OUT OF TOWN!!!

Hello everyone! WEW... all I can say is 2010 has already had so many blessings and has found a way to occupy all of my time. Leaving little to no time for blogging and any extra photo work!

I am gone from the studio till May 1st as my twin sister had her baby this weekend!!! I am an auntie to an adorable little girl!

So... as I am typing I am watching little Brooklyn sleep!

I can't wait to share some photos with all of our family and friends who have been waiting anxiously to see Brooklyn!

In the mean time.... please enjoy the beautiful spring weather we have and always take some time to spend with your family! I know why I cry every time I leave my sister... cause it's so awesome to spend time with her and her growing family!

Take care and I look forward to some future blogs when time allows!

I'm off to give my niece some loving for all the family not here!

Karl & Joni's Engagement Photos...

I had to share a few of the hundreds of fun photos that I captured of Karl and Joni for their engagement session. 

We all drove out to Karl's families farm early evening for these photos. It was kind of a questionable day as the wind was blowing terribly. We all kept our spirits up and carried on with the plan! But when we arrived at the farm the wind was still pretty scary for Joni's beautiful long hair.  Instead of starting off with photos we just cooked up an amazing dinner and sat down to enjoy it together.

When we finished up with the last dishes the wind had went down so much more and we were on our way to beautifully lit photos.  BUT WAIT.... if it wasn't enough with the wind... then we had the mosquitos swarming all over us! Oh yes! They were every where. In some of the photos I will be editing them off of Karl and Joni's head as they were trying to hold still for the picture before they swatted away the mosquitos again. LOL  That was so much fun! Thanks for working through all the awesome conditions for the amazing images with the sun going down too!  You two are absolutely the cutest together!!!

These two are to be married next June at Sylvan Lake.  I really can say that they have what it takes and wish them so many exciting moments together.  Thanks for asking me to be your wedding photographer! I'm so excited to see you two exchange vows!!!

NEW Engagement!!!

OH! I couldn't forget to mention that my wonderful friend and room mate for a while longer is also engaged to be married next year!!! YIPPIE!!!  We were able to be a part of the engagement celebration while we were in California. Her wonderful fiance, who is from CA, invited us to surprise her on the night he told his family that he would no longer call her his "girlfriend!"  I wouldn't have missed that for the world! It was so great to see her and share in the celebration! So... congratulations to Tim and Renee and I look forward to hearing all the wedding plans as they unravel!!!  You two are truly meant to be. You have endured more struggles and distances than any couple I know. I am so happy for you both!  Hip Hip HURRAY!

It's a new day!

Happy Monday! Well I suppose Monday is about over, but that's ok! What a great weekend I had. I woke up Saturday morning took my friend to go get a massage. I also indulged myself and bought myself a body massage as well! (You know you have to take care of yourself!) Then we came back to my house watched the movie Because I said so and had a manicure and pedicure. If you haven't seen this movie you really should rent it. It is just a really cute movie about love, relationships and well what else do you need! It's funny too! After that we were off to the pool for some sun! It was such a relaxing day that in the evening when I had the bachelorette party for her we both were ready for bed at like 10pm. ha ha Can't wait for that wedding in September! I am actually a bridesmaid! First time and I'm so excited for this celebration. Sunday was a full day with the Christian Rock Concert... Hills Alive in town. If you have ever pondered coming to town or going out of your house for this... YOU SHOULD GO! It was great seeing so many friendly faces, friends, and spending time with some wonderful people. Casting Crowns are amazing in concert if you ever have the option to listen to them. I hope everyone else is keeping up with the summer flying by! Take care! Let me know if you have any fun summer stories!
