i asked that question when i was dating my husband. it seemed the only two things that excited him were: one, asking me on dates (everyother night) and two, talking about this mysterious place called marfa.  soon after we met he took me out to west texas to discover the beauty of texas that i never knew about and we also fell in love!

west texas is where we were married, where we have spent many holidays, and a place where i have been inspired artistically and spiritually.

so why the heck am i always talking about marfa?  i soon embark on a week long journey to marfa to be inspired with 13 women photographers! i am beyond blessed to see this group of women come together. i think that we will all be inspired by the bond that we will share and the friendships we will make.   we will share our journey on the blog (not up just yet) that you can follow if you'd like and see what we are up to on twitter @marfatrip

i can't wait to be inspired soon!  All that said.....I will be away from the office from June 21st - July 1st.

i am always honored when the knot publishes my weddings!  it is fun to see stories of my bride and groom's wedding and also just to see my pictures published is always a treat!  this wedding was especially special because it was after hurricane ike and it felt so special with close family and friends together with NO electricity!  they had one small generator going to fan the cake but that was all!
