1 year anniversary.

I so love this girl! Always smiling and full of constant encouragement. She is creative and the type of person you always should try and be around. I really met her over a year ago, when i did a mother/daughter session for her and have been in touch ever since! She has created her own blog, illustrating her talent at creativeness in scrapbooking and photography.

It has been a year since her and her husband exchanged vows and i was honored to capture this moment for them. Thank you so much for this opportunity, i am so looking forward to your next life event, whatever it may be, and can't wait to help you capture it! You are a definite inspiration.

wind and romance.

So, the forecast for this day called for showers and wind. We ended up doing the session earlier than planned, just in case. It turned out sunny and windy! Which ended up making for some fun, romantic images. I had so much fun and am looking forward to your wedding next year!

Ooo, I almost forgot about the engagement story...

After 7 years of being together, of course the marriage topic arose a few times. One night when the topic came up, he actually said to her, "Ok, will you marry me?", and even in the couple of times i have met this guy, i know he can be a joker. So she took it as a joke and said "No, cuz your not serious, you don't have a ring, come on." So that was that. Then a while later the same discussion came up, and he asked the same question. While she was ready to say the same thing, he leaned over, opened a drawer and pulled out the ring. The emotions flew and she actually couldn't even start calling anyone, cuz it was too late at night! In just meeting this couple a few times, this is a perfect engagement story to me, I can almost imagine him asking the question, and can almost even see her reaction! Thanks so much for sharing!

family.

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when i get to photograph people for the second or even third time! In the early summer of 2008, I photographed the whole family, grandma, grandpa, kids, spouses, grandkids, it was great and now, over a year later, i was asked to photograph a portion ;o) of the family again! This is the youngest grandchild and in a year, she has changed so much! Despite fall, and the chilly breeze, we had fun and ended up with a lot of pics! Enjoy!
