Charlotte NC is always a beautiful location for a wedding. This wedding is near and dear to my heart. I have known Alex, the groom for almost 26 years. My husband has known him even longer, since high school. Alex met Sally a few years ago. I connected immediately with Sally when I met her. She is a Colorado girl like I am and she reminded me so much of my family and friends back there. Alex and Sally’s wedding was a huge celebration mixing Sally’s long time friends with Alex’s long time friends. Their family and friends traveled from all over the country to get here. Most of the guests grew up together. There was so much love and energy that day surrounding Alex and Sally. I love how they incorporated so much of their personalities into the decor of the wedding. Alex is a musician and owns his own business. Sally is a retired school teacher. They are both very creative and spiritual people. Their decor reflects every aspect of this. They rented a friends video/photography studio called Studio 1212. It was perfect for them! They have so many talented musician friends. Beth Brown who performs under the name of Ivy […]

My Father was my biggest fan. Two months ago today, July 13, 2013, he left my world for the next and I have been a little lost. This first 12 months following his death will be full of firsts, first time my children have their birthday without their grandfather, my husband and I had our 18th anniversary without my father just a few days after he passed back in July. It will be the first Holiday season without my father, then his birthday as well as mine without him physically here. I am at a workshop in Florida right now and every time I come back from a workshop, I see him the following day. I tell him about all the new things I learned, all the new people I met and the amazing community of photographers I feel privileged to know. He will not be there when I get back and I will not be able to share it with him. I have felt his presence all week though. He seems to be everywhere right now. I will be spreading some of his ashes here. He was in Florida as a young man in school before transferring to New […]
