I just love this picture of baby A so much that I had to share it. Everytime I look at it, I smile. :)

Aren't they adorable?

2008-09-04T11:24:00.002-05:00

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing the most adorable kids. I just wanted to share a few of the results. I hope you enjoy them. :)

The Other Wedding

2008-08-26T23:19:00.008-05:00

So here is the second wedding I shot this summer. The bride and groom were so much fun, and the entire family just seemed to accept me into fold. Jodie went with me to help and she was amazing! I couldn't have done it without her. This was an early July outdoor wedding and it was HOT! The venue had buildings with electricity, but no air conditioning. We survived...barely. Thankfully, it began to cool off and a nice breeze picked up. Little did we know that some amazingly beautiful clouds were going to blow in and then it came a downpour for about 45 minutes. So the wedding started a little late...nobody cared, and that was awesome! It was so great being able to work for such a laid back, friendly couple. Enjoy the photos!

Busy Summer

2008-08-26T11:22:00.006-05:00

Well, it has definitely been a very busy summer! Between the photo shoots, Nick's wedding, and work, I have barely had time to eat let alone post on this blog. Eh, who am I kidding, I ALWAYS make time to eat. :)
Anyway, I just wanted to share a few of the pics that I took over the summer.
I will start with a small wedding I shot in April. Please keep in mind that this was my first wedding, and thankfully it was for my best friend! Congrats to Kerri and Larry!

Pandora Radio

2008-08-26T10:59:00.002-05:00

My friend Darlene totally got me hooked on this site called Pandora Radio . It is a cool place that lets you put in the name of a favorite artist or song title, and then puts together a playlist of similar music. You can create multiple radio "stations" of your favorite music! I love it! It is great background music for when I am working at work, home, or while I am editing pics on the laptop. You have to sign up for an account, but it's free, and they don't ask for a ton of information. Once you sign up, it saves your stations so you can access them every time you log in. PANDORA RADIO ROCKS!!! Check it out...

I promise...

Here they are...my very first fireworks photos. I am actually quite pleased with the results. Please ignore the silly power lines right in the middle. These pics are SOOC, which stands for Straight Out Of Camera. Enjoy!

Long time, no blog :)

I am super excited about the crop on Saturday! I hope lots of people are able to attend. I miss all of my scrapbook buddies! So I wanted to put something together and I came up with this card kit. You will get 8 cards with envelopes and a package of the stamps I used on several of the cards all for only $10! I only have enough supplies for 7 kits so if you want one let me know! I hope to see you all on Saturday!!!

Just a few...

2008-03-20T22:59:00.000-05:00

These are just a few engagement pictures I took for my friends Kerri and Larry. We took them in my living room and only spent about 30 minutes. They were so fun to work with and I can't wait to spend more time on them and their family!

A few more pictures...

Work = BUSY
DMH Audit = STRESS
Stress = Hair Loss and Lack of Sleep (Luckily, I still have my hair. Then again, it is only Day 2)
Did I mention that my office is on a group diet? yeehaw...

One more thing...

I am listening to a great CD made by my friend Jason. He wrote these amazing songs and it gives me goosebumps to know that this guy is a friend of mine. How awesome is that! And if you are reading this Jason, just know that you can't run from the silly girlish ways of us Med. Records girls and I can gush about your musical talent if I want to! :)

Well...

2007-11-06T11:54:00.000-06:00

I am sure the two people who read this have really missed my poetic posts. LOL!
I am glad it is Tuesday, but I will be even happier when it is Friday.
Small Town Girls retreat is this Saturday and I am so excited!!! I haven't checked the sign up list yet, but I do know that I had at least 6 signed up for my card class. YAY! These cards make such a great gift for someone who is hard to buy for. I made sets (different designs of course) last year for my grandmothers and they loved them. I even received thank you cards from them using the cards I had made. Kinda cool...
So anyway, if you haven't signed up yet, be sure to go in to Stamps & Scrapbooks or call Rona and SIGN UP! We will have a blast, and if you know me, then you know we will be laughing and goofing off A LOT! Don't forget to sign up for extra kits.
Holla!!!

Happy Halloween!

2007-10-31T10:38:00.000-05:00

Never in my life, have I felt so unprepared for a holiday. I have not put up any of my Halloween decorations at home nor have I bought any candy for the kids tonight. So FYI, if you are going to be trick or treating on Greensferry, don't come by my house. :) I do not have anything to give you...sorry. Unfortunately, some people go up to houses even when the porch light is OFF.
No porch light = no candy...Get it?
I am looking forward to an evening of scary TV and pumpkin gooey butter cake with french vanilla cool whip on top. I might even try to get some scrapbooking done. I am still working on Christmas gifts and the more I get done, then less I have to do Friday night. That means I will have time to do stuff for me! *i have my selfish moments* :)

Here are some of the pics that were taken of Nick and Whitney on Saturday. They were taken at Bollinger Mill and it was a beautiful day. We had a LOT of fun. Have I mentioned that Nick is a dork? Oh well, it runs in the family... Enjoy the photos!

What a Wild Weekend

2007-10-29T14:06:00.000-05:00

I have certainly been busy busy busy...Saturday morning I did a shoot for a family that I work with. It was a lot of fun and their little Emma is adorable! Saturday afternoon I photographed my brother and Whit for their engagement photos. I went to bed late Saturday night...or should I say early Sunday morning...because I stayed up editing and working with Nick and Whit's pics. They turned out pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. I also tried putting together a little slide show with some music to show at their engagement party which was on Sunday. It didn't turn out so great, but it was my first time, and it was really late at night, or early in the morning, however you want to take it.
The party was a lot of fun and it was great meeting Whit's family. They are really nice and I enjoyed talking with them. Mom outdid herself with the food and decorations. Everything looked beautiful and the soups were delicious. It seemed like everyone enjoyed themselves. I am happy that I got to see Mrs. Nickell and my Grandma. I haven't seen them in a long time and I miss spending time with them. I look forward to the wedding next year. It should be an interesting and entertaining event!
Guess I should get back to work. I will post pictures from Saturday tomorrow...if I can remember to bring some with me.
