It is wedding season, no doubt. I’m not even a full-blown wedding photographer, and, I have 8 weddings on the books (that I am either doing myself or second-shooting for) - so far.

I assisted at a wedding on Saturday - it was a great because it set my mood for wedding season and gave me a little practice run through for Nissi’s big day this weekend (YAY NISSI!!). Its also nice because I can keep a few select images to play around with, like this one. Take a look for a few more images.

So Much To Blog About! (Part 2)

May/101

Wow! My busyness hasn’t really stopped since I got home, but that’s ok, because its all been goood stuff! (well, expect for one thing - someone backed into my car at work and left me a pretty nice dent/scratch, but other than that….).

First, I finished the book, Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen. It was very cool: interesting & unique. There are a few parts that were a little risque, but other than that - thumbs up! I have just started the most wonderful book - Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See. Its about a life-long friendship that starts between two Chinese girls during their foot-binding years. I’m loving it so far.

Anthony & Cynthia’s pics are finished - you can check them out here.

My dear ‘ol friend, Carrie, had me do some pics of her precious Olivia while I was in Springfield. She turns one on Sunday and she is sooo cute. More photos here.

Yesterday, I got to meet Emma Grace, Katie & Micheal’s baby. She is very sweet! So little at just 3 days old! I also booked a wedding in Colorado & its coordinating reception that will be right outside of LA in July! Yay! How fun! Weddings, babies, weddings, babies!

Now…if I could just get to the grocery store….

So Much To Blog About! (Part 1)

May/100

I just had the busiest 4 days of my life since my wedding weekend. It was a non-stop, little sleep, working like a dog weekend. But it was so worth it. I had the best time celebrating so many big life moments. Most of my weekend was documented in photos, so I’m going to try to post as much as possible (and probably send you to my photoblog a couple of times).

Friday was spent at Evangel University’s graduation. Congrats to my baby brother, Andrew, who graduated from college! He makes Anthony & I look so small in this picture!

After graduation lunch, Anthony & Cynthia & I headed out to do an engagement shoot. The images aren’t completely ready yet, but here’s one sneak peak. I’ll post another link later.

On Saturday, we hosted a bridal shower for Cynthia. All the planning and hard work paid off - it turned out beautifully. Lyndsey, Becca & Cheri were amazing! They helped my mom and I pull it all together. I am lucky to have such great friends who go the extra mile for me and my family. You can see more images of the shower here.

Later that day, I shot a few images for my dad. He needed a picture for a magazine article, so I was happy to oblige. You can see a few more pics of ‘ol Tommy here.

I have more to come from my trip: Mother’s Day, Anthony & Cynthia, and Carrie’s Olivia. PLUS all the things that happened in Alabama while I was gone, Katie had a baby girl and Sonya found out she is having a boy! Seriously - this weekend was crazy!

Zeda Girl

Apr/100

It is definitely a Monday for me. I am tired. And kind of cranky. But, hey, at least I can admit it, right? I’m not really sure why I am so exhausted and grumpy - I had a great weekend, most of which was spent sitting on the beach and hanging out with girlfriends. PLUS, I did get to see my Zeda girl - so maybe, posting a pic of her smiling face will help my bad mood disappear.
