Catching up with summer...

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!

The Manzardos

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’?

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!
