Parlour shoot!

When Parlour approached Penny and I to do a shoot for them we jumped on board. We always will, partially because it's always a blast, and also because when else do you get 10 people styling some glamazon while you shutter away? It's amazing and thrilling... and terrifying when your business partner is out of town and you do it on your own. But I did it, and it was liberating. Partially because I rely heavily on Penny for direction sometimes even though I can take great pictures. I just like it when someone says I'm doing it right. Make sense? Anyway, working with the lovely Chelsea we accomplished some crazy things despite a massive thunderstorm and finicky lights on someone's property without permission. Here is my pride and joy. I promise to always remain humble and stand back in awe of the beauty around me. Especially when I'm directing. Thank you to an AMAZING team. Love ya.

 The shot above is my favorite, I think. This was the light as the sun was setting right before the storm hit us.

 I love the mood of this one above as well.

 Actually this one is my favorite. I love the underexposure.. breaking the rulez....

Salome and Andrew Wedding

Here are some photos from Salome and Andrew's July wedding (yes we are a bit behind on our blogging!). There was such energy and emotion all day and we felt very lucky to have been a part of it!

Salome had the BEST bridesmaid crew. They massaged, fanned, pampered and fed her which meant she was super relaxed and happy by the time they were done.

While waiting for the family to arrive we took some photos of this little guy. Cute!

 We were impressed by Andrew's ability to hold the tee in his mouth for so long while trying not to laugh!

The speeches were incredibly touching and emotional, most of the guests were in tears by the end.

One of the many things that always impresses me about Aspen is her ability to catch moments that most people don't see. The above photos are a great example of this as well as the photo below (when she showed me I laughed so hard I almost cried).

Salome and Andrew hired a live drumming band to start their reception. There were so many people dancing that when I was on the floor below you could almost feel the floor shaking!

Salome and Andrew

Aspen and I usually have really good luck with the weather (knock on wood) but we had to reschedule this shoot twice! Salome wanted some shots with blue sky and yellow canola and Mother Nature was not having it. Our first shoot was hampered by a crazy thunder and lighting storm, the second time it rained and we even managed to get sprinkled on for this, our third, attempt! Luckily Salome and Andrew are the lovely, laid back that don't mind shrugging off a little rain (and maybe a spider or two) in order to get a great photo!

Tania and Shawn Engagement!

I feel honored to have Tania Gonzales as a friend. Not only is she radiantly beautiful inside and out, she lets me take her picture whenever I want. When Tania met Shawn I instantly knew he was different from the rest. Not only is he a rancher, who's family has a strong connection to the land he works, but he is kind, and sweet and a perfect character foil to my ultimately city-chick friend. It was hilarious to see a girl who wouldn't be out of place in a Sex and the City movie because of how much she loves good shoes and great clothes tromping around in a field swarmed with mosquitos patiently allowing me to get my shot. Petting a horse she's not too sure about, and letting her son wade in a puddle only because she loves me that much. I can't wait for their wedding, so here's a few shots to tide us all over until then.

I double checked everything on my list of equipment before I made the four hour drive to the ranch... I pulled it all out amidst the swarms of mosquitos and set it all up... and then realized I had forgotten one half of my transmitter. OOPS. So all of these are natural light, except the ones below, where I got creative and used the headlights from Shawn's truck to get my shot. I really like them, mostly because the memory of the trip resides in these the most for me.

I'm in love with this horse already. his name is Coors ( Shawn you should be embarrassed about that, btw) he comes when you call his name, and he seems pretty much the happiest horse ever.

That is a fierce look if I've ever seen one...

Tania is not looking at Gabriel while I'm taking this shot...

Now we're both laughing as I'm trying to get this one. it was so hard because I was almost doubled over.

What you don't see is when he tried to drink the puddle... that might be a little far even for me

We stripped him after the puddle incident because he reeked, and I got this shot in the garden, which I love because he's only quiet when he's getting into trouble... but it's beautiful nonetheless.
