Kera and Aaron Robinette - Congratulations!
My first wedding back in the saddle after having Connor was just the ticket to express some creativity. Kera was up for fun and the wedding party was a blast. One of the wedding party guys even stole my shoes. I was panicing thinking I was going to have a hard time getting home without my shoes. Here are a just a few to highlight some beautiful moments.

Celebrity appeal helps bag business for firm FASHION designer Gina Alexander got her break when celebrities, eager to see their own faces on their accessories, started buying the customized handbags she was selling from a mobile kiosk at a mall. With her husband Richard, Alexander started Gina Alexander Inc. out of their garage. Now they have a warehouse, showroom and office with 12 employees in Burbank. An adoptive parent, and an adoptee herself, 37-year-old Alexander donates 1 percent of the price of every bag to the agency that helped her adopt her daughter. "I went to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in downtown right after high school and I was also working for different designers. It was really hard for me to find a job because the fashion industry took a big hit five or six years ago. "In 2001, I saw Hollywood & Highland had these little kiosks selling things, and I said, 'I want to open a kiosk.' "You had to present your designs to the vice president of TrizecHahn (then owner of Hollywood & Highland), like an audition. I was designing handbags. But I had no money, so I couldn't even make actual samples. I just had sketches. I quit my job at Starbucks and went for it. I borrowed from friends and relatives, and worked 10 hours a day. We were called Shangri La-Dee-Da. The rent was $4,000 a month, not including what I paid my employees. "After about a year, I opened up another kiosk at the Grove and started doing the photo handbags. Now it's all we do. You send us a picture and we dye it directly on the fabric and sew it onto the bags by hand. People can order bags off our Web site, too. You choose the model you want, send us a photo, and we send the bag. "Tori Spelling came with all her pictures to make cosmetic bags, a bunch for her and her friends, with group pictures. Elizabeth Taylor had a bag made with a collage of pictures, with her and Rosie O'Donnell. Sharon Stone did like six of them. We made a bag for Oprah, too. Now we're in 42 stores. During a two-week promotion this month, Nordstrom's sold 4,000 of our bags. We're hiring people pretty much every day. "A portion of the price of every bag, 1 percent, is donated to Hope for Children, the agency that helped us get our baby girl. I do about one bag a month with a picture of my daughter. She's 19 months old."

Welcome Connor Quinn Reichert -my son
The most incredible thing has happened to our family. I gave birth to our baby Connor Reichert on March 11th at 12:01am. He was 6 lbs 15 ozs 20 1/2 inches.
Everyone told me how incredible it was to be a mother. Now I know with all my heart the joy all of you have experienced. Thank you to the mothers who brought their little ones in for me to photograph. I now have had the pleasure of photographing my own. Poor boy, it won't be easy being my little model. Taylor survived my grooling photoshoots over the years now Connor will be my next victim.
