This has been the winter for reconnecting! We photographed Michelle & Josh's wedding back in 2006 and bumped into them last year at our favorite Japanese restaurant when they told us their good news... Greyson was due to arrive in December. And here he is with his crazy blue eyes and little tiny parts!

We had the privilege of photographing Sarah and Jeff's wedding at St. Francis a few years ago. Little Adam has come into their lives now and we felt honored when they asked if we would be there for Adam's baptism. We wouldn't have missed it! It was wonderful to see your family and friends again and to be able to share this day with with you!

Lauren and Chris are getting married in Columbus but recently moved to Miami, so it only made sense to suggest an e-session at Vizcaya while we were in Florida. I'd "discovered" Vizcaya in a book on gardens a few years ago and knew I wanted to visit to do some shooting for myself, but I also hoped I'd get to photograph a portrait session there at some point. Well, the planets aligned and here we were!

While visiting my family in Florida for the holidays we had a fun e-session with Mary-Margaret and Brooks. They drove up from Ft. Lauderdale and we hung out in Melbourne for a bit before heading to the beach and stopping at Del's for ice cream. I feel so lucky to be able to see sunshine and green this time of year! It was so nice to meet you both... your happiness shines and we're looking forward to the wedding in April!

It's been a month since my trip to New Orleans and as so many of you have asked about it I'm finally posting a few images. Part of the delay (aside from work and the holidays!) has come because I've actually begun a new blog that's more about my personal and fine art work and have been pondering how to have it fit into the Aion Arts scheme of things. Can one have two blogs? Well, why not. At some point there will be links to both from the Aion Arts website, for now I'll just send you there via a link if you'd like to see the full post: http://claudiaretter.squarespace.com
