It's already turning cool and my pasty skin never got a chance to cook up some heat for the winter.

I have a heaping handful of shoots I want to blog about, but I felt like posting this one as I'm listening to the John Coltrane record Josh just gave me. :) I now know I've never listened to real jazz before...

Andy would call himself a drifter and I met him at the Rabbit Hole (cafe around my corner) on his NY circuit back to New Orleans. He was laughing boisterously loudly from a table away which was hard not to catch onto, despite the fact I didn't know him or what was funny. He became a Rabbit Hole regular I always counted on seeing when getting coffee (and taking a break from editing!) We shot these photos at Coney Island a few days before he drove back to New Orleans. Thanks to Jaimie for lighting for us.

(Despite the rally chaos, their awesome photographer, David Pullum, also the organizer for the Floshops conference I attended in London earlier this year, delivered a beautiful body of work.)

I was excited when they contacted me for a year-later photo session -- this time, New York-style. So with bubbles, high heels, and photo gear in tow, we sauntered around the park near the Brooklyn Museum until after dark.

Randi and Jared were a total blast to photograph -- so in love and so expressive about it. We even got a lucky break from all the summer rain spells, so we had time to hit the streets for some Tribeca fun. :)

I flew out to Austin this weekend to photograph Rachel and Sterling's wedding at the beautiful Mercury Hall. I was super excited to hear they were getting married since I knew them both from Baylor, where Rachel and I took French classes together all through college. (She's working on her PhD now... wow!)

Austin is such a beautiful city, and so relaxing -- but Rachel, Sterling, and their wonderful families were the reason I enjoyed myself so much.

One of the greatest parts of being a photographer is being able to meet so many fun, interesting New Yorkers along the way. While out shooting with Randi and Jared I forgot I was "working" -- I love it when that happens. :)

The Foundry, Long Island City

I promise I'm going to catch up with weddings and engagements soon. I feel like it's been forever since I posted one. Megan and Ben's wedding was such a fun day -- it was one of the first warm days of spring, and the perfect way for Megan and Ben to begin their SIX-MONTH HONEYMOON around the world! They left their jobs, apartment, put all of their things in storage, and are currently jetting around the globe. Amazing. :)

They had their first meeting on the roof deck of the Ravel Hotel, overlooking Manhattan.

Their wedding cake was amazing -- there were two little runners on the top, which is how Megan and Ben met, while running a marathon. (Ben made the cake himself!)
