Workshop announcement!

Guess what?? I'm doing another workshop this year! I was only planning on doing one a year (and in the future I probably will) but I've gotten so many write-ins after my last/first workshop from people asking for more that I've decided to oblige. :)

More details under the "workshops" section above. Sign-ups will be open on Monday, the 13th, at noon EST.

I'm SO excited about it! (the last one was so great!!)

Tuscan Wedding

I was so happy to be able to work on Lindsay and Ryan's wedding and now I'm so happy to be able to share it with you! I love the way it came out. Thank you Jose for the beautiful imagery, and thank you Lindsay and Ryan for having a stunning wedding and letting me be a part of it!

You can see a lot more images in my portfolio gallery, on Once Wed online here and here (and their engagement session here), and in the magazine.
