Catching up with summer...
Aug/31/09 01:13 PM Filed under: My Life
As summer slips away I
am trying to catch up with it. Even though it is
still about 5 million degrees here I can’t help but
notice today is the last day of August and before I
know it the fall will be here. I have been trying to
get those projects done, enjoy the long days, and
gear up for the fall. In the meantime I have
neglected my blog, so now I am getting up with that
too....
Last night my friend Aria invited us to join them for a summer’s feast. The day before they had caught Florida lobster (yummmm!) and Aria (who is an amazing cook) is auditioning for a cooking show and needed to be filmed cooking them. Not only was the food AMAZING but we had a great company and really enjoyed watching Aria at her best. She definitely would be great on TV, so watch for her, hopefully she will be sharing her talents with everyone soon!

While the Manzardo’s
were vacationing in the Florida Keys at
the Moorings, I drove down to take a few
family portraits as well as portraits of one of
their sons, Andrew. Andrew is a talented
guitarist, singer and songwriter. At the age of
17, he has already recorded 6 songs that he wrote!
Impressive right? They will be launching his
myspace page soon so keep and eye out to download
his music (you will find it under Andrew
Manzardo). I’ll be sure to blog when it comes out
as well!
Here is Andrew and August, can we say ‘brotherly love’?

Jen and Mike Featured on Style Me Pretty!
I have always been such
a HUGE fan of Style Me Pretty, it is a must on every bride’s
list of blogs to get your daily dose of wedding
inspiration! Abby of Style Me Pretty was kind
enough to feature Jen and Mike as Jen did an
AMAZING job with each detail of her wedding. You
definitely should check it out! Thanks Style Me
Pretty!!

The Forzani's...
One of my brides and
good friend Ashlee (who is getting married in
September) gave her sister and maid of honor, Jennie
a portrait session with me for all of her hard
wedding work. So sweet! Jennie and her husband Peter
have two adorable children. We shot at their home in
Nevada while I was there and had a great time
exploring their fields. I can’t wait to see these two
rugrats all dressed up at the wedding!!












Jen and Mike, Married!

I can’t even begin to
express what a joy it was to photograph the wedding
of Jen and Mike. I was not only thrilled when Jen
asked me to shoot their wedding, but it is always so
wonderful to get back to Nevada. I have known Jen
since middle school and she has always been fun, full
of energy and has the most amazing style. Mike, who I
got to know leading up to the wedding, is the perfect
compliment to her, easygoing and sweet. Together they
had a gorgeous backyard wedding at their home in
Gardnerville, Nevada. The weather was perfect and
Jen’s sense of style did not disappoint. Before the
wedding Jen and Mike met in the field near their
house to see each other for the first time (always a
great moment!), then we loaded the bridal party up
and headed to several locations in the valley for
portraits (thanks to Bentley for allowing us to use
their wheat field!). Not only was the bridal party
fun and easygoing, but great looking! It was a fast
paced and fun day... Congrats Jen and Mike, I can’t
wait to see what great things come to you both!
