Ok, really trying to do some catching up here! I’ve been so excited about this wedding and couldn’t wait to post it! This post is too big for just one entry, so first I’ll start with a couple detail shots, some getting ready and a bunch of portraits. Lindsey and Mark were married last month...
WOW!!!!
The wedding that I did in September (the one I called you about)…they saw each other before the wedding too and that is when I shot the bridal party. Anyway…the photograph near the end where they are standing in front of the large painting…it looks like they are in the painting! Looks amazing! As usual, you are brilliant and these photographs are beautiful!!
She choose to shoot it all in one week! So here’s a sneak peek of all 3! (I’ll try to get some full posts up soon!)

Hi Dawn, I’ve been reading your blog since before Eve was born and say NO! Don’t dump the blog! Sorry if I haven’t commented much (or ever… I can’t remember specifically if I have before). I love your style. With your logo on the images it looks like a magazine cover – so awesome! As for Facebook vs. Blogs, I vote Blogs for displaying photography. I think it is a better format for it. If it seems there is more action on Facebook, maybe it’s because that’s where you are devoting your energies (you did say it’s easier to post there!) I think that you could do “sneak peaks” on Facebook by posting one image from a session and say “To see more, visit my blog” with a link. Personally, if I visit someone’s website and they don’t have a blog, I am truly disappointed in their efforts of being a succesful photographer. You NEED a blog to show off your most recent work, and to prove how often you do what types of sessions. With a website, you know, I have no idea how many weddings So-and-so does a year, but if they’ve got a blog, then I can see if they’ve got a new one posted every week or only once a quarter. I think that is important for your clients to see. The frequency & consistency of your work, while still providing variety & personalization of their session. DO NOT DUMP THE BLOG!!!
Jessica, thank you for the thoughtful response. I do spend alot more time on facebook now, but i couldn’t help myself, the moment I stared using it, i saw a huge response that I didn’t expect and felt the need to keep it going. As a result, I continued spending more time there, and less here. I thought about doing the sneak peek thing there, and blog here, but clients with facebook want to tag their photos so i feel the need to post them all on facebook too. I agree it’s good to have a blog to show recent work, but instead of posting my weddings every week like I should, I go weeks without posting and then catch up with a bunch of posts all in one sitting….. not the best way to do it! I admit, I’ve been blogging for so long now, it’s hard to imagine not doing it, even if I’m having a hard time keeping up with it! 
I’m dying to see more of the bridals!!
A few weeks back I did a family shoot for the Cunningham’s. I’ve shot these girls many times before but this was the first time I met Claire, their newest addition! I can’t post any of the full family shots just yet, but look for them later on the NEW website once it’s finished!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don’t dump the blog………..it’s exciting checking it frequently and really exciting when there is something new!!!!
Nooooo!!! Don’t stop the blog! I love love love it when you post your amazing pics. I have been stalking you for a while now and check this page all the time to see if you have posted anything new. I always get inspired from your eye! 
Well i’m sure it’s quite boooooring if you check alot only to find nothing new for months at a time….. I will try to keep up with it better! But really, the blog is always last priority on my list of things to do!
i check ur blog at least once a week and i love when you have new posts, however if it’s the same pics on facebook i can just follow you there!!
Please don’t dump the blog!!!! I know you are too busy to keep up with it but I have to admit, I check it faithfully EVERY day.
Yep. It’s huge. (5 websites in one, with room to grow!) And it’s being designed and built from scratch by yours truly! it will be everything i’ve ever wanted in a website….. i have no idea when it will be finished, but i’m hoping it won’t be long! I actually wanted it finished a month...

I’ve been revamping my album lineup for quite some time now. The new albums and price list will be available soon! For now, here’s a little peek from a recent sample that arrived. Love it in pink leather! I took these in a rush under heavy tungsten lighting so excuse the bad color!
