Talaya - Grad 09

Ok, seriously??!?!? Talaya, you looked STUNNING!!!! You rocked this shoot... my very first grad shoot EVER!!! Thanks for not laughing at my list of places to visit... a fence, a rusty metal container, a gravel pit, a pile of branches, a winding dirt road, an old train car... you were awesome! HUGE thanks to my second shooter... you did amazing.. and to mom for your help as well!! Thanks ladies... we'll have to do it again.. SOON!! ;)

Newborn goodness....

Here's just a sneak peek at a newborn shoot from this week - she is gorgeous!!! Keep checking back for more pics soon!!! Congrats !!!

Kara & Nick

What a fun day!!! These two and their wedding party were a BLAST!! I laughed alllll day! Thanks to #2 and #3 for making my job easier - I can NEVER remember names! :) Hopefully the rest of this summer's wedding parties won't be offended by it! HA!

Kara & Nick, you have a wonderful little family and i wish you all the best... give sweet "I" a squeeze for me!

Here's a few album pages to start... ENJOY!

...first glance... i LOVE capturing these emotions - look how excited she is!!!! :)

I LOVE how sentimental Kara is... she incorporated something from every side of the family into her bouquet. Each broach was from a Grandmother or Great - Grandmother... how special is that?!??!

Weekend solitude!!!

A few weekends ago, Blayne and I had the opportunity to go to Pinewood Lodge for the ENTIRE weekend - sans kidos!! We had a wonderful time with some amazing friends.. what a blessed and refreshing time! I didn't take a lot of pics - wierd , I know! Anyway, here are a few pics (of the 8 that I took - what??!?!?) The first two are of my beautiful friend - inside and out -I am soooo blessed by her!! And the last one (the REALLY blurry one) is of our fox friend - well, we made friends with it after we fed it some steak!! It's blurry because I was a little frightened, couldn't hold the camera still and was too lazy to grab my flash... it's pretty easy to get into lazy mode on holidays... i know, no excuse....... :)

First Birthday Boy!!

What a sweet, sweet little boy!! He was hillarious!! It was a blast hanging out with you guys for the afternoon! Happy Birthday little K!

Maternity shoot at the lake...

What a gorgeous day!! We headed down to the lake for some maternity shots/ mom and son shots. This little boy was hillarious! What a sweet little man! He had a facination with boats - so thankfully some fishermen left their boat anchored to the shore so we could get really close and have a look! :) All the best to you in the next few weeks as you await the arrival of this little babe!
