Gorgeous Gowns

I sort of fell in love with these dresses, and thought how perfect would they be as bridesmaid dresses? Since most bridesmaids purchase their own bridesmaids dress, why not pick something that is truly remarkable, and that can be worn again to various events, or even shortened into a more cocktail friendly frock. At any rate, these are gowns I'm drooling over at the moment, so don't be surprised if you see them again in an inspiration board, because I'm kinda smitten!

Happy New Year!

Thank you so much for a wonderful 2010, here's to a fabulous 2011!

How to Wear : Lace

Haute Boudoir : Marsha, Marsha

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha, what can I say? She's sweet, itsy bitsy, adorable and a downright doll to photograph. She confided that she rarely liked herself in photos, and that she wasn't sure if she could vamp it up in front of the camera without breaking into the giggles. Well, we did a lot of giggling, but man alive, Marsha lights up in front of the lens, and I'm sure her boyfriend was very pleasantly surprised when he opened the gift of his gorgeous girl in print!

How to Wear : Ambiguous Holiday Parties

We've all been there. You get an invitation to a Holiday Party and no real idea about the dress code. Relax, here are a few fool proof looks that can go from casual to glam with two strokes of red lipstick!

No matter what the dress code, you'll be perfectly dressed in these dashing ensembles.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
I'll be back to blogging in a few days, but for now, I plan on spending quality time with friends, family, and of course, kittens.

Jubilee Portraits : Those Crazy Twins

I don't know if my two year old nephews, Ethan & Brandon, would recognize me WITHOUT a camera, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that they are so stinkin cute, I just can't help myself! Here is one of my favorite 2010 Christmas photos of them, being their normal, ridiculously cute selves!

Jubilee Weddings : Amy & Eric

Amy has been one of my oldest and dearest friends, so it was an honor to photograph her laid back Autumn wedding. I wish both Amy & Eric all the happiness, of of course, lil' Baby G who we will meet soon enough!
