Imagine drifting to sleep and waking in the morning to the mesmerizing sound of waves crashing against the earth, imagine opening the glass-less windows to a front row view of lush mountains and deep blue water, imagine walking 30 seconds to the beach and when you arrive everyone you love is there. Imagine that they have all gathered in this magical place to celebrate you and the love of your life and the beautiful journey you are promising to take with eachother. Imagine that you know longer have to imagine. Chris & Laura's wedding was what everyone who ever says they want a beach wedding must be envisioning, not that I think I ever could've dreamed up something this beautiful. It was three days of love, laughter, fiesta's, breath taking beaches, waterfalls, family, friends, rockin' music and of course Chris & Laura's stunning beach wedding. I am so honored

We are beyond excited to celebrate the beautiful union between Chris & Laura this coming Saturday in Yelapa, Mexico! Of course it's almost 1 am and I'm still up and have at least another hour's worth of work todo, but it's all worth it because tomorrow morning Mike and are going to board a Virgin plane and by 5pm we should be enjoying the view from our hotel. Then Thursday we will join the posse and spend the next five days loving life, with amazing friends and a fabulous beach wedding!!! Stay tuned!! Check this out: xo
These two are in love. There is no better way to sum it up. Pure, steamy, passionate, honest love. They inspire people around them to be in love and if they already are, then they inspire them to be in love more. She brings out the youthful, goofy, wild-child in him and he is her perfect balance . They just get each other and they have chosen the perfect place to celebrate their amazing love, Yelapa, Mexico. I am beyond ecstatic to be a part of their celebration when we join them, their family and their closest friends for an intimate ceremony on the beach. There are no cars in Yelapa and the only way to get there from Puerto Vallarta is via boat taxi. While brainstorming wedding ideas with Justine and Laura last week, she showed us the accommodations, grass roof huts on the beach. For real?!? We are jumping

Well, it has been a fabulously amazing ride and I can't wait to see how 2012 treats me! Mike and I finally found an apartment (and if you know how long we've been looking you know how exciting this is) So not only do I get to snuggle up next to my man whenever I want now, but we are also creating a space for my business to grow. I'm so excited I can't even stand it! So hold on tight because Lady J Graphic Designs and Chloe Jackman Photography are about to take the world by storm!!! I have always wanted to design an album at the end of each year to help me feel complete with my accomplishments from the last 12 months, to motivate for the next 12 and to help me remember how far I've come when I look back. Since 90% of my free time has
On my way to Ryan & Liliana's wedding in Playa Del Carmen, I was lucky enough to have a 12 hour layover in Miami where I got to have dinner, drinks and a sleep over with one my dearest friends Magda and this was the view from her apartment....RIDICULOUS!!!! Thanks Maggs! XO!
Justine and I had the honor of shooting Lili & RyRy's intimate Playa Del Carmen wedding. WOW! Only their family an closest friends were there enjoying a four day event, rather than just one evening. We laid on the beach, stayed up late drinking and ate our faces off. Did I mention we stayed at the the Blue Bay Resort, an ALL inclusive hotel! So much tequila ;) I always start a blog with the intention of only posting a select few favorites, but usually I end up posting way more and their wedding was no different. Below is the story of Lili & Ryry's intimate, breathtaking and wild wedding! I walked into their hotel room and this was the first thing I saw, it brought tears to my eyes and simultaneously made me laugh out load. Lili said "RyRy you do my hair the best!!" All of Lili's gorgeous and sassy girlfriends!

Exploring the Legion of Honor with Baby Earl and his awesome parents, Pha Pha and Darrin!!!
Nov 20, 2011 View / Add CommentsI had the honor of doing a family portrait session with Pha Pha, Darrin and their beautiful baby boy Earl! These are the kind of parents I love, they truly believe in letting their baby explore, get dirty and be exactly what he is...A little boy!!!! He loved the cement and the grass and the fountain and all the people passing passing by who loved him but most of all you can tell this a sweet family who loves each other! Earl never fussed, cried or threw a tantrum, he just kept exploring and we just kept enjoying the world through his eyes! I first met Darrin at the Hot Einstein photo shoot where it became very clear that he is a sweet and gentle man and that only became more apparent when I saw him with his wife and lil' schmoo! PhaPha sparkles with kind and positive energy and has
So anyone who knows me personally, knows that me and my boo have been apartment hunting for what seems like forever! Lucky for us Mike found the perfect place the other day on our walk in the Presidio!!! Check it out!! :)
