michelle & robert were married on labor day at the very beautiful, inn of the seventh ray, in topanga canyon.  i had been dreaming of shooting them at that dreamy location for almost a year and as labor day approached, so did my labor day with clementine!  :)  there was lots of celebrating going on that very special monday as miss clementine had come into the world earlier than we had expected her but i was so very disappointed and sad i wasn’t able to be there myself at michelle and robert’s wedding as i was stuck in the hospital recovering.  but…  donny, aka super dad/super photographer man, full of all sorts of adrenaline after just seeing his daughter be born, was the lucky one able to document their wonderfully lovely day, along our two fabulous 2nd shooters, leeanne and sarah!  that day, after the wedding when he got back to the hospital to see me, he was so happy and full of joy and as he scooped up clementine in his arms, he just couldn’t stop talking about what wonderfully kind people michelle and robert were and how it only made him more full of life after seeing them be married and how grateful he was to have this blessing of a job and then come home to his new baby.  i have enjoyed pretending i was there at their wedding while editing their images and i love how there is such a feeling of splendor about them… sweetness, simplicity and happiness.  thank you, michelle and robert for giving us the honor of being able to be part of that lovely day and your even greater kindness in understanding that our little clementine had a timeframe all her own.  i promise you that i will be waiting anxiously for your future babies to be born so i can document all their adorableness as well (hint, hint).  :)
