amen.

Just a friendly reminder: Be Awesome!

"We are artists and we can do whatever the hell we want. I know that seems pretty obvious, but I think we all (myself included) get stuck in a box of things we see others doing or we limit ourselves to creating only what we think will be popular. How about this: let’s be artists and do what inspires us. Let’s create. Let’s slap normal in the face. Let’s shake things up, step out of the box, and make people remember what it’s like to be weird. Let’s want to be awesome, and LET’S FREAKING DO IT."

This is just a blip of my most popular blog post that that holds some of the most important things I have to say. The Photographer's Manifesto. Read it here: BenSasso.com/blog/photographers-manifesto/

Ben Sasso is one of my favorite photographers because of his editing - minimalism, contrast & warmth. His photos pop. They come alive.... and this before/after blog post showing images before editing is fascinating. I took one of his seminars last year and it changed how I edit waaay for the better. Take a look if photography is your thing!

Recent favorites broken down as examples of how I do what I do, and two HUGE announcements. Heck yep!

Editing this session makes me want to grab my hot chocolate and snuggle with my hubs by the fire... other than some very minor tweaking, this shot is straight out of camera. My dream light.

This beautiful girl, her furry vest, chambray shirt, riding pants & boots... I wanted to eat her with a spoon. She's adorable and so is her beautiful family. Finishing up this session today and so thankful for being able to capture timeless images for people to cherish forever.

I am designing an album for one of my 2012 couples & am culling through their favorites for their album... they chose these two from the reception at the Duke Mansion and I totally forgot about how awesome their introduction & first dance was! They were such a sweet, fun couple!

Their pure joy, chemistry and beautiful souls had me in tears throughout the day... I laughed & cried while editing their photos... that's saying a lot. After culling through & editing hundreds of thousands of wedding photos in my career (no exaggeration)... these two totally got me. Their beautiful story is what love is all about. Waverly & Daniel... I am so glad I was privileged enough to be your photographer. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
