The enLIGHTen Project-Auction is now open!

Many months of work with our nonprofit, Kids of Kathmandu, have come down to this week!

I'm so pleased to announce that our 2nd Annual Fundraising Gala, The enLIGHTen Project, is now on!

We have 17 incredible lighting designers that have created and donated pieces for the auction that is now open! Andrew and I have been visiting their studios over the past couple months and photographing their process. It has been amazingly inspiring and fun to meet these talented people, the very top of the game...from California to New York, between (Idaho) and beyond (New Zealand). See pictures from these visits here!

I have to give a special shout out to my husband too who has been working so hard and was absolutely instrumental to putting this elite list together. (and did a light of his own too which i love!) Its been so much fun to work on this together combining everything we love into one....design + good people+ photography + the kids in Nepal. really, what else is there?! well, there's sleep and balanced meals....but...

We also have opened this year's photo sale to other photographers and invited 4 amazing photographers including New York Times Magazine photographer Alessandra Petlin and well-followed writer and photographer and Green Energy Advisor to Kids of Kathmandu, Kashish Das Shrestha, to share the walls with me. I'm so happy with our lineup and respect the work these photographers have done and continue to do in Nepal.

Visit the new website, buy tickets for May 17th, or bid online for the auction. www.kidsofkathmandu.org

The proceeds of The enLIGHTen Project are going to purchase and install solar panels, batteries, and inverters for the orphanage we support in Nepal. It will also continue to go towards the education of these 49 children to whom we have given our word.

Thanks for all of your support! Hope to see you at the Gala!

Congratulations Eileen + Rupert! An International Affair!

A love story set in Dubai...by way of New York, England, Korea, and France...

A beautiful gaggle of sisters, a charming bunch of lads, fun hats,  an insanely awesome band, a majorly fun DJ, dress changes, and a golden sunset....it was THAT kind of day!

Congratulations Eileen + Rupert!
Thanks for sharing your day with us.
We wish you all the best!

Twins Photo Shoot, 4 months

Sister and Brother twins Luc + Camille are double the bliss.
When i walked into their apartment the two of them were just relaxing on the couch like 2 little dolls.

Their little eyebrows hold so much expression.
Photographing these amazing new little people of the world is still one of my favorite things to do!

Congrats to your new family of 4 (or 7 if we count 2 cats and 1 dog!)

Thanks for sharing your day with me!

Little Mia welcomes Baby Jack

Still catching up posts from our trip to LA.... and this day was definitely a highlight.

I got to photograph my college roommate Michelle and her 9 days fresh, family of four!

For the first 10 minutes little Mia wouldnt say a word. She hid behind her mom shy as a mouse when this stranger with a camera came in the house. (But if she looked on the shelf, she would see a photo of me on a girl's trip with her mom to Vegas. Haha! Different time!)
Anyway, the moment we walked into newborn Jack's room, Mia turned into a Jack herself...Jack in the Box! Surprise! She was at full tilt and i fell madly in love with her! Look at the locks!

I myself know there is a transition when your new brother comes into the world. We have an awesome audio tape that i need to dig up (that my brother actually played at my wedding!) where my dad tells me
"Guess what? Mommy had a boy. You have a baby brother!"
To which i sob...."I dont want a brother! I want a sister!"
Oh man. Its classic. Thank you dad for recording that on a good old fashioned casette recorder! And dad says "Well, we can't take him back!" hahaha!
Needless to say, i cannot IMAGINE my life without my brother...and to watch Mia in her first days with a brother that will be her teammate for life, it was gorgeous.

Love you Michi + Vlad! I'm so happy to share in these new post-Vegas parts of life together.

How cool is Dad as DJ?? It was a dance party for sure.








This image says it all. That's a wrap!
