Welcome to the photo blog... *finallogowhite25.jpg
Here's where I chat about photography (SURPRISE)...  weddings (of course)... helpful ideas I hear about...  and cool things I find along the way. 

Things you can expect from me...
    Laughter (I write how I talk if you haven't noticed.. :)
    Advice (I don't claim to be an expert...but I do claim to hear expert ideas and share them)
    Stories (but only good ones)
    Contests (gotta keep you guessing somehow..)
    Cheers (meaning good wishes to good people I meet)
    ... and a little bit bit of babbling (but hopefully always ending with a big laugh)

While this blog may not be perfect in color, shape, or words . . . I promise, it'll all be written from the heart! More than anything else... I hope that you have fun, get inspired, enjoy reading and maybe even gain a little knowledge along the way (that I'm not promising though)...  

I'm so glad you've somehow navigated your way here.  Now... don't forget to bookmark it..  and come back and visit again!! 

Love,
A

Last Friday I did portraits for my best friends little boy Leo (1.5 years old) ... he is the sweetest little man you've ever seen.  We went to the Carousel by Chase Palm Park in Santa Barbara...  I just LOVED the way he knew exactly what to do... and there was no way to wipe the amazement and smile off his tiny little face!!

Every time I see Leo my heart is warmed and melts into a thousand pieces (how could it not with that smile and those dimples)...  even just this afternoon I got run around the pool and play with this angel.

To G & L... I feel so lucky to have you in my life and to see BOTH your smiles on a weekly basis...  

Love,
A

SO... one of the coolest and most exciting things I did in 2008 was this TV show...  it was the scariest and most exhilarating time

I was so incredibly honored and flattered to be a part of this new show airing on TNT this summer.  I was asked to be the featured wedding photographer on this amazing and uplifting wedding show.  In a time when reality TV seems to be taking a turn for unrealistic drama and negativity .. this show brings back heart and truly inspires love.

WEDDING DAY  on TNT

Every couple dreams of having the perfect wedding. For many, it's the most important and emotional day of their lives. But for some, insurmountable obstacles create barriers to making their dream day a reality. WEDDING DAY is here to prove that a girl doesn't have to be rich to have a wedding fit for a princess. In this uplifting series, deserving couples from all over the United States will get a helping hand to ensure the most important day of their lives is also the most magical. Each week, celebrity event planner and food expert Alan Dunn (For Better or Worse) and celebrity wedding planner Diann Valentine (author of Weddings Valentine Style) host as family, friends and community come together to create a dream wedding. Along the way, viewers will learn each couple's compelling story, from their first date to the big day.


The series airs on Tuesday June 16th at 8pm/7c on TNT and

MY EPISODE will be airing on Tuesday, July 14th same time and place.  If you can believe I may even be in front of the camera a bit (not just behind it) but I'm not promising ;)

Mark Your calendars ... and stay tuned (I'll be talking more about the show as the date gets closer...  it truly did inspire and change my life.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Love,
A
