After listening to the beautiful Italian language for so many days in a row, I'm even more tickled to learn that The Art of Children's Portrait Photography has been re-published in Italian now, too ... surprised to see the cover looking so different! If any of my Italian-reading friends want to tell me what the cover says, you'd save me a most arduous trip to google. (oh - and, by the way, if it says something about this ghastly photographer fumbling with her equipment, writing like a hack, and interacting with children in the most awkward of ways - just, y'know, go ahead and email me privately ;)

I just returned from a beautiful trip to Italy, happily blending work with pleasure and thoroughly enjoyed capturing some wonderful collections of stock photography throughout Rome, Florence and the surrounding countryside, as well a glimpse at the coastline. It's always such a joy to travel throughout Europe. I really love their complex/extraordinarily simple train system. Thanks to Lisa Walter for coming along for the ride :) I will be posting some more photographs soon but here's at least one sweet image of the Tuscan countryside...

Emmy & Robert are such a light-hearted, sweet couple - they truly had a beautiful wedding day, complete with bright, sunshiny colors and flying butterflies, kind of like their personalities :) This first image I just stumbled across - omg, i love it when that happens ... meandering across a scene that looks you would've set it up ...

Emmy's dad seeing her for the first time...

Can you see the expression on Robert's friend's face, how seriously he took the sword swatting ;) ??

I'm thinking their kids will have blue eyes?

My sweet friend Mandy & her extremely helpful little flower girl, Annie Allen :)

Seriously, I think these two really like each other ...

Congratulations, Emmy & Robert - I hope Year One of marriage is awesome!!!
