testing my outfit. hot as hell under the wig, and i'm hoping the makeup sealer keeps the makeup from running. but it's pretty priceless so far..

thanks hatnim for your beautiful eye.

happy bday, k! these are the family ties that bond us.

a+j (whose wedding i'll be shooting in oct) had loved the photobooth shots i'd taken at s+j's wedding a few months ago. they requested something similar, but perhaps without the need to find their own picture frames. i suggested a postcard design in which their guests' photos would be shot and framed, then printed to 4x6s. so far so good..

as i get questions from curious couples about my experience with certain elements of their wedding, it's been nice to go back through my archives to see work i've done in the past that matches their criteria. it's a refreshing reminder of the progress i've made over the years in this art. whether it's a better understanding of light or post-processing or a desire to be more and more close to the people i photograph, the differences are both striking and subtle.
