This week at I Heart Faces, the theme is photojournalism - a picture that tells a story. I took this picture at my cousin’s wedding. My uncle, a very unemotional man, got up to thank the rehearsal dinner guests for coming, and emotion and tears spilled out. Quickly followed in recovery by a joke, of course!
It was because it she got a new dress in the mail from her Granny in Scotland.
It was because the day was beautiful.
It was because we needed some girl time at the beach.
And it was because I don’t ever want to forget the way her eyes sparkle against the sand, how she twirls her dress, or how her red curls blow with the beach breeze.
These moments will never be forgotten.
This is Catie. She’s a swimmer, modest about how good she is, younger child, and although it’s not hard to make me notice my height problem, standing next to Catie made me feel very, very short. Lucky girl! She’s also goes to the school my husband teaches at. It made me laugh hearing her refer to him as “Señor Durik”. Catie did a fantastic job during her shoot. Even though we got rained on, her hair totally played along.
This is Kate. She has big, beautiful, brown eyes, it’s easy to make her laugh, and she makes crazy heat and humidity look like nothing!
Brenda, a photographer herself, won this session for her mom for Mother’s Day. I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a family with so much personality! From hair color to props, this family knows who they are. Meet Brenda, her mom Barb, brother Ryan and boyfriend Doug.
This past weekend, I headed up to Spartanburg, SC for an (un)Workshop. What more can I say than it was an amazing day full of getting to know fellow photographers and shooting a gorgeous model?
A big thank you to all my new friends for coming along!
I struggled with this theme because it seems I have absolutely nothing purple around. Nothing a quick trip to the store and $1 on discount fabric can’t fix!

I love Erika and Matt’s story. She disliked him from the start. She thought he was a know-it-all in the computer class she had gone to, providentially, by mistake. Later that day, after getting a call that ended her relationship with another guy, she ran into Matt. She was crying and thought he asked her if she wanted a hug. He thought the girl who couldn’t even set up an email address just wrapped herself around him, sobbing, without any notice. And once she realized that her sobs had left mascara, tears and snot on his shirt, she took off, mumbling apologies.
But it’s not hard to figure out why Matt went looking for her the next day. Erika’s smile is contagious. She’s so full of life and energy, you just can’t help but feel good inside when you’re around her. And that’s just how I felt yesterday when I finally met Erika in Fort Lauderdale for the first time after months of planning. I couldn’t be happier for them and had so much fun taking pictures of Erika and Matt and their best man and maid of honor.
You guys were a blast to work with. Thank you!
Wait for it….
…jump shot!
