Heart Boketh Experiment

 Of course every day pretty much starts with coffee…This photo of Starbucks was actually sort of an accident. But I loved the way it turned out. The next few are experiments making heart boketh. And the last photo of course is what regular boketh looks like.

For those who aren’t familiar with boketh… boketh is the blur,or the out-of-focus areas of an image. And I think its just so beautiful. Especially in hearts!

What do you think? Regular boketh or heart boketh??

The Rubels | Family Portraits

Dear Gap,

I think I have found your new baby model! Meet The Rubel’s. They hired me to take some family pictures and some of Ethan since he is a year old now! He is SO cute and I think he could definitely be a little model for Gap.  L-O-V-E this first one of the family and the one with Ethan and their dog.

Thanks Rubel’s for asking me to shoot your photos! And thanks for braving the cold!

Megan Ciampa - Gorgeous! Reminds me of the Gap commercials: “I love my comfy sweater, I love my comfy sweater!”

Jenn - We love them! Poor Lou, he was freezing! Can’t wait to see the rest, thanks again for doing them

Lauren - How darling is that boy!?!? What lovely photos. I especially love the one of the boy and his dog. :)

Stephanie & Bryan | ENGAGED

 Meet Stephanie & Bryan. They are getting married June 26th, 2010. They were sooo easy to shoot. I’m not sure what makes some people easier to shoot than others? But I think with them it’s their ability to make each other laugh. They are sooo cute and fun together. Thanks Steph & Bryan for a fun afternoon! Can’t wait to shoot your wedding!

Hope everyone enjoys a few of my favorites. The first place with the barn was where Bryan proposed…it was so pretty with the lights! Such a great idea. And so cute for photos:)

Hello Fall

Hello Fall

I have this thing with SMALL leaves. Whenever I’m walking I like to try and find the smallest leaf. Back when I would walk to classes I would look for the tiniest leaf I could find, pick it up and keep it till I found one even smaller.

Isn’t Fall a happy time? I don’t know anyone that doesn’t love Fall.

Makes me want to get a Carmel Apple Cider and make Christmas ornaments.

Yes…Christmas ornaments. Well actually I’m just thinking about them at this point. Probably not going to bust out the arts and crafts just yet… but I could bust out some Christmas music already!

Lauren - i picked up the reddest leaves today. i will have to show you… some of them were even tiny.
