I’ve fallen a bit behind on my weekly “life” series, but I think this one photo will represent what the past few weeks have looked like in my world. I will say, we welcomed some much needed rain today~ we were all so relieved it came. I’m sure that soon enough we’ll return to trying to find ways to cool off. More to come….

Allie + Barry : A Styled Wedding Shoot

Athena — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:46:42 +0000

Near the end of a windy road, up on a ridge, under a sweet old oak. …..magic happened. I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with an incredible group of fresh talent for this project- 3 women who call themselves Gold Dust Collective. This perfect threesome is going to take the wedding and event planning industry by storm- providing top notch planning and design service to clients who are ready for something new and unprecedented in this field. The magic they create as a team is unique and beautiful. It’s powerful, but not overstated. I am so excited to for our future collaborations! Special thanks to our fun loving (and gorgeous) couple Allie and Barry. Feast your eyes on this set- completely styled by the awesome Gold Dust Collective. Enjoy!

I absolutely love their mini bar set-up. so inviting. come on-in, have a drink- stay awhile!

Their little food table. Yes- please! Beautiful and yummy.

I adore this couple’s set-up too. I couldn’t think of a more romantic place to dine with my loved one.

Ponies, a bounce house, a new ‘do’, and more of Spring, Spring, Spring!

What ‘Home’ Looks Like

Athena — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:51:53 +0000

Well, better late than never I suppose! I missed my monthly group project for March on ‘Home’ but I am here now. What is home for me? My Family and the space we share. It’s those in between moments of the day to day that fill my heart. It’s watching what joy in the simple things these girls find. It’s me too, finding that joy through them.

Messy fun with Easter egg dying.

It’s not about what’s inside for her. It’s about how it comes together.

My daughter’s first kindergarten performance at her amazing school. What glee we find in these simple things.

Life; this week. (second installation)

I’m happy to be back again this week to bring a little glimpse of my life. What happened? Spring Break- boiled eggs, farm visits, swimming (as much as humanly possible), and a look into Spring in California- it’s arrived, and we are so SO happy!

Meredith + Robb : Nevada City Destination Wedding!

Athena — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 20:08:13 +0000

Meredith’s maid of honor told her during her toast~ ‘you love him so perfectly and so easily,’ and it does seem so clear to me. What a perfect union and a beautiful wedding. Thank you for bringing me along to celebrate with you… I couldn’t have imagined a more fabulous way to kick off my 2013 season!

What an interesting time of year this is for a wedding photographer. While the portraits are slower… all the business stuff is happening; drumming up my 2013 clients, finally adding all those 2012 weddings to my website, pushing papers- ya know, fun stuff! Last year I was just returning from wppi~ (you can read about it here) and was super jazzed about all the amazing things I learned, and people I met, and the list goes on. This year for various reasons~ (good and exciting ones) I didn’t make it. So, what has been happening then in my photo life if I’m not at wppi, and I’m not taking any portraits? A LOT! My Hipsta gallery on my phone has too many snaps to count. It’s all my family, friends, and really just all the cool stuff I see when I’m out in the world not taking pictures of other people. And so~ I thought I would share with you some personal photo shenanigans from my phone. I am hoping to make this a regular thing~ I would love to get these galleries off my phone and into the world. Enjoy!

11th hour experimentation.

My imperfect backdrop is not intentional. Just a sign of procrastination! Please go visit Marsette from Texas to see her spin on Shadow.
