In spite of the random references to a certain "enhancement" commercial, the clawfoot tub, in my opinion, turned out to be a huge hit! Bless my husband for hauling this thing around (I can't even help him lift it, it's so heavy) and we could not have asked for more stunning light!

One night in Maui, my husband and I were sitting on the beach, preparing to watch another beautiful Hawaiian sunset. There was a photographer down the way photographing a lovely family of 4 all dressed in white (gasp! But it actually looked great). I had my camera by my side and I had snapped a few pics here and there, but I was totally uninspired. I was aching to photograph people...gosh, wouldn't a couple be so lovely in this amazing light?!
Lo and behold, there was a couple sitting near us. They were so cute and so in love and just having a great time. So, photographer geek that I am, I walked up to them and asked if they'd like me to take their picture. I can't believe they agreed! They must have thought I was some strange goofball tourist. But sometimes, you just have to go for it and I'm so glad we did!

(I know you've seen these images before...I'll explain below ;-))1. We are CLOSED March 25th-April 5th, so I will return all e-mails/phone calls as soon as I can after that.
2. Thank you to EVERYONE who took the time to participate in the blogstalker scavenger hunt and for all of your kind comments. I can't believe we had 84 entries! But of course, there can only be one winner. Congrats to entry number 82, Alexis...Random.org selected YOU! ;-) I've sent you an e-mail so let me know if you'd like the gift card or the charitable donation.
3. For March's Pic of the Month I simply could not decide so we have a three-way tie (no worries...this will not lessen anyone's chances of winning Pic of the Year). The first image is from her senior portraits session and I selected it because I don't think she has any idea just how lovely she is, inside and out. The second was from this incredible engagement session and I just had to recognize them because they endured extreme winds, 38 degree weather, and insane mud just to hang out in some flowers for a few minutes. The final image isn't technically a "March" picture, but I was really torn last month...it's probably one of my most favorite nursing images to date and I feel like it speaks volumes for the connections created between mother and baby.
4. Speaking of moms and babies, I'm so excited to share that images from Emme's birth were featured in the latest issue of Midwifery Today magazine! I was so thrilled to see such wonderful articles on homebirth and I loved reading what Emme's mommy had to say about her birth experience. Congrats!
We were supposed to go here for these Xpressions sessions, but I'm afraid we might have lost the tub (or even a person) in the crazy mud pit, so we had to switch locations. This worked out BEAUTIFULLY and oh, I'm so in love with this tub. [As with all Xpressions sessions, these images have only received basic edits to enhance contrast, but no retouching.

In order to get this...
we had to trek through about 8 inches of this...
...but they made it worth every second of it!
