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 30^th 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!

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.

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:

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:

Hey guys! A couple weeks ago we had that fabulous (as always) opportunity to meet up with Amber and Ryan again. We photographed their wedding back in May and were supposed to have done their engagement session in April. Well, that day came around and it was windier than heck-fire =) out there. If you don't know how windy that is...it's WINDY. So we all decided it'd be best to postpone. Over three months later, here we are, and they finally have some 'engagement' pictures. Yeah!

These two are so fun to be with and photograph because they are just so dang nice and naturally in love with each other - so much so -  it just radiates from them (and makes for great pictures too).  I love how we've met some of the coolest people through photography. Anyway, Ryan and Amber picked their location and I think it was just perfect for them. Here's the pictures!
