| Top 10 Wedding Photographer of 2009! |
|
 |
I'm excited to share that I was chosen by the editors of American Photo magazine as one of their "Top 10 Wedding Photographers of 2009." What an honor! Thanks to all those who made this possible. I love what I do, and I'm lucky to have great clients who allow me to be a photographer. This is definitely one of those "defining moments in my life," and my dad, who was always so supportive of my business, would be so proud.

Today I did my first liveBooks webinar! What fun! For those of you who don't know what a liveBooks webinar is, please click HERE. It's a great resource for photographers. My topic today was the trick to getting great dog portraits.
Thanks to all those who listened in, and for your kind words. I hope I was able to provide some inspiration and information that you can apply to your own businesses.
Happy Shooting! |

Today I received an email from the editor at Project Wedding letting me know that they've selected one of my images to grace their home page all this week! The image is from Anna + Seth's gorgeous May wedding last year at Manka's Boathouse. Makeup and hair by the talented Sherrie Long.
Anna + Seth's wedding was featured on Project Wedding a while back, and you can see more of their beautiful wedding images here.

| Featured on Etoile: by Bliss'd |
|
 |
I was so delighted to be featured on Etoile by my former bride and now wedding planner extraordinaire, Michelle Miyairi of Bliss'd!
It's no surprise that given the care and attention that Michelle had put into her own wedding almost three years ago that she now operates a successful wedding and event planning business. I just adore Michelle and highly recommend her to all my brides!
Michelle's blog, Bliss'd {Something to BLOG about} is definitely one to bookmark! It's packed with great ideas for brides and features some of the best-known vendors in the Bay Area.

| Here are a few of my favorite shots, as well as details, from Michelle's wedding to Tosh in June 2006. I was fortunate to have Gene Higa shoot along with me that day, and I believe he's being featured on Etoile tomorrow! |
