Starting today, January 8, 2012, the Meffords (and Nana...my mom) placed our tiny mansion out in nature to see what critters discover it. Will it last a day, a week, or a month? Which parts will be eaten first? (My guess is the awesome landscape job...gee, I wonder who did that part?) Will it get stolen by the punk teenagers who just moved down the street? Make your predictions below in the comment box, and I'll be updating my Facebook page daily to keep you in the loop.
(images were taken by my iPhone...don't judge)
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
Cause there was a time when all I did was wish,
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought a chance had passed
You go and SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST
Yeah. I wrote this for Gina + Jason to show them my love. Not really. It's a Vanessa Williams song, circa 1991, but as I was compiling the images for their slideshow and then ultimately this very blog post, I couldn't get those lyrics outa my head! Damn. It should have been the song I chose for their slideshow, but I had to go all "new" on it with M83's Reunion.
Anyhoo, I feel like I did save the best for last. I ended my wedding career on a COMPLETE high note! This wedding was full of personality and warmth, through and through, and Gina and Jason are tops, m' friends. TOPS. I love them dearly and feel that these images are like little gifts. Let's all help them unwrap them. Leave Gina + Jason loads of comments. We've gotta go out of the whole wedding photography thing with a BANG! Do it!
Don't forget to leave a comment for Gina + Jason below! MWAH!
KATE! you. are. phenomenol. This is my favorite wedding from you ever. I'm in love with every image. AMAZING, dear girl!
(01.16.12 @ 06:05 PM)Amazing pictures, we are so glad and thankful you did our wedding!!!
(01.09.12 @ 08:52 AM)Beautiful couple and AMAZING photos, as usual, Miss Cake. So glad I got you to shoot my wedding before you retired! I know Bobby and Mills are so excited to have you home! Love you!
Something about the post reminded me of the Seinfeld episode "Constanza leaves on a high note" episode. You can just throw your arms up in the air after this AWESOME wedding collection and say, "Alright, that's it for me!" Kate, I ALWAYS love your photos - no matter what the subject. They are like chocolate cake -- only without the calories!
(01.08.12 @ 08:52 PM)No matter what the profession, only the very best have the guts to walk away when they are at the top of their game. You have outdone yourself once again - absolutely stunning pics! I can't wait to follow your next adventure!
(01.06.12 @ 01:36 PM)i. die.
so proud to know you!
Wow Kate, you really outdid yourself! Wedding photography is going to miss you! Seriously amazing moments...you blow me away girl!
Super Awesome! Love the expressions and emotions in the captures.

Be honest and candid!
PS---I'm also thankful Millie has big blue eyes and freckles, loves fashion like it's going out of style (did you see what I did there?) and that she can imitate/mimic accents and voices better than anyone I know outside of Bobby. Now, show me yours!
Thankful that Jack's little cold wet nose nudges me everyday around 4:30 to tell me its time to step away from the computer and go out into the sunshine and play with him.
This presentation was the catalyst for something great, and I can't wait to share more about that soon! Hope you all had a fantastic break and that you're warm and cozy!
Hey sweetie! Your presentation was as fabulous as you are! So excited to see the amazing branding work you'll do!! xoxo
You're so cute!
(01.03.12 @ 09:20 PM)I absolutely LOVED your presentation Kate! You rocked it! And I learned some new things about myself (once again:)! Thank you!
(01.03.12 @ 05:50 PM)Kate, you ARE the ROCK STAR!!! I'm so so proud of you!
I got so much out of your talk, Kate. It was very thought-provoking. Thank you, thank you, thank you:)
(01.03.12 @ 04:55 PM)I am so, so bummed I missed this.... You had glowing reviews!
(01.03.12 @ 04:26 PM)so happy that you are sharing your genius with others! i love that about you. :)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us Kate. You rock!
(01.03.12 @ 04:10 PM)I LOVE what we came up with for this session. I use "came up with" loosely, as it really involved me running and chasing them a lot...but it's a solid set of frames that really shows what life is like as a Danuser: quick wit, preppy garb, sharp minds, and a sprinkling of sweat from running after Huddy and fielding questions from Ava. No wonder why Christine and Mark are so fit.
Leave these fools a comment, yo!
Kate! Your family work is so bloody brilliant. Love, love so many of these I would never be able to choose a faeourite. The little boy reaching towards his dads hands? Priceless. You've got some crazy talent goin on.
(03.10.12 @ 05:51 AM)The last image is my favorite!!! Too stinkin' talented Kate!

(this makes me happy)
(01.16.12 @ 06:03 PM)May they die a glorious death!!!
(01.08.12 @ 11:18 PM)uh, what if birds eat it and die? just sayin'
