Eeep! What could be better than an adorable couple, a gorgeous location and the (second) Cutest Dog in the Universe? I had a total blast photographing Jenn and Jonathan and their sweet Corgi, Bear, last week.
For the photo geeks out there, I am still loving my new Nikon gear. I feel like I can finally make the images that float around in my head, without the equipment holding me back.
I have a TON of images to share, so grab a cup of tea and enjoy :)

I received an email from Valerie, who met with me in 2005 when her and Bobby were getting married. She explained that, although she didn't hire Boutwell Studio for their wedding, she has never forgotten how much she enjoyed my photography. So what better way to celebrate their anniversary, than a portrait session with their new doggie? I was thrilled to oblige!
To Valerie and Bobby: Happy Anniversary!

Nicole, Steve and I had a great time exploring the old train station in Santa Ana last week. This couple has a great easy-going and laid-back personality and some crazy good chemistry. It was a total blast shooting this engagement session. Here are a couple favorites from their session -
To Nicole and Steve: So looking forward to your big day!

The photo near on the fountain is really disturning, did you use a bokeh plugin / TS? there's no reason why the leg would be out of focus they are the same level as the heads.
Peace

If you know me, you know I love the little things. And with all the time and effort my lovely clients and their fabulous event planners put in to choosing every last detail, I know how important it is to shoot those things. Dresses, shoes, rings and flowers.... they all make my heart sing. Here are my favorite detail and decor shots of 2009.

that first dress is utterly PERFECT. it is the stuff dreams are made of.

Hmm tried commenting and said I've commented too many times in a short period of time...that's odd. haven't commented in days! :) I LOVE all the shots!!! But, #1 is my fave. I want that dress to just wear around my house. :)
