I have photographed this feature each year and at first it was 10 pages, last year about 20 pages and this year it was 60 pages - the entire magazine!!!
Here is a brief preview, but be sure to pick up an issue to see all of the awesom-ness yourself!

(10.14.09 @ 10:46 PM)PS - did you happen to...borrow...any Louboutins for me?? I mean, wait. No. (Secretly, yes.)
(10.14.09 @ 10:51 PM)the last photo in this, what lighting was used? just one strobe and looks like black panels to absorb light? is that it?
(10.21.09 @ 09:57 AM)OMG I can't for you to see the issue. And the COVER! We are all super excited for it to hit the streets. GREAT JOB!! You are seriously talented. Thanks for your creativity and skills, my dear.

Then, I said it. I'm a people pleaser. I love to make people happy. And I know that my images make my client's dreams come true. However, the artist within me needs something more. I need to remember to make myself happy with my images to keep things fresh and creative. I need to make myself happy before I can continue to make others happy.
Thus, I have decided to take my blog back! I will continue to post images from weddings and all our other shenanigans, but instead of posting images that I know my clients, magazine editors, etc will like, I am going to post the images that I personally LOVE!

I'm so stoked that you posted it! I think that the beginning of winter is a strange time for creative people. I know that I almost always fall into a funk this time of year and I think it's awesome that you're being proactive and taking control of it.
Also, BAM! You are HAWT, lady!
(10.12.09 @ 12:57 PM)Great message and I totally agree, us people pleaser's can lose our sight trying so hard for our clients.Amazing photo E..you got ups :)
(10.12.09 @ 01:11 PM)YEAH!!! So happy for you.
(10.12.09 @ 01:25 PM)First of all, you look hot in your boots and undies. Second of all, you are the BOMB.COM. Lauren just leaned over my shoulder and said "hi"
(10.12.09 @ 01:29 PM)hi Eliesa ! I just discovered your work by your blog, greetings for all, great stuff here ! I think you are right to post images YOU like... I think an artist depends a lot of the points of view of her/his clients, but more of HIS point of view and the ablility to judge it: if you don't like some pics or less than other ones, why and how could they be liked by others ?! And customers are choosing you for your capacity of dissociating good pics of bad ones. Sorry for any language faults, I hope you will understand what I want to tell you !
I'll be surely and oftenly back for the inspiration you gave me tonight !)
YOU GO GIRL!!! Everyone Loves your photos!! But this is why I Love YOU!! R xo
(10.12.09 @ 01:56 PM)This is truly amazing! I love that you posted this!
(10.12.09 @ 02:07 PM)I found your work recently through a group of local photo gals -- SO GOOD!! Just wanted to give you kudos for posting the above sentiment -- I couldn't agree more, although is sometimes hard to remember to think about ourselves as well! Keep up the awesome work!
(10.12.09 @ 04:25 PM)You are one of the bravest people I know. LOVE the picture. And I LOVE that you are going to be true to yourself.
(10.12.09 @ 05:07 PM)love this post !
it's your blog ~ you post the stuff you like... go , go, go!
love your style ...

You look so happy. Isn't it priceless that someone captured you having one of your "important moments"--just like you do for others (however there is usually cake involved. Pehaps, you'll include cake in your next Eliesa portrait session.) Lovely.
(10.12.09 @ 11:32 PM)Wowo! You are hot!!!!! Keep killing it E! i really want to be shooting with you everyday!
(10.13.09 @ 12:52 AM)I'm glad you decided to post this!!! I love it!
(10.13.09 @ 11:57 AM)i had a thought which i was going to post. then i read melissa's comment and it is exactly what i was going to say. and btw, i love how you implemented it already in your recent post. i love to see the moments in between, those that only rare people catch!
(10.13.09 @ 01:26 PM)DANG HOTTIE! love the pic, love the blog, love your boldness.
(10.16.09 @ 09:26 AM)bravo! warmly, -melanie-

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. I love the video too, capture studio is ridiculous.
(10.02.09 @ 01:33 PM)& I LOVE Crispin. It is my favorite!! What light contraption do you have on your camera in that pic? The discontinued lights?
(10.02.09 @ 01:35 PM)Loved the event, Loved seeing you and love the photos! You captured the night beautifully!
(10.02.09 @ 02:47 PM)About a month ago, I photographed Joynoelle's campaign for her new line.
You can all see the first collection we did here!
I absolutely LOVE Joy's clothes. She makes beautiful couture ready to wear and custom dresses + bridal wear and it is always stunning!
Speaking of...Joy's fall fashion show is happening on October 1st!
You have 1 WEEK to BUY YOUR TICKETS!!!!
The event is not one to be missed! In fact, there will be an extra special surprise being shown if you attend that I have been scheming for months!
A special thanks to:

Nice! What a great spread. And that is probably my most favorite shot of a pig ass that I have ever seen. :)
