this all happened before she arrived.

she fell hard in a downeastern fashion.

one of my beautiful college bff's, my dearest kaia bella became mrs. kaia cunningham in a gorgeous gloucester wedding to her senor ben two weekends ago...the forecast had predicted rain showers but we were were spared +got nothing but a couple of drips here and there to interrupt the perfection...a good sign for a long life of love and luck. +as i said in my speech, i wish you two only the best for always!!

the wizard (my favorite nickname i've ever received courtesy of ben:)

+the 3 well bounced light fotos-that are clearly more pro flash jams-were taken by their skilled wedding photographer channing johnson...see more at his blog here.

we ate the stars for breakfast.

the wind was mild and thus, the heat stayed mostly in my mouth.

into the mystic roughest rough cuts:

happy friday y'all.
i thought i'd share some really really rough draft cuts of my recent work..these are some of the latest scans--i haven't retouched a thing--no color correcting, no cropping or web ready nothin'..all of them are much more saturated in real life but i'm sharing anyway.
given that all of the sudden it's frickin cold as nuts outside (+the general consensus at last nights festivities was that no one is ready for winter to be here already), i figured today might be a perfect time to share some rainbo sunny daydreams.
have a good one.
+thanks to all my friends for being such fantastic subjects, models, or rather-inspiring+thoughtful individuals...couldn't do this without you.
