it.



This is the shot I was talking about earlier…
