I attended the IPhotoshop people seminar a few days ago and it woke me up. It refreshed me – it made me want to create more dramatic art peices for my clients. Don’t get me wrong – my style has always been very vibrant and artistic – but I want to push it. I am going to push my 50 favorites for you guys more and more now. I am soon going to be offering fine art albums – I am very excited to get going on this. I am so excited for all of my weddings for 2009 – wedding season is starting! Here is a sneak from the shoot that I did today. It was an incredible day – full of  smiles – laughs and  trust. picture-59picture-67picture-591

This Makes My Heart Smile.

March 3rd, 2009

Hi Erica,

I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how wonderful the wedding photos were.  We were both so pleased with how everything turned out.  My mom can’t stop looking at them, either! (she calls to tell me about that all the time…”Oh, Clarissa, these wedding pictures are so beautiful, I keep looking at them.” :)
I’m in school full-time right now, so I haven’t been able to get on the computer much, but when I have a moment I’ll be sure to leave a good review on your Yelp page.  Thank you so much!

It was raining today! The three of us had planned on this shoot for a few months now. Amy wanted to include her sister in the trash the dress session while she was in town. We did not let a little ( well… a lot ) of rain stop us. We went to a house in the East Bay that belongs to their family. It was a great time – filled with chats about sisters ( I told them all about my sister… ) I love sisters! Here are some of my favorites. I loved this house – it was a dream. The walls were amazing. I loved to manipulate the walls. I just love pink – especially with brides. The first photo is my favorite.

Happy Birthday Toby!!

March 3rd, 2009

Happy birthday TOBY!! I am so lucky to be so close my family. We lucked out that Toby’s one year old party was while my mom was in town and one of the last Saturdays I have off before wedding season. It was a great day filled with love, dances, skirts and family.
