She’s got dancin’ legs for miles and miles.    Why not hoist her up there and spice things up a bit!!!???  This isn’t the Save the Date they chose, but it IS one of my favs!

Have a lovely day!

My little sis is getting married! I got together with her and her fiance waaaay back when and am JUST now blogging our little adventure. They had the most original idea for their save-the-dates, so we hit up an extra superfine (that’s a word, right?) junkyard for some fun. We spent most of our time doing crazy stunts and silly business (aren’t you curious?) and then had a couple minutes at the end for some portraits. Still working on the save-the-dates, so no sneak peek, BUT it’s going to be super cool, vintage & original!

Isn’t her hair fun? It’s always been bright red!

This bus says “UNITE” — we loved that! I usually don’t have clients face the sun in situations like this (ultra bright and painful, that sun!), BUT I like the vibe they’ve got going on.

Ahhhh…LOVE. We can’t WAIT for the big wedding in September in Los Angeles. It’s going to be a blast to celebrate their union and get together with family and friends that we haven’t seen in a long time. Plus, Peach is going to be a flower girl and Fella…you guessed it, the “Ring Burier.” <--that's what my kids call it. Hilarious! Oh....and my amazing pal Jen Fox is going to use her mad wedding skills and photograph the wedding. And because I probably won’t be able to put my camera down, I’ll be in there too, until my kiddos pull me onto the dance floor.

Love you two…can’t wait!
Have a grrrrrreat day!

Lovely, lovely bride and groom!  SO creative, in LOVE, and what fun at this amazing location!  I LOVE that they wanted images in a bus…near an old green truck…in front of a dumpster…next to a bunch of bright blue recycling bins.  They saw beyond “junk” and recognized the beauty.  I LOVE it when clients have that kind of trust in their photographer!!!

I am so happy I had the opportunity to second shoot this wedding with the uber-talented (and super sweet) Jeanette LeBlanc. We were a great team and the day went by really quickly!

Have a super day! I have some shoots during the week (due to spring break) so be on the lookout for some fresh faces. ~m

I had an awesome Friday afternoon with this super cool couple. They were TONS-o-fun: constantly laughing, loving, & smiling. I have so many fresh and fun images from this session, choosing which images to present in their gallery is going to take me FORever!!!

These two are both dancers, so stay tuned for some *hot* dancin’ pics…with toe and tap shoes.

K and D — you two are incredible & I’m so excited for the both of you for your October wedding!

Have a great weekend. ~m

She said she just wanted me to capture their love…

I think we did just that. 

Have a terrific day.    ~m

On Saturday evening, I met with this super friendly, full-of-life couple.  I am a total sucker for a good love story and was fortunate enough to hear both sides (that’s always fun!).  Cute, cute ,cute! 

A & J met at the top of Camelback Mountain three years ago.  I *love* that they wanted to have part of their session there.  And ya know what?  Even though J loves to hike, they hadn’t been back there together.  I was honored to capture them reuniting with the mountain that long ago served as their meeting place.   But FIRST, we started out at a gorgeous historic residence in Scottsdale.

And lastly…

Isn’t this fun? 

Lots and lots more!  Have a superb day!  ~m

More from this cute {love} session — vintage style!

I’m not used to shooting in full sun…we didn’t have much choice as far as time goes, so I learned a lot!  Even though the lighting isn’t even on their faces, it gives the image depth and excitement.  I love that I can see their sheer happiness. 

The amazing, gorgeous M.

{awwww}

Thanks, you two!  Miss ya already. 

Have a super day.  ~m

Had a mini session today with M & B.  My pals Jen, Jess and I all photographed these two, which was a great learning experience & an all-around great time.  Ahhh…the locations in Bellingham were just amazing.  The weather was too — I’m going to have to visit again soon. 

This couple was SO much fun and obviously completely adorable inside and out.

Thanks SO MUCH for workin’ it, you two!!!  More fun pics to come later!

Have a super day.     ~m
