Rare Wedding Showcase

Hooray - I’ve been featured in the new 2009 Rare Wedding Guide! I’m so excited that momentum is picking up for the wedding side of my business and am thrilled about the new couples that I will get to meet as a result!

Narissa was truly striking in her backless dress as she ascended the long staircase with her father.  I remember tearing up a little bit (yes, I still cry at weddings!) at the beginning, but I somehow managed to keep it together.

Beautiful details, plus a super sweet bride, made for a happy photographer! :)

Also, I’ll be doing my first ever bridal show - watch out world! - on November 15th. If you are a newly engaged couple, or know some folks getting married, please send them my way!

XOXO.

Austin Restaurant Week: Do Not Read While Hungry!

Austin Restaurant Week 2009 has come and gone! I was lucky enough to shoot the flagship website & promotional images, and am stoked to share them with you here. It’s a smattering of images from Jeffrey’s, Paggi House & Imperia. Yummy McYummers!

(technically this qualifies under my new commercial & food business Eye Candy!)

Wedding Photography For the Alternabride

That’s my new motto! Whatdyathink?

New images for my homepage slideshow too! :)

Brian Finke: "Most Muscular" Series (2003-2005)

Brian Finke has created some of the most brilliant photography series that I’ve ever seen. And on top of that, he’s just a really nice guy that took the time recently to discuss his commercial photography experiences with me. There’s even MORE awesomeness to check out on his website!

Creative Artist Series for Rare Magazine

You can read the whole article on 16 of Austin’s most creative artists here, but here’s a preview of the eye candy portraits I shot!

Shroomin' with The Boxing Lesson

The Greene Fam!

I feel in love with Sophie pretty much instantly. Her demure smile is heart-wrenchingly endearing. I can’t wait to meet the newest member of the Greene family in only a matter of months! :)

To say that my dad is a “jack of all trades” would be an under-statement. Just to name a FEW of his regular activities, he’s an auctioneer, blacksmith, travelling medicine man, landscape designer, bonsai/kettle cooking/japanese garden building/wildflower hiking instructor at the John Campbell Folk School, among other things…. So when he began his new venture “The Anvil Shoot”, I was hardly surprised. He “shoots the anvil” at conferences and special occasions all over the U.S., including the one I documented below at my cousin’s wedding! So if you never get the chance to enjoy it in person, you can at least witness it vicariously through me! :)

First up, levelling the ground and laying the anvil at an angle against the spin of the hemisphere…

Then assuring a good seal with caulk!

And make sure you add plenty of gun powder!

And lay the second anvil right side up on top of the first anvil!

Lighting the fuse with his cigar…

And KER-POW!!!

The landing…

This 3 day event took place at the Belmont and was broadcast *LIVE* via Polycom’s HD video conferencing technology to 9 different cities! The gallery is up and full of musical eye-candy! Skyrocket, Blind Date & more!
