We’re super excited Style Me Pretty loved Molly & Margo’s wedding! Kate Whelan Events created a masterpiece with this one and we were the lucky ladies who got to capture it. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

I picked up a Porter Magazine a bit ago and thought, “Hmphf. This is funny. I’ve never heard of this before. Looks like Net-A-Porter came up with, yet, another brilliant idea. In an age when periodicals are keeling over left and right, a beautiful magazine is born.

I’ve been oggling these ONA camera bags for a few years and now finally, we have them (happy dance!). They are beautiful and not just for a camera bag-these puppies look amazing next to any bag. Mine is the tote and…

When we get to photograph kids each year for the holidays, I’m always amazed at how much they’ve grown. These three didn’t look much different from last year but their personalities were so much more evolved and exciting.

I photograph Lindsay at every session. She gets to be my model so I can test the light before the clients arrive. Turns out, she’s my favorite person in the world (besides little Anna) to photograph. Look at her! I’m so lucky I can barely stand it!
