Dana and Keith : Engaged!

Blogging from New York! It was a gorgeous day here .... Tim and I woke up way too late and didn't get anything done but who cares! Tomorrow we're going to attempt to go out to the Statue of Liberty since Timmy's never been- hope the weather holds up. Looking like we're in store for some sleet- ... whatever that is. ;) Anyhow, it's nice to be out of Los Angeles for awhile - a change of scenery is always good. Over the Thanksgiving weekend I had the chance to head up to wine country and spend the afternoon with Dana and Keith. Dana is a friend of the lovely Kate from Kate and Jason and used to choreograph dances for my best friend Aubrey and I to perform for our parents to songs like "Straight Up" by Paula Abdul. When she contacted me about her September '09 wedding I was so super excited to be reconnected and couldn't wait to meet up! I took my mom along for the drive and she followed behind with Dana's mom as we shot all around her families property. Thanks so much for spending the afternoon with me and I'm super excited to be a part of your day next year!!!

Erin and Jake : Engaged!

Erin and I went to high school together- We were friends during my angst-y hate life, hate school, hate parents phase. Some of my most soul searching, defining moments happened with Erin around. I can't imagine I was much fun to be around- but then, we all go through that phase, no? During senior year I got heavily involved in a million things: jazz choir, theater, photography, community involvement, the wilderness club, I mean the list goes on and on. Anyway, as what happens with many friendships in high school, ours drifted apart as peacefully as a changing of the guard ceremony. I will always associate her with those moments in life where I made decisions about the kind of person I wanted to be. Through the glory that is facebook.com, I was so so pleased when I not only heard that Erin had made it through HER angst-y phase with flying colors but that she was engaged to a wonderful man, Jake!!! Immediately we started chatting about wedding plans and as it turns out, I will be shooting her and Jakes wedding in June! I can't wait to be a part of your day you guys, thanks for being so great!!!
