Rain, Sleet, Hail, and Snow!

Well I did it... I shot a wedding!
And yes there was rain, there was hail, and there was...well you get the idea!
{we shot this shindig on Thanksgiving weekend 2010... the weekend of the storm that will go down in history!}
Is that a little dramatic? Umm maybe.
We shot outside for a total of 2.4 seconds.
As the risk of freezing our hind parts was very high.
But all in all I think we got some shots we can both be happy about!

But this has stressed me out like no other shoot has.
There is a lot of pressure shooting a wedding, so I've decided I will do one a year!
So if you are getting married in 2011 and you want me to shot your wedding.
I have one spot open, one and only one.
Otherwise I will die from a stress overdose {and I'm sure that is a totally real cause of death!}

Oh and by the way I have received a lot of phone calls {OK maybe not a lot} of people saying

"I was looking at your blog the other day and..."

So all you people looking at my blog please feel free to leave a comment letting me know you stopped by.

I prefer nice comments, I can handle constructive criticism, but mean or "annonoymous" comments, I am really not a fan.

{sorry haters}

So come on people show me some comment love!

Don't be shy!

The time has come.....

Sydni, If you are reading this then you know we have to finish these!

Let's go do a day and shoot in the snow

I'll make you look even more fabulous than you already do!

Ghost Town Engagement

I have been holding onto this session for 6 weeks!
I wanted her to get her announcements out first.
So the with the announcement delivered I thought I'd post these.
They were so fun to take and so fun to edit!

Five!

Yep she is 5!

She amazes me everyday!

Her confidence is something I admire.

I smile to myself at how stubborn she is....because I know where she got it.

Her love for all things girlie I adore.

Simply put....indescribably, undeniably, unequivocally

I love her!

Just a few shots of her "Birthday Table"

we did for her party.

To me blue and pink just sing

"Little Girl"

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

BEWARE!

"E" Family

I have been taking pictures of this family way before
I was able to put my name in the same sentence with the word "photographer."
Thank You for sticking with me "E" Family!
I still want to be photographer when I grow up!

Mad Love for this boy! He is about as cute as they come!

October.....love

My Words

I looked for a quote, someone elses words to explain her?
Someone else ?
Someone else doesn't know how she smells.
Someone else doesn't know how she feels
Someone else dosen't sneek into her room just to hear her breath.
She is all.
She is everything.
