this blog will no longer show updates. we’re going to a blog-site only web presence. i’m excited about this because my website was being neglected and i hadn’t updated it in over two years! for me, there’s no sense in updating a blog and a website. yay for cutting down on responsibilities! 
i had the opportunity to photograph some commercial images for a few local businesses…

first up is the magnolia center/ the marquee- the marquee is also a beautiful wedding venue, and it just happens to be right across the street from the studio!
i’ve had the honor to photograph the food for sambuca and sambuca 360 again. i love these types of shoots. such a different take on photography, it amazes me how differently you have to approach food photography. it really challenges me in a whole different way than portraits do. i love it! and i love that sambuca wants different photos- not photos that they see everywhere else.
erin paige boyle was the food stylist for this shoot, she does amazing work. this girl has got some yummy food tricks up her sleeves for sure.
if you guys haven’t been to sambuca uptown, or sambuca 360 you need to go. they have amazing food, and both have a great atmosphere!
This post is making me hungry!
Heather, these are beautiful. Loving it!
our friend (and former client) Taylor Frettoloso had us take some pictures for her new website which we also designed for her! thanks taylor!
if you’re in need of a rad make-up artist hop on over to her site and get in contact with her!
and gorgeous taylor herself 
Designing WEBSITES now, too?!?!?!? I LOVE IT!!! Keep movin’ on up, grrrrrrl!
i have had the absolute pleasure of working with sambuca over the last year for the photos for their new website and promo materials. it’s been such a great experience working with them, and having the opportunity to be creative with these shoots. we’ll be sharing more from the last year with them soon.
paige erin fletcher was the talented food stylist behind this shoot.
