jamie + nathan // still

Jamie and Nathan tied the lovely little knot two years ago. These two are some of my closest friends, the kind that you know are forever ever long friends. I can't even begin to describe how amazing they are because we'd never get to the images. For the shoot we went out to an incredible location, enjoyed each other's company and had some fun before the sun went down. Enjoy the view from the outside in.

nicole + zach // wed

Last month I shot the long awaited wedding for these two OC-Denver transplants. When I first met with them I knew their wedding was going to be quite an event. Nicole and Zach's wedding met and far exceeded my expectations, not only was the design gorgeous but everyone had such a great time (partially thanks to such an amazing DJ), I'd almost classify it more as a party than a wedding reception. Needless to say these two were great...cheers to the newlywed Lowerys!













Loved this! During the dancing portion of the reception they had old John Wayne movies playing on a projected screen...so awesome.

aiden + bella + liam // introducing

Triplets. Two handsome little guys and one precious little girl. I must say photographing babies, let alone three babies, is quite a challenge haha. Each obviously has a mind of their own and there's no directing babies like I can with a couple. However, the unexpected and unplanned is usually what makes a shoot so great, and so it was with these three. Nick and Ginny definitely were surprised when they found out they were having three babies, not just one. They have their hands full...more than full, but they couldn't be happier to be outnumbered by their little ones :)

lauren + brian // wed

I'm happy to let you share in a small inkling of the goodness that Lauren and Brian's wedding was. The dearest of friends, incredible location, lots of fun...this wedding couldn't have been any better.

Lauren and Brian decided to have a 'first look' so that we could take all of their pictures before the ceremony and have plenty of time to do so. For this reason we were able to really soak up the coolness that downtown Tacoma, WA had to offer. The blue mustang was what Lauren used to drive in high school...Brian and her dad fixed it up just in time for the wedding. We made good use of it I'd say. Congrats to the newlywed Lauren and Brian Jack!

















They were married in the church above their old high school where they met (yes high school sweethearts, it doesn't get any better than these two). The photos below were taken in their old science class room, some things never change...

heidi merrick // SS 2010: in studio

Here are a few quick shots we grabbed around Heidi's studio after the main shoot posted below. Heidi's clothes give off that effortlessly chic vibe...I'm pretty sure if I lived in her collection people would think I'm 100xs cooler than I actually am.

I received the opportunity to do a shoot with the darling Heidi Merrick, a clothing designer based in LA. I've followed her designs for a while and was so excited to have the chance to shoot her line. We shot her entire spring/summer collection in a half day...it was a feat but we made it happen it and had a great time. Check out more of her designs here.

Here are a few images from spring/summer...more fun stuff coming later this week from the shoot.
