Hey clients, friends and dear appreciated followers of

our work here at the C10 studio! What’s this you’re

sending me you ask? Well it’s not your Momma’s

newsletter that’s for sure!

We know that with everything online all the time you

have access to so much visual stimulation! Keeping

track of it all can be a daunting task! Putting it out

there for people can be a full time job as well, as we

all here at the studio are finding... so I thought, what

better way than to have an online e-zine beautifully

designed by our client and studio BFF Nichole Michel

of Coral Pheasant! Here, many of our favorite shoots

can be seen as a finished product, all design-y and

pretty, just how we like ‘em!

When I shoot, I try to keep the finished product

in mind whether it’s your wedding album, the

inspirational wedding book I am currently shooting

for or a magazine editorial. How it all fits together

visually helps tell the story of whatever I am shooting,

and I love it!

I invite you to grab a nice hot beverage, sit back and

enjoy catching up with us!

All feedback is appreciated and I'd love to hear from

you. Drop me a line at [email protected]!

TenC PHOTO TIP

Your parent dances are a time for you to take

a moment and just be with your Mom and Dad during

your wedding. Some advice that I wish I could

impart for your parent dances – stop talking

and watch! Or if someone approaches you, have

them enjoy the dance with you and watch on.

Don’t let anyone interrupt your pausing to take

in the sweet and emotional moment your spouse

is having with their parent.

Sage and Andrew had a romantic estate wedding at

the Elm Court Estate in the quaint town of Lenox,

Massachusetts. The flowers were so dreamy and

the epitome of romantic! Sage’s dress from the

Plumed Serpent was flowy and soft, paired with

her intense fuschia Kate Spade shoes and made this

photographer soooooo happy. Sage and Andrew

had an emotional first look and the rain stopped

just in time for the ceremony to be outside, just

as they both dreamed!

NIKKI & ROBnew orleans

Heading to New Orleans for a destination wedding on the

streets of the French Quarter? Yes please! Despite the rain,

Nikki and Rob had a BLAST bopping around the Quarter

with me ducking in alleys to stay dry while having fun the

whole time. The bride had her totally gorgeous succulent

bouquets done by Datura: A Modern Garden flown down

all the way from Connecticut! We ended the night with

Nikki and Rob snuggled at the foot of the stunning foun-

tain covered in candles... hands down some of my favorite

pictures I have ever taken!

Our year of wedding planning unexpectedly

transformed into a period of meaningful

and memorable time spent with one anoth-

er and among family and friends. Take time

during your wedding to remind yourself of

these special moments and how all that

love is swirling around one room.

One of my favorite magazines to shoot editorials for has got

to be Bliss Celebrations Magazine. It is always such a trusting

collaboration of some of the most creative people in the

industry. On this shoot I worked hand in hand with the art

director and publisher of Bliss to create the perfect cover photo

for the magazine. It was almost like solving a visual puzzle and

I loved every minute of it! Once the cover was secured they

let me have complete creative control of the inside editorial-

which is the highest form of creative trust and I just shot from

my heart! I was incredibly lucky to work with the following

vendors on this shoot – all of whom consistently bring their

A-game to each and every shoot we collaborate on together!

It was hard enough picking sixty images to put into our

wedding album but picking my top two favorite pictures

from the best day of my life was nearly impossible.

My first pick is the one of Mr. K twirling me around mid

smooch in the middle of Pratt Street with a car headed

in our direction. While our guests were enjoying a mix of

some of our favorite songs Carla snuck us away to grab

some air and time to ourselves near the end of what

had been an incredible day. I think that’s a big part of

what draws me to this picture.

The picture itself looks like it should be in a movie and

its hard to believe that’s us. The lighting is awesome

and the background of the brick road, streetlights and

cars make for a unique picture that could only be ours.

My second pick captures an impromptu dance party in the middle

of dinner. I was walking the tables greeting some of our guests

when our song came on. I yelled to my Dad to meet me on

the dance floor and slowly my siblings joined us. Unfortunately

for our guests not only did they have to watch us play the air

guitar, saxophone and various other invisible instruments but

we sang too and at the top of our lungs. My Dad has played this

song for me in the car since I was a little girl and my siblings

and I know every word, beat and pause to this song. The song

is “Desert Skies” by Marshall Tucker and it sums up a whole lot

for the Stafford family. This picture captures the absolute joy of

a family who didn’t think we all might be able to enjoy the day

together. I don’t think I ever remember seeing us all so happy.

This June my family and I had the thrill of going to Kauai for the

first time. It was a dream come true on so many levels.

We stayed on the south west side of the island in Waimea. It was non-touristy and had some real local

flavor, exactly what we were looking for! The kids and I enjoyed adventuring around the island and exploring new

beaches, many of which were hard to find so actually getting there was part of the excitement! We lived each day

out of the Ultimate Kauai Guidebook – it never steered us wrong in the things it suggested for us to do. If you

ever plan a trip to Kauai this book is a MUST HAVE!

Another favorite pastime was trying

to find the best shave ice on island.

Believe me when I tell you it was a

very fun project! A lot of hard work,

but I took one for the team in the

effort to find it. I will let you discover

which is your favorite when you go,

since they are all different.

One of the best beaches we went to was Poi’pu on the

south shore. It is awesome for families and was some of

the best snorkeling I have ever done. The beach has a

cool layout where two beaches meet in the middle then

leads out to an awesome lava pool area perfect for kids

to explore. Hands down the best vacation we have been

on; I can’t recommend Kauai enough!
