“Kaitlin– I am sure you love shooting the entire wedding day, but if you had to pick a favorite part of the day, what would it be and why? Was it always this part for you, or has it changed as you shoot more and more weddings?” — Inquisitive Beginner Dear Inquisitive Beginner, What a […]

I promise by the the end of this month I will have posted all of my shoots from United. I know it may seem like I have been talking about it since I went in FEBRUARY! I still can’t believe that its already April?!?! Goodness! If you have been following my blog, United is not […]

Who remembers that EPIC shoot of the bride at sunrise in Santa Barbara, CA United 2013? UM YEA….Holy gorg right!??!

While at UNITED 2013 in Santa Barbara, California….we were given the opportunity to take part in different shoots and classes to better our crafts.

I have followed her work for a while now, but recently had the insane pleasure of meeting her at UNITED 2013 out in Santa Barbara, California. Her energy, excitement […]

OR better yet…we get everyone dressed and ready to go and only wind up having a solid 10 minutes alone with the bride and groom […]

  Who has heard of ‘SMASH?’ It is in its second season of pure glory on NBC and in my opinion….KNOCKS GLEE out of the ding, dong, dang water. It has music, theater, drama, comedy, satire, ugh….basically Im in love with the show and countdown my weeks until it airs. Regardless of being an amazing […]

“Kaitlin- I feel like I am ‘pimping” myself out at weddings by leaving stacks of business cards around for people to grab. And to be honest, I am not sure ANYONE is taking them! There has to be a better way. I saw you mention something about an Event Card…what is that?”   Dear Looking […]
