Thanks to everyone who came to hear us share about Storytelling at the Digital Wedding Forum Convention in Tampa. We had a great time meeting all of you! Your questions were fantastic and incisive. It's always a pleasure speaking to groups of photographers who are eager to learn and share ideas with one another.

A special thanks to Charlie Pappas for photographing during the presentation! Charlie is a talented photographer from Atlanta who we've finally gotten to know after years of living in the same city!

One night while in Playa del Carmen, we went to a thumpin' club right on the beachfront called the Blue Parrot. After the stunning fire show I stumbled over to another section of the club and there was this woman doing trapeze acts up in the rafters swinging around on some fabric. Shot a couple of photos and went back to dancing.

Oh, and I modified this blog so that we can now put bigger photos on here. Yay!

I decided Andrew needed some stress relief this holiday season, so I gave him a helicopter for Christmas! It's so much fun, but you can see that we're still learning to how fly smoothly. It's a tough little chopper though – it's already had many crash landings and has survived unscathed! Check it out:

I've always felt a connection to family traditions and celebrations. So, when I started planning our holiday party, I wanted to establish a new tradition that we could enjoy for many years. With help from Katie and Chris Torres, Andrew and I hosted a Solstice Party at our loft. Since the Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year, we decided it would be fun to enjoy the longest night with themes of light and fellowship. We decorated the loft with 50 hanging votive candles and asked each guest to bring an individual candle to symbolize the light they bring into our lives. The table was covered in white and silver, which reflected the light throughout the room. It was a beautiful evening and we were surrounded by wonderful friends! Of course, Katie and I are already looking forward to creating the menu for next year's Solstice Party. Cooking for 16 people is an adventure!













Like I said, cooking for 16 people can be an adventure — especially when the bread catches on fire and takes the whole "light" theme a bit too far! Thankfully we had lots of photographers around to take pictures, and a fire extinguisher on hand.
