A few weeks ago, we launched theFIX website. Outside of being excited for the start of something new and the ability to meet people in 12 cities around the United States, the website marked a big per...
Last Friday night the conversation changed and barreled in your direction. Suddenly, everyones eyes were on you, waiting for answers to four different questions at once. I mightve panicked in that si...

There are moments when the day becomes too much. When I furiously rub my face, then slap my cheeks like Im a boxer getting into the ring. But Im no boxer. Im a girl planted in front of a computer wit...
Im often asked by wedding photographers if I shoot rehearsal dinners and the answer is: rarely. Theyre not a part of my wedding collections, but I did have the opportunity to shoot Nicole and Matts r...
Last week I bought a pair of cycle shoes. Ive been cycling indoors in my running shoes for seven years, but last week a group of the Regulars talked up their superior rides thanks to their cycle shoe...
Im sure its no surprise, but I really didnt keep up with football this year. I know, I know...Im sure I strike you as John Madden Junior, but throwing a ball, running, and smashing into someone else ...
As we made our way there, he turned to me and said, You better not show off and act like a pretzel. Yes, thats JD. He imagines Ill act like an inanimate object just to show how cool I am in yoga clas...
I sat with Melanie in the corner of a dark restaurant. So much has changed in the course of our 15-year friendship, yet nothing has. Shes still animated and slightly dramatic, and I still make fun of...
I think of random ideas all the time. Im a professional random idea thinker. If I got paid for all the random thoughts I thought, Id be a millionaire. Or at least a thousandaire. Yesterday I bought a...
Internet, its the time. Can you smell it? Feel it? When 15,000 photographers descend on Las Vegas for a week of learning, networking, and debauchery, you know its nothing else than the WPPI Conferenc...
I heard about Vivian Maier and--at the risk of being totally dramatic--I fell in love. You can find out more of her story here, but the Cliff Notes version is this: a guy stumbles into a pile of phot...
Last night we walked the dog and JD pulled the hoodie over my head, pulling the strings extra tout. It makes me feel warm, it makes him feel hes taking care of me. Its funny what strings can do. We w...
Yesterday the lovely Tiffany Buckmiller posted on my Facebook page and asked the following: For those of us who are deathly afraid of photographer "mixers" can you do a blog post on not embar...
Their wedding was set the weekend before Chinese New Year, a year to the date from when he got on one knee and asked for her hand in marriage. They couldnt think of a better time to ring in new lives...
I sat at the table and picked at the cream table cloth on Friday afternoon. I counted the stains, rearranged the pitcher of water a few times, and unwrapped a candy I didnt eat. My ears pulsed and my...
She walked into the room and though it was a gloriously sunny day in Southern California, but her smile illuminated the lounge even more brightly. Monique held hands with Mike when we first met and t...
Happy Friday, yall! Wait...yall? Or...yall? SOMEBODY FROM TEXAS PLEASE CLARIFY THIS FOR ME! Speaking of the Lone State, Im beyond thrilled to announce that The {Dallas} Fix is Sold Out! The support f...
Im biased. I know this. I think my pillow is the best pillow...I think JD chooses the best nectarines...I think Im the best Riverdancer (Im a wannabe Irish girl). I also happen to think I have the be...
The story started when he stopped sending the photo albums, online libraries of his recent adventures to keep his out-of-state family up to date with his life. Tony was a precocious kid (the type of ...
Hes the first thing I see when I wake up, and the last thing I see before I go to sleep. He presses his body into mine in the darkness of night, follows me in the pastel light of morning, and when I ...
I spent all of yesterday pacing my office. I bit my nails, I danced, I clipped magazines, but mostly I just sat there and worried. AND WHAT IF NO ONE COMES THEN WHAT?!?! What if its just me and JD an...
I think it happens to anyone pursuing an artistic endeavor: you get stuck. Or maybe Im the only person whos felt this way, the only person whos let the funk cloud my mind. If thats the case, this pos...
A couple weeks ago, I posted a video on How to Photograph Groom Preparation Photos on a Wedding Day, but there were a few people who asked, specifically, about posing a groom, which usually happens a...

Last year at a photography conference, I had the pleasure of meeting with a small group of photographers for an informal Q+A. This event--as simple and non-descript as it was--was one the highlights ...
One of my favorite things to do as I gear up for the new year is to plan engagement sessions. I adore getting to know my clients before their wedding, and the opportunity to see how they love in fron...
Its this weird thing we do, almost like its become the start to every brain-storming session we have. And Ill always preface it the same way: Okay, so. This is a bad idea...but I LOVE bad ideas...bec...
