Jennifer + Adam

Engagements, August 02,2011

BFF. That’s not the description of the two of them. (Well…okay that might fit them as well.) Rather, I’m talking about wanting them to adopt me. Sometimes you just know when you’re in love. In love with them to clarify. See, Jenny is exactly like…ME. Wait…that sound slightly narcissistic. That’s not exactly what I meant, [...]

Melissa + Luke (Chicago)

Engagements, July 28,2011

I love hate to tell you I didn’t pose these beauties, rather just pointed them where to be. Superbly authentic. Chemistry like this doesn’t come around often. Lucky birds. Actually, the birds in this posts were the lucky ones…and no, I didn’t plan this sentence. I love symmetry! (And by the by – one of [...]

I was on a boat.

Personal, June 28,2011

After learning the hard way from standing up in a rickety boat (and no, I didn’t sing it), garnering some new battle wounds, nearly losing a few lenses to the Pacific from said boat expedition, and some laughs along the way I made my way here. I had been eyeing this spot for an opportunity [...]

Courtney + Jay

Engagements, June 21,2011

Jay is an IRL driver so naturally we utilized an empty Indy Speedway for the session. So empty in fact that the guards forgot about us…but we eventually escaped. I wish I could just couples that weren’t so lame and boring. What’s a girl to do… Courtney, I’m still waiting to hear if minuature bulldogs [...]

CAITLIN

Portraits, May 16,2011

Internet, Caitlin. Caitlin, Internet. …except the two of you have probably already met since Caitlin is a photographer with a blog that’s content will any day rival mine since I ahem, don’t legitimately blog… UNTIL MY NEW SITE COMES! (Did you hear my capital letters scream? I hope so.) But I digress. Caitlin as well [...]

SARA : BOUDOIR

boudoir, Portraits, April 01,2011

Sara contacted me to do a session with her as this was on her Before 30/Bucket list. With a little creativity and ingenuity (read: ghetto-rigged lights!), this was created in the evening (read: no light) at this pretty little lady’s home. Sara – you’re beautiful. Well, obviously. I could photograph you every day. What on [...]

CHRISTINA + THE BRIDAL LOUNGE

Fun, Portraits, March 13,2011

A few days ago in the middle of gail force winds and freezing temperatures, I was honoured to (very quickly and frozenly!) photograph one of Ireland’s  most talented wedding photographers, Christina Brosnan of Brosnan Photographic. I know lots of you photographers roll your eyes at styled sessions with cameras for people who have nothing to [...]

BEST OF 2010: BLACKMAIL

Weddings, February 04,2011

Ahhhhhh, the Blackmail section…here’s just a tasting of some of the moments I can at least…uh…show. Thank you sweaty dancing man for giving the bride and groom a heart. So thoughtful. Sometimes ‘break a leg!’ is taken too literally. Next time just take a shot before your speech… If your new husband drops you on [...]
