Adventures in editing: accidentally clicking the "teeth whitening" option and giving a person's entire face a lovely zombie appearance. Don't think that one will make the final gallery 😄

So grateful for my fiance and his brother for busting their butts to paint our master bed and bath today. Now time to grab a little sleep before a sunrise engagement session in Old Town!

Can neither confirm nor deny that I coordinated my outfit with my rain boots as I got ready to go second shoot a wedding...

Excited! This image is going to be on display for a private gallery event!

Sometimes, it's important to take a pause and, after lots of thought, I've decided that's what I need to do. At present, I won't be booking any new clients for 2015 or early 2016, but don't go away - I will still be sharing some personal or "just for fun" shoots here, with the goal of coming back re-vamped sometime in 2016! Thank you SO much for all your support thus far - I couldn't ask for a better group of clients and fans!

Discovered bubble tea today thanks to potential new clients. This stuff is awesome!
