Kim and Duy

I'll be posting more from this couple later, but in the meantime enjoy a sampling of Kim and Duy's engagement session and marvel at the fact that they look this good despite the fact that it's 27 degrees outside! Big love guys!!!!

Footzyrolls!!!

Okay ladies, I'm about to give you the best idea ever for a wedding party favor! At most of the weddings I shoot, the entire bridal party (and a large number of the other female wedding guests) have usually removed their beautiful but oh-so-uncomfortable heels within the first thirty minutes of the reception. I've seen women don everything from flip flops to slippers but nothing as cute as Footzyrolls. They are an adorable pair of rolled-up ballet flats that will fit in your purse! They come in a variety of colors and even feature a waterproof and slip proof sole! Give your girls a pair in a neutral color and you've got a gift that will keep on giving long after your reception ends!

Kiss 2009 Goodbye...

Close your eyes and think of your first kiss. How your heart raced, yet time stood still. Five bucks says you can still tell me who gave you that kiss. What is it about a kiss? Science tells us that kissing can reduce tension, reassure us and create social bonds...but this can't be what has inspired artists and lovers for centuries. Science is certainly not what inspires me to document the act so thoroughly that my peers tease me. Kissing is the very first way that we belong to one another. It speaks of the trust we've earned and our willingness to be vulnerable. It will be a part of our relationship our whole lives through...when we comfort, celebrate, apologize. Without a single word it will convey the content of our heart. Even when our faces grow unfamiliar with age, our beloved's kiss is recognizable because it has been written on our soul.

And so, to close this year I present some of my favorite kisses of 2009. I hope the new year blesses you all with health, prosperity and of course...kisses!
