a summer soiree

admin — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:08:20 +0000

Ann Stewart & Pearson welcomed guests who had traveled across the country to a family friend’s home to kickoff the weekend celebrations with a summer soiree. It was a perfect summer evening filled with the sounds of bluegrass and that sweet southern air. More images from the wedding celebration to come soon!

The latest issue of Southern Living Weddings hits news stands today and you can see Ann Stewart & Pearson’s lovely wedding fetured in it! There is a 2 page spread focusing on their wedding (p. 24-25) and additional images were used on page 7 along with two more full page photographs on pages 9 and 108. I will be sure to post some of my favorites from the day here soon but until then, go check out the magazine! And many, many thanks to Jamie Clayton for second shooting with me!

2011 has been an amazing year for me personally, professionally and photographically. I have been blessed to work with clients that have shown me nothing but kindness and gratitude while really I should be sending that their way for allowing me to document their lives. Not being one much for words, here is a little photographic rundown of the beautiful couples I had the chance to photograph this year. Thank you.

I’ve been so lucky to get to know the Doss family over the years and have loved seeing the kids grow up with each family photo session. The last four images crack me up– it was the end of the shoot and I just let the kids do whatever they wanted. You can definitely see their different personalities coming out.

I loved editing this session of Liza, Cutler and their pup Walter who is the friendliest dog in town. We hung around their home (I would hire Liza to decorate my home in a heart beat) and then they took me to a spot in Nashville where I had never been before (which is surprising as a born and raised Nashvillian). Can’t wait until their wedding next Spring… maybe Walter will make another appearance. You can view the entire shoot here.

Here are some shots from a race my husband ran in Brooklyn a few weeks ago (he’s the one jumping from the top of the rope wall). It was one of those adventure races with obstacles throughout and was definitely entertaining to watch. Maybe I’ll participate next time… all shot on the Leica M6 with Fuji Neopan 400.

Brandon modeled for the FIND workshop I attended in Seattle this summer. I was looking through some of my shots and loved this combination of the Rollei and Tri-X.

A few shots from a shoot I did earlier this summer out in Southampton at the newly revamped Capri Hotel. It’s pretty rainy in NYC today and I thought the colors could brighten up someone’s day. The Lovely Maggie Waltemath of Meyer Davis Studio was the mastermind behind this project. Maggie also has a blog where you can catch up on all things design here.

Thought this shoot would be a nice send off into the holiday weekend… Emily & John hung out with me in Dumbo a few weeks ago and we even ventured out onto the Brooklyn bridge despite the windy weather. These two were great to hang with and geek out on some photography stuff for a while (John has started shooting film too!).
