Gingerbread Party | How the Gingerbread Holga Came to Life

By now you have seen the magic of the GTLR Holga, and I am sure you have been dying to see how it all happened.

Here are the behind the scenes photos, where you will get the inside scoop on how these amazing gingerbread creations came to life.

Or... maybe these are just photos of us all goofing off.

You be the judge.

Yep, that puppy was to SCALE!

His lovely wife Ali cheers him on as he begins construction.

Here we have the many pieces that go into making a (to scale) gingerbread twin lens Holga.

Ahh the squeezing of the icing, seems that Andrew finds this very thrilling!

Haiti Benifit - A Photography Show in California

I feel so honored to announce that photographs from my trip to Haiti will be featured at the Peter Fetterman Gallery in Santa Monica for a one night show on December 1st. The show is a benefit to raise awareness and money that will help to send children to school in Jacmel!

Operation USA has been working tirelessly to help the children and families that were victims of the massive earthquake in Haiti earlier this year.

New Orleans | Pictage Partner Conference 2010

It's that time of year again. When photographers from all over the country, Canada and even across "the pond" converge in New Orleans for Pictage's annual Partner Conference! Where Y'at!?

Every year anywhere from 300-500 photographers gather in the Crescent City to learn, share, explore and teach one another. I am thrilled that this year I will actually have a more active roll at Partner Con, as we photogs like to call it.

Holga Series {Kathleen and Michael}

(To view this image larger click on the photo)

I love when I get the chance to actually GO to a wedding as a guest. Especially when it's the wedding of my best friend, the gal I have known since I was 12, the one who has seen me at my most awkward and ridiculous.

I loved that I was able to bring the Holga to Kathleen and Michael's wedding at the Henry House in Arlington earlier this month and create images when I wanted, but also just enjoy being in the moment of such a special day.

A trip through Jacmel Hait with my Holga

My trip to Jacmel Haiti this past summer is something I will not soon be able to forget.

I am not sure if it was the people whom I met, the children I talked with and photographed or the beauty amidst the catastrophic disaster that made the most impact on me.

Haiti is a place that gets under your skin once you have been there. It's a country that is lost, but it's people are resilient and courageous.

Fall Engagement | Mike and Christina | Reston, VA

Another amazing fall day and I had the pleasure of spending time with Mike and Christina in Reston, VA among the trees and woods and water.

Mike and Christina are both artists and don't you know I LOVE working with fellow

artists! Christina is among many things a woodworker. She has some serious skill (and patience) when it comes to her craft.

Annie and Matt - Married {Hillsborough Vineyards | Virginia Wedding Photography}

Ahh the amazing views at Hillsborough Vineyards!

I am so glad that Annie and Matt introduced me to this wonderful place.

A week or so ago you may have seen my sneak peek photos from Annie and Matt's wedding at the vineyards, and as promised I am excited to share my top (eh hem) 40 or so favorites from their wedding. I wonder if there will ever be a day where I can narrow my top favorites down to say, oh... 10 or so. It's just so hard when you have an emotional connection to such amazing folks.

Fall Engagement | Amanda and Jeff | McLean Photographer

These last few days have been utterly glorious, all that fall weather should be. Filtered sunny skies with puffy clouds, golden light reflecting off the changing colors of the leaves. That cool air mixed with the warm patches of sun all of which really say fall to me.

I've been fortunate to be able to take advantage of these amazing days with my clients. This time of year is always super popular for portraits and engagement photo sessions, and this weekend was no exception.
