So I've been sitting here on the couch for, I don't know, maybe 30 minutes, with the laptop on my lap and me...falling asleep. I'm so tired. Today was one of those days that I was just up to ears in everything. Then, I got a fabulous peach pie (my fav!) AND had an awesome engagement session. All better. =) Here's just a little sneak peek:

We're having one of those weeks! Three weddings in 8 days... seems like coffee and encouraging words are the only fuel we've got going right now.
You're doing good work though, even if you're tired... just don't forget to let yourself crash sometime!

Brace yourself for a long post:

I want to thank all of you who have booked sessions and weddings and made this year a full one! We are completely, 100% booked for the rest of 2009! We love to do pictures for people and it's hard to say we can't do any more this year but unfortunately there's just not enough hours in the day and we have met our limit.Thanks again! We've had a blast so far and are looking forward to the rest of '09. If you're interested in getting pictures done in 2010...let us know! =) There's plenty of dates to choose from.


What a great (and exhausting) weekend! I left straight from work Friday and headed down to Stillwater to visit my old OSU roomies who just happen to be two of my most favorite people. =) We did a little shopping, ate at Goldie's (we LOVE that place - the cheese fries are delicious as are the burgers), and headed to (my personal favorite) the BARN for a nice big Dr. Pepper. Next, we drove around town checking out all the newness. I'm thinking I should have traveled Europe or something for a few years THEN went to college. There's so much more to do there now! We ended up on Library Lawn where I took the following pictures. We watched some guys play Cricket and chatted. I miss OSU and I miss these girls:




After our campus visit we headed back and played old board games the rest of the night. We know how to party now. =) It was a blast. I love hanging out with them - they were my family away from home.


Saturday, I came back and was surprised when our friends Matt and Kelly stopped by to visit! It was great to see them too! We hung out a while and ate at Grinder Man. =) It would have been fabulous if Dac hadn't picked out a day (or two) old cookie for us to eat. I knew we should have went with the M&M! That night, we photographed the 30th anniversary party for the parents of this amazing family! We seriously LOVE this family. You can definitely expect more on this once the pictures are ready to post.


Later that night, we made a fun trip to the ER. Everything's fine. My leg has been bothering me pretty bad off and on for a couple weeks. Well after being on it so much that night, it was really bothering me. I knew because of some medicines I'm on and because of a surgery a while back that I had a few risk factors for a blood clot and I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something that serious. So after 3 hours in the ER, several blood tests and an ultrasound of my leg I got a clean bill of health and a wrap for tendonitis! =) It seems to be getting a little better already (maybe it's the 800mg Advil) so I'm happy for that. With all the session we have coming up, I can't be having a bum leg. It's just not acceptable. Yesterday, we went to my parents' house for a very tasty supper and a lot of work ridding my old bedroom and their garage of all my old stuff! It was nice to hang out with them but I could have done without the working part. =) Plus, there were wasps attacking me in the garage. You know I hate that.


OK, I'll quit rambling now. Stay tuned for some "real" photos coming soon!

You should submit them to your college! A couple of those pictures would look great on their website!

Good Moooooooorrrrrrrning! =) It's Thursday, which for us = Wii Night. So I'm excited about that.  Tomorrow, I'm headed to visit my old college roomies in Stillwater (and of course stopping for some Dr. Pepper action at the Barn....oh how I miss that place) and then Saturday, we have a super fun session. More on that later. For now, I want to share with you a photo from my cousin Amelia's wedding in Texas this past weekend. We had a great time and of course the wedding was beautiful and the reception was a blast. I'll tell you more about it later. I love how this one turned out. We think it'd make a gorgeous canvas.


More of this wedding and Ryan+Cassandra's wedding to come!

In other news, you guys made our whole day yesterday when you helped us book 11 sessions in less than a day! You're all so awesome. We are pumped for our family mini session extravaganza. We have a nice line-up of wonderful friends and clients and even a couple first-timers who we're excited to meet! If you booked one of the sessions, I'll be sending you an e-mail with more information/details as it gets closer to October.

Just a reminder, if you have told me you want to book a session of any kind for this Fall, please confirm a date asap. We have only a couple openings left and will be closing down the 2009 schedule in a day or two.

Have a great day!!

UPDATE: WOW-WOW-WOW!! You guys ROCK! We are all booked up!! Thanks!! PS - Have I mentioned I love our clients?!

I know, I know...you don't want to hear it. I'm not sure I'm ready for it either, but the truth is, the holidays are just around the corner! Now is the time to be thinking about doing family portrait sessions for those holiday cards and gifts. Since we have a full schedule, we are offering a day packed full of mini family sessions so more people can have the opportunity to get great pictures!! This is the first time we've attempted something like this and we're excited about it! We have 11 slots open on October 17 - first come first serve. There's more information below:


Get excited - it's going to be FUN!

Hey! So, it's 10:34 p.m. and it's kinda, no, let's get real, it IS past my bedtime. I'm awake but I'm tired. Boy howdy am I tired. I just had to get a post on tonight because this weekend will be crazy busy with a wedding so this might be my last chance before... who even knows when. We're shooting my cousin Amelia's wedding this weekend and we shot my cousin Cassandra's wedding last weekend. The three of us were all born in June within just a few days of each other. So we're pretty cool. =)

Anyway, I wanted to share a sneak peak from their wedding. I loved the colors (you might be thinking "but it's pink and you don't like pink"...BUT it was bright pink...not pretty pretty princess pink...just to clarify) and they had a lot of fabulous details. More on those later! Here's the picture:



Hope you two are enjoying that honeymoon! =) Hope the rest of you enjoy your weekend.
