.facebook

I swear if one more of my friends tells me to join. I got sick of hearing how great it is, now I’ll have to see for myself. Alright I want lots of friend requests. I’m not kidding click here for my profile page!

And You know the rules no posts without a photo. These are Catherine’s barbie’s from when she was a kid. (I swear they’re not mine) G is obsessed with them right now. Cath likes them because they are not as slutty as the new barbie’s.  I don’t see a difference, she says its something in the eyes.

Another close friend of ours had a baby a few weeks ago. This morning she stopped by the house so we could meet him.
Gretchen immediately fell in love, she told me he was super cute.
I’m never going to be able to handle the teenage years!


Here is baby Forest, great name right?

engagement photo – sign in book

I have been making sign in books for quite some time now.
I never stop searching for a better way of doing it. I finally found it.
This company prints them on very thin paper, just like a book you would get at a book store.
The selling point for me was the cover. They allow you to design custom covers instead of just a color I can wrap it in photos.
Its hard to explain the quality in words so I took some photos but if your interested in something like this you have to come over to the office and check it out.
Very, very cool.

.music

I cant get through a day without listening to music. It completely controls my mood and inspires me when I’m working. In the past few weeks I have received a few e-mails, some from people I know and some from people I’ve never met. They were all the same question. “What music is that on your website?” So here are the top three albums that I have been listening to. Not all of them are on my site.

Number one (and I CANNOT believe that he is not WAY more famous) is Ray La Montagne.  His music is so special and has an ethereal sound all of its own. His sound is ghostly lyrics.

Number two is Damian Rice.  This album is probably not wedding or relationship fitting, unless your breaking up!  And if that’s the case your definitely  looking at the wrong  site : ) But still, he has a great sound. When you here 9 crimes you’ll know what I’m talking about!

number 3 is Catherine’s absolute favorite Ben Taylor.  Apparently Catherine would leave me for him.  That’s nice!   But anyway, Wicked Way is the first song on my website. For those of you who don’t know, he’s the son of James Taylor and Carlie Simon.

Now, since I don’t want to post without a photo, here is a photo of the scene when I got home from work yesterday. Catherine and Gretchen made me cupcakes.

.taylor gracie

It was truly a pleasure to take these photos today.  Catherine and Jill have been close friends for like six years and have shared and experienced so much together.  But nothing is more special  than two friends being pregnant and having babies at the same time.  Cath and I know that Jill is going to be the most amazing mommy and Brian, a phenomenal dad.  Taylor is precious and we wish their family love and happiness forever.  Enjoy every minute guys!!

The belly beautiful

One of Cath’s best friends, has a friend who is an editor at FitPregnancy.  An email was sent out  asking for shots of pregnant bellies of all shapes and sizes! And that email luckily came to us.  Of course I had like hundreds. So we submitted one and it got printed in the February/March issue. Way in the back, last page, dead center. I managed to get little G in the photo as well.

And here is the shot.

house of cards

Since the beginning of my photographic career, I have been searching for unique business cards. I can’t stand poorly designed logos and business stationary. I am so lucky to have found what, I think, is the coolest business cards around.  Letterpress.  For those of you not familiar with letterpress stationary, it is a very heavy paper stock with the printing debossed into the paper, then inked. I found a company that has done many cards for photographers. Studio Z in California. Zida was an absolute pleasure to do business with and really helped with the final layout and design of the card. For all of you that really want a rare style invitation, I strongly recommend something letterpress. Seriously, you will never see anything like it. Don’t believe me stop by and pick up one of my new cards!!

When it came to photographing it, I certainly could not just take a simple picture!  I had to do something out of the ordinary. The fact that the cards are so thick made them perfect materials to build a house of cards!

After we were done, it was more fun to take it down! : )
