Recherché Photography: A Pink Tu-Tu!

About 5 years ago I received a call from a very sweet lady who requested my services for her friend's wedding. I was already booked with a wedding out of state the night before and a wedding in state the morning of, so I regretfully declined feeling that I had already quite overbooked the weekend. But she called back. And she called back. And she called back. And finally I gave in. I photographed the wedding of Kimberly and Noah Waldera in August of 2002 with no assistant and having already shot 2 other weddings within 24 hours. But I was on a photo high! The wedding was so lovely and Kimberly has become one of my favorite people and biggest fans. She has practically insisted that every one of her friends (and acquaintances) hire me ever since.

As I was discovering for the first time how madly in love I am with sun glare, I had a very helpful gentleman tap me on the shoulder to inform me that I was shooting into the sun which was a mistake and I exclaimed, "I know!!! It's amazing!!" and forced him to look through the view finder. I'm not sure he was as optimistic about the effect as I was, but I always smile when I look at this shot of Kimberly.

I've had the privilege to photograph their baby Peyton since she was very newly born and I wanted to share a few of my favorites from over the last couple years:
