Thank You!

This is how a photographer extends their gratitude of thanks to someone…with a photo shoot! Just wanted to give a huge thanks to Robert for logistically planning, holding lenses, bringing chairs for me to stand on, and carrying my 310 pound camera bag to and from the car, while I was in Chicago.

nik - Wow Q you look all grown up :)May 2, 2009 – 9:50 am

Q - After months of loyal following and admiration of your enthusiasm for photography, I have become curious to know how you do such amazing work. Well Internet, let me tell you, she might make it look easy but it is very hard work. So now that I have had the honor to work with you (be your lens boy, bag boy, water boy, etc.), I have the bragging rights and can add to my resume that I have worked with The Megan Beth. THANK YOU Megan, and much props to Alberta. I extend my gratitude of thanks to YOU for shooting this wedding…

p.s. Now, can you please remove my mug from your blog or add another post so that your loyal fans continue to visit.April 30, 2009 – 6:38 pm

Yolanda and Victor: Sneak Peek

Over the weekend I traveled to Chicago to photograph Yolanda and Victor’s wedding. They let me do whatever I wanted, and I LOVE when couples leave the creativity up to me. Although it certainly helped that they are one hot couple. Check back for the full post.

I mean, really? Wow!

Crazy talk: Style.

One blog reader recently commented that I am always so stylish and cutely dressed. Yes, I indeed did a double take to make sure that was in fact what I was reading. Although, INTERNET, don’t worry, I have made her an appointment with the optometrist for next Wednesday at 9AM. CLEARLY she needs her eyes checked.

Lately (as in the last 2 years) the shopping and looking stylish has taken a drastic nose dive into the sand. I spend most of my time working at the restaurant, and the other three free days a year sitting at my computer trying to get editing done. When I actually have a day off my brain goes into shock mode and can’t pick an outfit out for the life of me, I don’t even know where to begin. TOO MUCH PRESSURE. I CAN’T DO IT, I CAN’T DO IT! And then, I usually end up wearing jeans, my black pumas, a black shirt, and a hoodie sweatshirt. Yes, that is EXACTLY WHAT I WEAR TO WORK at the restaurant.

In my attempt to convince myself of said statement actually being true, I have decided to start a style post. They aren’t all necessarily clothes, just things I like and think are cute. Not sure how often this will happen, but I’d thought I’d give it a whirl. I only have had one of these, and well, I killed it.

1. Chartreuse clutch I would die for from Etsy.
2. Gorgeous Turquoise earrings from Banana Republic.
3. Fancy gray flip flops from J. Crew.
4. Summery shirt from BCBG.
5. Handmade birdcage veil from Etsy. Handmade Lovelies is a company by a photographer.
6. Gray Heels from Nordstroms.
7. I adore paper. Thick, thin, envelopes, enclosures, invites, letterpress, you name it. And these letterpress invites from Bella Figura are AH-MAZ-ING.
8. I think topiaries are the cutest little plants. EVER. Too bad I don’t have a green thumb. Check out this little guy at Smith & Hawkin.
9. Although I have yet to figure out a use for these little suitcases from the Paper Source, I think they are adorable.
10. Headbands are all the rage these days, and this one from J. Crew, would make an awesome accessory.

Melissa Oholendt - I think we were destined to be best friends. I loved EVERYTHING you picked out.April 28, 2009 – 9:05 pm

Crustiness.

Before things start to get really crazy around here, I wanted to remind myself why I love shooting, and shoot some things for myself. Just because. Nothing in particular, nothing spectacular, but because I love photography. So in the past few weeks my camera has accompanied me to the grocery store, Chipotle, and my mini field trips to see what crusty things I could find. If you hadn’t noticed, I have a slight gravitational pull towards blue/green things, and all things crusty. The older and crustier, the better.
