Chanterelle Photography

It must have been a “brown” week – Deanna & Eric chose a distressed brown leather for their album cover, accented by an ostrich texture in a golden tone. Then Marie & Tommy chose a solid chocolate brown leather with a touch of caramel toned lizard. And who said brown has to be neutral?

It’s getting harder and harder to come up with something unique for our Christmas card – after last year’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” card, we had our work cut out for us. This year, Missy and I decided to keep things simple and chic, with a retro twist! Happy hol...

Like always, the last few months of the year are completely nuts in the Chanterelle Photography world, between fall weddings, workshops, and holiday sessions. It’s the craziest time of year, without a doubt. ...

As the saying goes, some things never change. The last time I saw Davis, his mom explained to me that instead of sucking his thumb, he used two fingers. She also said he’d always had a way of looking “concerned”. Whe...

Meghan and Adam’s wedding was a different one for me – because I hadn’t even spoken to either one of them until the big day. Whe...

You might remember Isabella from her newborn session, when she rocked a tiny baby faux hawk and a hot pink and black tutu. Well she was back to rock the tutus again...

It’s funny how some people just seem to “fit” together. Jamie and Tyson fit. Both are supremely talented (during the session, Tyson played the piano while Jamie sang softly). Both are disgustingly adorable and stylish (you know I say that with much love!). And...

A few weeks ago, I headed to Nashville for a photography workshop with my friends Steve & Shelley Harrington, who make up a kick butt team that is one of the top in the country when it comes to high school senior photography...

Went to the release party Wednesday night and picked up the finished Jonathan Bloom CD, “Green” – and it looks awesome! I’m pretty sure I squealed like a 12 year old girl at the midnight showing of Twilight when I saw it. Big h...

If you’ve been to La Jolla, Crockmier’s, or The Alley Bar lately and heard a little Ben Harper or Kings of Leon being sung by a guy with a guitar, chances are you’ve heard Jonathan Bloom. Tha...

A few months ago, I saw the always fashionable Ty sporting perfectly coiffed retro hair and equally chic glasses – and immediately, the idea of a “Mad Men”-slash-men’s fashion editorial inspired shoot popped into my head. It to...

Whew! Since my last blog post, things have been nuts – in the last few weeks I’ve been swamped with fall/holiday sessions, plus I’ve taken trips to Nashville and Dallas for photography workshops (gotta make sure I stay on my toes so I can keep bringing you new and exciting stuff). But...

I’ve been lucky to know Candice and Hammond for few years now, through my good friend Kamee. We used to all go out to dinner and jokingly talk about how Candice wanted me to shoot their wedding if they ever got engaged, and I would say that if they ever got engaged they knew who to call. ...

If you’re a regular blog reader, you’ll recognize a lot of the faces in this post. I can’t say enough about Melissa & Chambers and their families – they are just genuinely nice people, the kind of people that it just feels good to be around. This ...
