Saturday I had the privilege of shooting Chrissi and Sheldon’s wedding. They are such a great couple; I enjoyed spending the day with them and their friends and family. As you’ll see from the photos, they love each other and love to have fun! To see more, here’s their slideshow.
I read a ton, but occasionally a book really stands out. This time it's Saddam’s Secrets by former Iraqi General Georges Sada. It's the other side of the story told from someone on the inside with the same perspective we have. General Sada was “retired” 20 years ago, however, that didn’t keep Saddam from reactivating him when he needed someone to tell him the truth. One of those times was for the invasion of

Mari and Dave designed a wedding day that was uniquely them, and it was so much fun! A Lord of the Rings theme and a Krispy Kreme “cake” made the day especially memorable. Here are a few pictures and if you want to see more, here’s their slideshow set to Come What May, the song of their first dance.
I spent all weekend at the first annual Cancer and Nutrition Symposium sponsored by the Cancer Project. The power of whole plant foods to prevent disease is really amazing!

Riley is 6 months old now and looks like such a big girl for her 3rd photo shoot. Earlier on the beach the sand was very tempting so the boardwalk proved to be a less distracting prop. How cute is she?
What fun memories! For the 5th summer in a row, the Attaways and the Graves (and the Hires) have taken a family picture at the beach. It's officially one of our many yearly traditions!

It's impossible to hide what we're doing, but it's worth it! And, our shoot always inspires others to go grab their cameras and have their own impromptu beach shoot.
