Rosalind and Ari, oh my gosh. I don’t even think I have words to describe how awesome they are. Once glimpse at this couple and you knew just how much love there was. The wedding was at beautiful Locust Grove here in Louisville, and Rosalind spent so much time and energy in all the details that made the day so special. One of my favorite weddings yet!

*picture heavy because of all the awesomeness that is Rosalind and Ari*

I won’t lie, I’ve been waiting to shoot Rosalind and Ari’s wedding since the minute we met.  Here are just a few images to tide everyone over (it was so hard to just pick 3!)

You know how some pregnant women just look gorgeous and like the vision of picture-perfect baby belly?! Yeah, that’s Robin. It’s like she was made to have gorgeous maternity shots taken! She and I have known each other for 6 or 7 years and a couple years ago she moved with her husband to North Carolina, she knew she was going to be back here for a friends wedding and called to book a session!

Shooting Robin and Anthony was cake, they’re both easy going and, hello! super photogenic, not to mention hilarious be sure to check out the so funny ‘Baby Maker’ shirt!

Amy+Zach are getting married next summer and as a (wonderful) surprise, Amy’s (wonderful) sister-in-law gifted them with a portrait sess;ion as an engagement present. How sweet is that?

Amy showed up in an adorable and bright dress, and she and Zach were game for anything!

I’m not sure if it’s the economy or if people are just really understanding and appreciating the joy they can get by creating something by themselves, as well as enjoying supporting small business where items are individually handmade.

In my personal life as well as business I try to support handmade and local items as best I can. I’d like to start featuring some of the great ideas that I see out there on the world wide interwebz.

First up:
Buying Handmade: Handmade Bridesmaid By Maizie Designs.

Here is a post I did a few months back about my first experience with Maizie Designs, I was hooked!

Rebecca of Maizie Designs has a wonderful eye for jewelry, and I find myself ordering from her null constantly. She’s just recently started working heavily with brides and bridesmaids doing custom orders.

Mrs. W is one awesome chic. She’s a Derby City Rollergirl, supa-geek, and friendly as can be.

I can’t really say anything else about how awesome she is, just take a look for yourself!

Day 3 of the Photographer Smackdown with my girl Lana. Her pick for today was “This is What Life Looks Like”

She and I went two totally different ways with this one, which I think totally makes these types of things so much fun.

This image shows one of the top comforting bible verses. A friend sent it to me a few weeks ago and wow did it jump out. I’ve gotten it written down and a copy in my wallet, a copy on my nightstand and the email starred. This is encouragement, this is comfort, This is life.

My pick for today’s theme is “In The Thick Of It”

The theme for todays photo is ‘Round The House, picked by yours truly.

Here’s my entry.

Be sure to head over to Lana’s to check out her entry and see the theme for tomorrow!

Photographer Throwdown

June 29, 2009

My pal Lana, a fellow photographer, (check her out over at Cease Fire Studios ) contacted me last week about doing a daily photography challenge.

Basically we take turns coming up with a theme, then we each take a photo that represents our spin or interpretation of the theme.

I like this idea because as someone who photographs people primarily, sometimes I loose touch with photographing inanimate objects.

The challenge starts today, Monday, and will go through the end of the week. Be sure to stop by mine and Lana’s blogs and let us know who you think captured it best!

Oh yeah, bring it Lana, bring it!!!

Monday: Color My World!
