… everyone is in a fussy mood. Including our cat Stella who has refused to leave the comfort of this cold porcelain sink all day.

Spent the evening at Jen Leshnick’s  discussing work flow, lightroom, babies, marriage, and general topics that we rarely get to talk about anymore. Came home to a boyfriend who misses spending time with me because I am so damn busy lately…. sigh. I feel kind of like Stella did in these pics-  Maybe some OREO’s and some quality time in front of the fan will help?

Just got this email from my lovely October bride Sarah. Thought I’d share this very cute Save the Date she did all by herself. I think she took a trip to Paper Source, bought some stamps, and made a very cute, very custom Save the Date! Cute what she did with the photobooth images I took of them, yeah?

I’ve been busy. Busy busy busy! One last image of Jason and Kate to get us through the weekend, let us all try to stay cool…. XoXo

I’ve known Kate since I was a little baby- I grew up in the house next to her and spent many an afternoon following her around! She is the big sister of my best friend in the whole world- Aubrey. She used to choreograph dances for us to perform, paint our faces, and dress us up in ridiculous outfits with her friends. I distinctly remember watching MTV in their living room, Kate in her bike shorts, Aubrey and I with our hair in pigtails. When she got engaged I immediately offered my photography services and then a month later found out her wedding date is the same as my cousins. I was totally bummed out (excited for my cousin) but bummed out nonetheless. So at LEAST I could shoot their engagement portraits, right?

So on Saturday the four of us drove to Santa Cruz and had an amazing day of sun and shooting. They were perfect subjects, up for anything! While the bay area is where I grew up I haven’t done too many location shoots there so when I found out they were thinking Santa Cruz I immediately emailed Rebecca Meredith at Becca Studios for some location tips! Thanks so much Rebecca for all your help and guidance!!!

Congratulations you two!!! I know you’ll have a beautiful wedding and a beautiful life together! Thank you so much for letting me share a little bit of it. XoXo

P.S Thanks Aubs (and Buzz)
