The last bits.

This babe made her own wedding gown and I’m still fawning over it.

Taj and Marc brought a second line to California to New Orleans, and it was everything.

Snagging the light while we can.

Always here for toast reactions. Always.

This week was an absolutely whirlwind on little sleep, food and time in the office. But it was rewarding, energizing and inspiring. In fact, it was everything I needed to end the season and I am so grateful to the eleven other photographers who came to @vineandflourish to hear us talk about our photography businesses.
Aside from the curriculum, I am eternally grateful to @thatchfloral and @benjaminholtrop who put together a styled shoot that blew any expectations we could have had out of the water. We let them have all the creative license and they really excelled. Benjamin’s mood board started with a detail image of the underside of a mushroom, with the joining of forest and sea. I hope you enjoy the images that will continue to be shown!

I meant to post this on Halloween but I was too busy watching Hocus Pocus. Loved the eeriness of this morning shoot before Qiao and Chris’ wedding.

It’s the evening before @carlybish and my workshop and after weeks of running around, adrenaline and constant to-do’s, I know it’s time to rest. Galleries will continue to get edited and emails caught up with but I’ve learned I have to take a moment and rest and sleep and breathe.
It’s also the eve of a lot of decisions to be made by the American people. Decisions to love all, seek peace and care for each other. I hope that tomorrow, in a moment that you can find rest and peace, that you’ll vote. That you’ll put yourself and the people you love first. Above all, that you will put people you don’t even know first, because they need it most of all...and to do so by marking your ballot.
This image was taken many years ago, but is still my favorite. It was taken during a moment of prayer. That peace can look like anything to anyone else. Meditation, a walk, time with your loved ones, reflection. I hope you find that tomorrow.
Now, for some rest.

Sam and Lil and a flight of stairs.
