Amrit Sadhana

Let me preface by saying that people like Amrit Sadhana don't come around every day. Aside from being an absolute joy (really, she takes the words sweet and kind and wonderful to a whole new level), she is one of the more photogenic people I've ever met. I will say I haven't had much of any experience with bad picture takers - everyone that gets in front of my camera seems to be ridiculously gorgeous and a breeze to photograph. But Amrit Sadhana? She was a real, real breeze. In need of new head shots for a, wait for it, upcoming opera she's the Lead in!?!, we spent the morning in San Juan Capistrano's historic district. The day was beautiful, the girl was stunning, and the soft dewy light made me swoon.

Now, if only every morning could start this way I'd be in heaven!

Seriously? Seeeeriously?! This isn't even fair.

Happy Weekend, Michelle

Kelsi & Matt : Destin, Florida

It was hardly a one day affair. In fact, it didn't come close to the expected afternoon ceremony and evening reception. With family and friends traveling from London, Wales, Oregon, and Oklahoma (and Matt himself making the journey from Australia), Kelsi and Matt thought it best to make their wedding an extended celebration. Over the course of one week both families (from grandparents to seven month twins) stayed in the same three story Destin, Florida beach house. They shared meals and kitchens and couches and bathrooms and even fought over equal sharing of baby cuddles. So by the time Kelsi & Matt said their vows and kissed to forever, the day was really more of a marriage of two families. The Cross's promised to jump the pond and visit the Brit's in Wales, while Matt's family happily agreed to do the same in Oregon. It was kind of exactly how every wedding, and marriage, should be.

Kelsi & Matt, ohhhh Kels & Matty. I really, really love you. If I write too much more I'll start crying. I'll really do it, right here, in front of the whole world! But know that I'm so wildly happy for you. You two could not be more perfectly made for each other and I feel like our little family is finally complete...

That is until you want to get started on those British-Aussie-American babies of yours. 

Lovelovelove, M.

The Northern Wind...

You're the Northern Wind Sending shivers down my spine You're like fallen leaves In an autumn night

You're the lullaby Singing me to sleep You are the other half You're like a missing piece

Oh my love Oh my love Oh my love You don't know What you're doing to me

You are all four seasons Rolled into one You're like the cold December snow In the warm July sun
