Is a WINNER! Ok, maybe second place, but still SECOND place! I am humbled, proud and excited because I feel so loved. Thank you, thank you to all of you who took two minutes (or ten minutes b/c it was kind of complicated!) to vote for me. I have loved reading each and every one of your comments and I promise to hold them close and save them for a rainy day.
WHOO HOO - I'm doing my second place winner dance right now...

I'm not someone who wins things. For real. I spent most of my childhood licking stamps and submitting myself to random competitions. The only thing I ever won was a year supply of Herbal Essence hair products. Sounds cool, you may say? Well, yeah, until you realize it makes your hair greasier than Pauly D's pillow. Anyway, I stray from my point. I had a nice surprise in my inbox after lunch today saying that my photos had been chosen in the 48-hour raw photo contest by Totally Rad Actions! They are releasing their brand spankin' new presets for Lightroom tomorrow and were looking for raw photos to show off their new magic. Out of 135 people who submitted, three of my favorite images were chosen! Check out the images below (with a few of my favorite presets in action) and check out the new actions here.
Seriously, I'm pumped!!

On to weddings, my favorite topic!!! I have had so much fun with my couples this year, I seriously couldn't ask for more amazing brides. I feel like they are partnerships - I am able to share as much knowledge with them as I have about weddings and they trust me enough to do crazy things like laying in fields or lay on an anonymous person's boat... I promise, I have more stories than you want to hear.
There were so many pictures to choose from, I have barely scratched the surface. Here are some of my favorites - some new, some you may have seen before. Enjoy!
Makes me smile :)

Oh, 2009, how I will miss thee. You were so good to me and I am forever grateful. I grew at a super fast pace and although sometimes it was painful, I am thankful of every step I was able to take. I have grown so much in the last year - as me, as a wife and as an artist. So, I have decided to get all nostalgic on you and look back on some of my favorite moments of 2009. I wanted to start off with some of my favorite portraits. Some you may have seen, some of them are new!
Here is the gorgeous Ashlie. I keep hoping more brides will want to lay in wild flowers after seeing this image... :)
I loved taking pictures of Daniell and Kaily - they are just so vibrant and full of life.
This picture just makes me stop every time...so precious! I snapped this while Elizabeth was under the tree looking for the best grapefruit.
This is Elizabeth too and it makes me want to throw my cares to the wind and be a kid again. No kidding. Anyone want to join me?
Just makes me laugh every time. Can you tell laughter is my favorite emotion to convey in an image? I love to either make the viewer laugh or have the subjects laughing. I feel that joy is the greatest gift to being human and I love to capture that.
Little Wyatt...
This one is a new one. I helped my sister-in-law Maggie take some product shots for her new etsy store. She makes THE most amazing and comfy cowls. Check out her store here. What could have been a boring shot, just came to life. With the golden light and Maggie's red hair, I just loved the way this one came out.
This is my newly engaged sister Erica and her fiance Evan. I took this in Africa while we were all on vacation. I love the way it captures them being so relaxed and just being themselves.
These are also new. My sister Cindy was home on vacation and she asked me to take a new headshot. We wanted it to be different and fresh, yet still professional enough for the serious work that she does. These two won't make the corporate cut, but I still love them.
