One of my greatest dreams is to live a life of laughter, love and travel.
I'm so accustomed to looking forward in life: making intentions or goals, brainstorming about what I could be doing better or faster, etc. I'm so thankful to my fitness instructor who did a 2008 reflection at the end of class the other day because it really hit home. Her words inspired me to reflect in the way I usually idealize reflection...and I found out that it really is possible to savor memories like a supreme glass of wine. Scrolling through my photos from this past year, I savored the fact that I am living my dream. Life is sweet, thanks to you, my friends. Thank you for trusting me with the grand job of bottling your love into jpgs. :-)
Here are some of my favorite shots of 2008. P.S. I will have to add more photos later.

a sweet collection of images from 2008, Kate. and reflection really hit the spot...I too approached the new year not about making resolutions, but to reflect...like you a lot of memories are hitting home and being savored. Much more meaningful than a "I need to lose weight" resolution. :)
btw, I'm craving cupcakes...:)

WOW. Those are some stunners! I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite, but I love the last two.

loved scrolling through your photos crisp, with a sweet finish. They are simply inspirational to look at, seeing love with a fresh start , brings joy and warms my heart. Your photos reminded me of our wedding day and how I thought of scott in that moment, and I'm sitting in the cherish of the moment. Thanks for inspiring me today!(My daughter is taking a crap at my feet while I'm typing this. I'm having an inspirational moment, and she is pooping....classic.)

The holidays were full of lovely, extended time with family. Music, gingerbread, snow, laughs...it was beyond idyllic. Here are a few from the past few weeks. Happy New Year everyone!



My niece loved twirling in her new ballet skirt!
My sister and I headed to the garage for what turned out to be a hysterical photo shoot.

The Stanford Memorial Church provided the backdrop for the gorgeous, regal wedding of Nicole & Charley. Their sweetness and tenderness with each other really struck me at their engagement session a couple of weeks ago so I couldn't wait for their wedding day. The day was filled with the ease of deep, meant-for-each-other-love and the beauty of tightly-knit families. It was such heaven!
Nicole's daughter and mother.
Villa Montalvo was perfection.
The coffee bar was a huge hit.
Studio Cake again, of course. Always incredible!

Bride's Cafe is a feast for the eyes--better than any cupcake out there. Janie Medley is the mastermind behind this beautiful blog and I was honored when she asked to feature Annie & Kevin's wedding photos. I'm also happy to announce that Erik & Katie's wedding will be featured soon as well!

Chris needed a quick facebook shot but I couldn't resist doing a couple that were a little less straightforward. :-) Look at this handsome man!
