Jennifer Smith Gallery

I was totally honored and excited when artist Jennifer Smith contacted me about painting portraits of some of my clients. Jennifer paints amazing watercolor portraits, wall murals and super-cute name paintings, and she's offering some incredible deals just in time for Valentine's Day and Mother's/Father's Day gifts.

Below is a painting she did of one of my photographs (the original photo she painted is included so you can see how GOOD she is!) as a surprise for my sweet friend Carrie. She is also currently working on a bridal portrait of one of my favorite bridal photographs- can't wait to post the final product! All I did was email her the photograph, and she worked up this gorgeous piece of art in no time!

You can read more about Jennifer at www.jennifersmithgallery.com or you can email her at jennifer@jennifersmithgallery.com. Mention that you heard about her from Achor & Eden to get a ridiculously sweet discounted rate! {and to all you other photographers: email her about collaborating on some of YOUR work too!}




P.S. Can I just say how WEIRD it was to photograph a painting... of my photograph?! :)

Natalie + Jonnie Get Married

One of my best friends married her middle school sweetheart a few weeks ago in Atlanta. Natalie was one of the happiest and most beautiful brides I have seen, telling us over and over that it was the best wedding she had ever attended. Every bride should feel that way!

Monterey Minis

The Monterey Minis have been a huge success - check out these families who recently scored their Christmas card photos...

Isabella

I photographed our sweet friends' baby Isabella (who will become a big sister right around the time of her first birthday. Yeah, do the math. Her mom is a superhero.)

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

A Coronado Wedding

I was blessed with the opportunity to photograph a beautiful military wedding in Coronado, the city where David and I lived before moving north to Monterey, Ca. The weekend started off with some engagement photos of the couple on their last day of being engaged...

We then headed over to a fiesta-themed rehearsal dinner planned by the amazing Krista at A Joy Forever Events...

The wedding day...

Favorite: The bride kept sarcastically referring to her maid of honor as "maid" throughout the day, so they took this fitting "maid" photo...

The only photo the couple requested was one in the bed of his truck! Priceless...
