{ One year-old K }

October 26, 2008 · { children }

Three years ago I shot Chad and Renee’s wedding…and this week I had the opportunity to shoot a session of their sweet baby girl, K, who recently turned a year.  She is on of the cutest little blond hair, blue-eyed girl I’ve ever seen.  See if you agree.  We had a great day…perfect day, actually…a nice fall breeze and pleasant temps.  Probably one of the last beautiful days in a long time as tonight our temperatures are getting down into the 20’s!  (eek!) Thank you, Chad and Renee.  Love you guys!

I have to be quick quick quick…lots of sessions to proof and orders to place and things to do before my surgery on Thursday… 

Meet Bridget & Matt…we had a great time…they were so cute and fun and it turned out that Matt went to the same high school I did, only a few years behind. One neat thing about the business I’m in…you learn that you know (or know of) a lot of the people you shoot!  Thanks again, guys!!!!! 

(Nothing like being short and sweet, eh?!)

October 20, 2008 · { wedding }

Being in NC on vacation for a whole week and not working on my pictures like I’d hoped
while gone, I have really slacked in my work!  I finally completed these wedding photos last night from Sept 27th.  There are about 700
which went online last night at Pictage.  She’s going to be overwhelmed but I
think she’s going to be quite happy!  Being I was in the wedding as the
only bridesmaid, it was quite a challenge shooting the pictures while
attending to Heather in every way possible.  (First time at that!)
Somehow I got it done, but I can’t not give my friend, Vickie, a whole
bunch of the credit.  She shot the ceremony when I obviously could not,
the big group picture, ones of Heather and I alone and then some at the
reception as well.  She was my lifesaver!!  Thank you, Vickie!! 

So here’s a quick look into our day.  We started at 8:00 with
decorating, then onto the salon, then onto the ceremony where we got
dressed (in which I didn’t get very many shots because I was getting
dressed, too!), then you know how the rest goes.  It was a really
beautiful wonderful day.  Thank you, Heather, for having me as two such
very important people in your day.  Love you lots!!

Carved pumpkins sat all over.  This one sat at the head table in front of the bride and groom all illuminated.  Was just so beautiful!

At the salon.  I love this shot because Kim (our hairdresser/friend)
Heather and myself are all bokeh-fied in the mirror.  It’s a fun shot.

Heather shot this one of moi!

Heather putting on her jewelry where we got ready.

Heather and her 2nd favorite guy in the world, Syd.  (Stumpy Yellow Dog)

Heather and myself.

Heather and Lee’s rings on a handmade knitted pillow that a friend of Heather’s made.  It was just beautiful.

Heather and my bouquets.  I truly had never seen such beautiful bouquets and I’ve seen a bunch!  (Get it, "bunch"? ha!)

These ceremony pictures we reinnacted later.

The rest tomorrow!  I have too many to share!

I had the wonderful opportunity to take photos of Mya when she was a newborn.  Now a year later, I get to shoot her again, just this time running and walking with the most gorgeous sparkly blue eyes.  She is turning into such a sweet little girl.  I have to make this short because my family and I are off for North Carolina to visit some very good friends of ours before they leave for Japan for 3 years.  But one thing on my to-do list was to get these up!  Thanks again, Melis and Brian, for asking me to shoot your beautiful family once again.  xo
