 Welcome
Recently, I have been encouraged to "speak up" and "speak out".  I figured what better way to do this than by launching a blog to go with my new website layout?  For those of you who don't know me, I'm Rachael... the younger of the two sisters that co-own Cymbidium.  After a year of doing our accounting (and hating my life) I was pushed by a slightly older and wiser sister to pursue my dreams of being a photographer.  A lot of research, a few trips to the camera store, and an extended stay abroad later... CYMBIDIUM photography was born.  It's been a few years now but the excitement of showing the world how I see things returns every time I pick up the camera and LOOK THROUGH MY LENS.

Showered with Love...Emerson Rose, we can't wait to meet you!!!
01.12.10
Baby.jpgWhile all are anxiously awaiting little Miss Emerson Rose's arrival, I thought I'd share a few memories of the weekend event that was held in her honor!!!

First, there was a custom CYMBIDIUM invitation, enticing everyone to attend:

With the addressed envelopes ready to be mailed (handwritten by the fabulously talented Robyn... because I apparently missed out on the beautiful handwriting gene in our family).

Next, was my photo shoot with Mommy & Daddy-To-Be, Aimee and Bryan.

Followed by the Couple's shower: complete with fresh cut orchids from CYMBIDIUM, and food by the one and only... Chef Blythe Beck (yes... those are hot pink donut holes)!!!

Finally, each guest left with a gift bag and golden button (pictured below) to let the world know how they feel about Baby Emerson!

Love Emerson as much as we do?!!  Want to see more pictures?  CLICK HERE to view a slideshow of the weekend (includes my pictures from both the photo shoot and the couple's shower).

Tiffany & Brent

a.jpg"The customer is always right" is Brent's favorite saying!  Since technically he was Tiffany's customer, things between the two started slowly (although they had definitely caught each other's eye!).  Things picked up when she asked them on their first date and the two have been inseparable ever since.  Check out a few of my favorite picts from their big day!

Leah and Paul

Austin, Texas.  Need I say more?!  Shooting this wedding was an absolute blast!  Here are a few of my favorite shots of the super cute couple!

Then, there is my favorite part of every wedding (yes, it's girly and cliche, but I will say that I did love it even before the movie 27 Dresses made it popular)... THE GROOM'S FACE, when he sees her for the first time!!!
