While I’m slaving away at the computer trying to get caught up from the holiday’s I thought I would give you guys something fun to look at! Here are a few of my favorite photo’s from 2008! I have been so blessed this year and can’t wait to see what 2009 has in store for me! I have loved every single one of my couples, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your day with me! Let me know which ones your favorite:)!
I can’t believe Christmas has already come and gone! It seems like it goes by faster and faster every year! I brought my camera along to the celebrations, of course. Here are a few snap shots of my two families! I did a quick very informal family photo for Adam’s side and well it was dark so we needed to stay inside for the kiddo’s and we had about 5 minutes before people needed to go. We fit in grandma’s kitchen but barely…Adam’s family is huge!
Here’s sweet Grandma Mattie showing off some of her loot!
Our sweet nephew Owen sporting a bow:)!
The newest addition so the family!
Little Madelyn!
Christmas evening we headed to my house, just a small get together my Aunt, Uncle, Cousin and Grandma were to sick to join us!
Sophie was spent after opening many presents and screaming “WOW”, probably a million times! This is how everyone should look after Christmas!
Poor Gidgette was feeling under the weather herself!
I hope you all were as blessed with as much love as I was! Be on the look out for some awesome shoots soon!
Even though Adam and I were married last Christmas our living situation prevented us from having our own Christmas tree. This year we decided to do something a little different. I didn’t want to do a fake green one b/c we definitely want a real one next year, so of course the next logical thing to do was get a white one. It’s so much fun! I must admit that it doesn’t photograph as well as it looks in person but what do you do?
If you want to hire me to decorate your tree next year let me know! 
Only kidding folks!
Rarely do I write personal things on my blog…so this is long overdue.
Over the past couple of months I have felt the Lord trying to move in my life. If you know me you know that it’s hard for me to just BE STILL and listen to what, how or where the Lord is trying to move in my life. Don’t get me wrong I don’t have a problem physically being still, I have a problem mentally being still.
I think since I was old enough for my mind to race it has. It’s like I’ve been running a mental marathon for most of my life. I’m sure many of you can relate but for those of you who can’t a typical mile goes something like this…”what if I’m not good enough, what if I fail, what if something happens to Adam, and on the worst days what if I’m dying.”
A few days ago I decided I need to give this to God. It’s no fun living your life in fear and self doubt, not to mention how hard it is to listen to the Lord when your mind just simply doesn’t rest. I know that He is trying to tell me somethig I just have not idea what it could be. So all this bing said these next few weeks this will be my focus.
It’s so hard for me to speak out, I mean I have avoided this blog like the plague and looked at this paper I wrote a good million times over the past 2 weeks avoiding this day. I feel like I’m going to be judged or looked down upon. I know I have friends out there who will see this and pray for me and with me so it’s important that I do this. It’s so much easier to put on a front than to show your true feelings.
No matter how hard life can be I always know that I have the Lord. He has helped me through the hardest of times and I know he will help me now. Adam and I have been blessed in so many ways of the past couple of years, more than I can count. We have a wonderful church with a wonderful pastor and his wife who truly care about us and our lives, amazing families and friends. I’ll keep you guys posted in my journey.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted photo’s of my niece Sophie. Here are a few I did the other day. I hope you enjoy them!
Meet Ethan! He is the adorable baby of me and Adam’s good friends Philip and April. If we have a little girl one day Ethan will be her husband, I’m sure of it. He was such a good sport in the freezing weather even with a runny nose! Here are a few of my faves!
Finally! I finally have gotten around to posting these amazing day after photo’s! If you were ever in doubt about doing a day after shoot I hope this will change your mind! The wonderful thing about day after shoots is that you aren’t worried about getting your dress dirty! I did these a few weeks after Trey and Melissa’s wedding. I am in love with all of these images! Enjoy!
I’m headed to the mountains tonight and will be back next Monday! I’m so excited for this much needed break! I’ll have limited access to email so please bear with me! If you are waiting for proofs (Dana and Brooke :)) They will be up the first of next week I promise!
I got called out! I didn’t put any of my brilliant thoughts on this post. I admit it, I was being lazy, in a rush, and having waaaaay to much to do before I leave Monday for a week! My logic was great I promise…”my writing is nothing to write home about, I have wonderful no brilliant thoughts in my head but they come out…well they don’t come out! So I figured nobody would miss them but I was wrong! I also realized that it may have seemed like I didn’t adore this couple, and that’s plain crazy!
Brooke and Jamie are a wonderful couple with an adorable family! It poured the night before but ended up being amazingly beautiful the day of the wedding. Poor Brooke was sick as a dog but she was a trooper and hung in there until 10! Ladies we should all hope we could look this beautiful when we are sick! I would have looked like I had crawled out of bed if I had, had the morning she had! Enjoy some photo’s from there sweet and very emotional day!
I had the pleasure of shooting the lovely Dana and Michael’s wedding a couple of weeks ago! I went to high school with Dana, she graduated before I did and we didn’t really know each other. I wish we had of been friends all those years though b/c she is such a wonderful and sweet person. Her and Michael both are amazing people! Thank goodness they broke the cardinal rule of not dating co-workers! I had a blast at their wedding and am so thankful I was able to share that day with them!
These are the ornaments Michael used to propose to Dana. I thought it was fun to include their bands:)!
I can’t wait to post these photo’s! I did a day after with my best friend Melissa and her husband Trey and a kinda trash the dress with Melissa! Here is one just to give you a taste of whats to come!
