Jodi and Johnny

Oh it was a bitter day in Chico for the wedding of Jodi and Johnny but we braved it all and in the end we came out without any frostbite! :) This was my last wedding for 2008 and I'm looking forward to the new wedding season which is getting near.
Jodi and Johnny, thanks for everything and especially for the jokes to keep me laughing and warm! Everyone was so fun to talk to and we had a blast. Thanks Amy for helping me out on this day!

Southern Weddings Magazine

I know, I know, I've been gone too long, but I really do have some dang-good excuses, and I'll post them soon,,,just as soon as I come up with them :)
In the meantime, I just wanted to express how happy I was today when my friends at the Ups store handed over my daily goods.
I received my copy of the premier issue of Southern Weddings Magazine and I pretty much stopped everything I was doing to ooh and ahh through all the beautiful images and articles! Lara Casey and crew know how to do it up right!
Congratulations to my friend Jose Villa for gracing the cover with the Tennessee wedding of Chelsea and Tec ~ one of my favorite weddings of his.
Also, a congrats to my friend Jeremy Harwell for his images of Katy and Seth's wedding also getting published. So much talent you guys!
Oh, how I wish I could shoot in the south, the light there seems to be just magical!

Bree and Ryan

Had a great time with you two and am looking forward to the big day! ,,,, and some warmer weather! :)
Thanks you two for braving the chill in the Montana air, it was a blast, pun intended :)

Mexico Workshop with Jose Villa

Can you say AMAZING???!!!

I've been waiting all year for Jose's Workshop  which was held at Hacienda El Carmen in Jalisco, Mexico.  I met some great people from all over and will forever keep their friendships close.  There is so much talent out there!  Jose was inspirational to say the least and so genuine :)  Cameron Ingalls and Karina Puenta also led us during the workshop and what incredible artists they are!  Joel Serrato, Gene Higa, Ann Hamilton were all there with us too, supporting, sharing and being so gracious with their time and I'm so glad we spent this week together, thanks for everything and all the great instruction and wisdom you have passed to us.   I have been reborn! And oohhhh, that mexican light!  It was so incredibly beautiful and I'll never forget it.
Special hollas to our modelos y modelas from Citro Modelos ~ Martin, Danny, Valeria and Miiriam and to Mar Romero who kept them looking hot! 

I'm so sad it's over but I know I'll see you all at WPPI and I can't wait  :)

Jacki and Colin

I had a great time with you two and I can't wait for your wedding! I just may have to bring my ladder though! ;)
I know I'm going to way overshoot with you two, but you just bring it out in me. Love ya' guys!

Jacki and Colin ~ Preview

Didn't think I'd be able to spend time with these two yesterday as it started out pretty rainy and mucky, but luckily by afternoon the temperatures warmed up and the rain stopped. It's gonna be an awesome time next year at their wedding, can't wait!
