Doing a little work to my office this week but I’ll respond to your messages once all this is cleaned up! 😬

Today we are celebrating my brother-in-law Adrian as he graduates from college. What challenges he has risen to these last few years! Moving away from Cuba to marry my sister…being apart from his family…learning everything in another language…adapting to American culture with its strange ideas like “free samples” and “supreme” burritos…understanding the difference between Thanksgiving and Christmas AND being the father to one of the cutest kids on the planet…
All of this and always with a huge and easy smile on his face (even if he worries it’s too big). Congratulations Adrian! We are so grateful to have you as part of our family!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Sunday’s wedding was an especially joyous day. I was so inspired by these two; their humor, their style, their clear-eyed approach to marriage and their combined friends and family who so generously offered their love and support. What a great day to be a part of—thank you!! Thanks, also, to the team at @hansfahden who worked together so positively to adapt to Mother Nature’s unpredictable rains! You all did such an amazing job and the day came together beautifully!

Grateful I got to spend Saturday evening with a group of amazing people supporting @thevfoundation . One of my favorite moments was the pre-service huddle led by guest chefs @ayeshacurry and @ChefMichaelMina of @internationalsmoke.
Yes, it was awesome. And then I went home to my regular life and ate leftover Chinese food. ;)

Happy Easter!
Hope your day is filled with little miracles and that you’re lucky enough to notice a few of them. ✨

I’m not going to lie—this has been a really rough few days with both our boys getting their wisdom teeth out. We’re all tired. And then Rob creates this moment of beauty and it all comes into perspective.
Work it out. Laugh when you can. ❤️❤️❤️

I really don’t need roses or diamonds but I love that my husband plants sweet peas every year. ❤️❤️❤️

I met Jen a few years ago over coffee to talk about photographing her wedding. We had an easy connection and I instantly liked her and her fiancé. Then, life happened and their plans changed. I was heartbroken for them—I can’t imagine how they felt. But out of that time we promised when Jen was ready we would do a portrait session together.
So last night we finally met again--both looking a little bit older and wiser but with that same easy connection as years before. We climbed up to one of my favorite spots…caught up while we waited for the light to change. We laughed together that this was one of her last orders of business from her “old life”. Yes, it’s probably strange to do a portrait session with the person who was supposed to photograph your once-upon-a-time wedding...but the flip side is that because of that I understood about both her tremendous strength and vulnerability. And I wanted to make sure she could see it too.
Help each other: It’s ok that life doesn’t always follow a predictable path. ❤️❤️❤️

On Alyssa and Logan’s wedding day it rained—and they were so excited. There we were, out in the vineyards getting wetter by the second. The more it rained the happier they were. “WE GOT OUR RAIN!” they cheered to the sky.

As I sit editing their pictures this week, I keep going back to that moment. My wish for these two is that they always hold on to that little bit of magic. Because that feeling, whatever it is, will get them through anything that comes their way.
Thanks for sharing it with me. ❤️ Link to full post in bio.
Many thanks as well to the incredible team of vendors who made this wedding so memorable (and fun): @weddingsbydarlene @hansfahden @santarosapowderroom Flaxx-Floral Design Studio, @djmichaelsmusic @bellabakery_calistoga @beauwinetours

Tomorrow is my first wedding of the year. I try not to watch the weather but it seems inevitable there will be a lot of rain. And yes, I worry.
But mostly I get frustrated over this collective expectation that wedding photography needs to look a certain way: sunny skies, flawless hair, sculpted arms, general perfection and bliss. It frustrates me as an artist but even more as a wife and mother. Because life is not like that. Marriage is not like that. And the truth is so much more interesting if you’re willing to see it.
The most beautiful and memorable parts of life and marriage are always a little chaotic and messy. But always worth it.
In this spirit, tomorrow, we will be stomping through puddles... on a mission to create our own version of what love looks like and what is beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️

Something about February makes me grateful for just a little bit of light through a window.
