amelia works her magic!

a few weeks ago, erik and i were photographed by the fabbbulous amelia lyon & her too-much-fun hub, justin. we wanted to get a unique pic for our annual Christmas card and came away with these stunnnnning images. amelia is an immensely talented photographer who always produces the most lovely, modern-yet-vintage-feeling photos. she also has a fresh, innate sense of style that comes through in all of her images. i LOVE her work for weddings and portraits! hip, stylish and full of emotion. make sure to check her out!

after our shoot, we went for a delightful double-date at the scrumptious thai eatery, daisy mint. good times + good food! looking forward to doing it again soon! amelia — thank you for sharing your incredible gift with us!

here’s a peek at a few pics from the shoot!

false lashes are my faaaavorite!

i left out a few favorites so you can check them out on amelia’s blog. 😉 make sure to leave her some love for making us look so good!

pssst… check out my website for some fun updates! i went from 5 galleries to 13 (whee!) and added new testimonials + fab friends. if you’re an avid blog stalker (i love you for it!), you will have seen most of the new pictures already. but, i’m excited that my site has a fresh face lift after nearly 3 years! many, many kudos to my darling client-turned-friend stacie of leftwave designs for all her help with the updates! if you are looking for a rad, stylish, creative web designer, give stacie a ring!! {keep an eye out for my post on stacie’s uber-fab wedding later this week…}
