Remember these cute love birds? They tied the knot a while back. Rusty and Amanda planned a perfectly sweet and simple wedding in Rusty's home church outside of town. (Am I the only person who used to watch the Statler Brothers show on Saturday nights when I'd spend the night with grandma and grandpa? They had this section of the show where they played the piano and sang gospel songs. One of the songs they sang was "The Little Brown Church in the Vale". I always get that song stuck in my head when I think about Rusty's church...even though his church isn't brown....it's white....but I digress.)
ANYWAY - it was a great wedding to be a part of. Amanda and Rusty are just so in love and were giddy with excitement on their big day. They are both so super sweet and we couldn't be happier for them!
This past weekend was an exciting one for us. First of all, it was Arkalalah, and though I wasn't 100% in the Arkalalah spirit this year, I still had a good time and still ate my weight in fatty Arkalalah cuisine. Wednesday night, I headed downtown with my pal Heather to eat and watch the night parade. Friday, I went on my traditional Jeffy Pup and Pickle-O run with Kayla. That night, we went and ate pizza and ice cream with our good friends Tarl and Joy. Saturday, was parade day. Dac and I chowed down at the pancake feed, then met up with Tarl, Joy, John and Anna (more good friends) for street games and the parade. Of course, I had to have a funnel cake for that. When we left the parade, I felt horrible. I mean truly miserable...but there was still more eating to be done. We had chili and I had made snack mix, cake balls, and brownies for snacks! Yikes! The next morning, we (of course) had donuts. Needless to say a diet has begun! =) We had a great time with friends though. It's such an interesting group. There's so many differences, so many similarities, and everyone gets along fabulously! Unfortunately, I didn't take a single picture. =( We're planning a New Years extravaganza though, so I'll be sure to get pictures of that.
Sunday, we went to WICKED and LOVED IT! It's been quite some time since I've been to a musical and it didn't disappoint. I LOVE musicals. Why I majored in Journalism instead of Theatre...is beyond me. I mean, who needs raw talent anyway? Right? I guess my practical side won that battle. =) Now, it's back to the grindstone. Pictures are being edited and ordered and yes, even blogged! More to come soon!

OK, wow, we are so behind on blogging it's not even funny. If it makes you feel any better, we're only neglecting our blog in an effort to get proofs out sooner. (Maybe it just makes me feel better!) So, if you're waiting on yours, hang in there!! I promise they're coming! =)
Back in, gulp, August, we got to spend a whole day with Kayla and Chet. The day was full of fun, laughs, and even a few happy tears that these two found a perfect match in each other. The wedding was beautiful and so was everybody in it. It was our first Catholic wedding to photograph, so that was cool and interesting. These guys know how to party it up too, so the reception was a blast. I even got to catch up with some old friends while we were there. Oh, AND, Kayla and Chet allowed plenty of time for pictures. This was great because we got to take just the two of them out and about for some cool portraits. It was the perfect time for them to enjoy each other and their just-married selves! =) Here's a quick glance at the day.
On a side note, Trick-or-Treat was last night (our town did it then because this weekend is ARKALALAH! Yes, I'm excited.) and we had a good time. We have several friends with little kiddos that stopped by so that was fun. =) We saw several lady bugs, soldiers, and Michael Jackson's. Did I mention Arkalalah is this weekend? =)

My favorite "niece" and Goddaughter 'J' turned ONE! Ok, so she actually turned one on October 4th...we're a little behind! I can't believe how much she's grown up in such a small amount of time. She's walking, 'talking', and she has the biggest mischievous grin! I love it. The girl has spunk. =)
Here's some pictures we took at 1 day old, 1.5 months old, 3 months old and 6 months old....then we'll get to the latest!
Now, for the ones you've been waiting for....drum roll please... J's ONE YEAR pictures! (and some of the cute family too!) Mark and Kayla planned a cute lady bug themed party for her (which I forgot to take my camera to...can you believe that?!?! ugh) so she got some pictures in her lady bug tutu outfit. She's adorable. Love her! Yes I do! =)

So, waaaaaaay back before Chet and Kayla's big day, we shot these Bridals. Kayla made a beautiful bride didn't she? Both she and Chet work and/or volunteer for our fire department so of course we hit up the station as one of our locations. It was fun! Here's just a glance at our session:
I promise we WILL get around to posting their wedding pictures (and everyone else's sessions we've yet to post) so hang in there!
This weekend was a busy weekend for us as far as photography goes. We had our first mini-session extravaganza Saturday and it was so COOL. Literally. We froze our tails off!! It was SO worth it though. We had a great time and got to meet and see a bunch of cool families!! All in all I'd say it was a big success. We're definitely talking about doing similar events next year.
Sunday, we did a "we've practically been friends since we were born and now we're seniors and want pictures together" session. I think sessions like these are such a great idea. While we're on the topic of random sessions I want to say I think it's so important to get pictures when you want them - to document life at that moment - even if there's no big "reason" to get them done. Life is more than graduations, weddings, and babies. It's everything! Anyway, more pictures to come soon!

I am so excited to finally be posting again and so excited to finally be posting this great session! =) I am giddy with excitement right now! We first met Adrienne at these guys' wedding. We love getting to know other awesome people through our already awesome clients/friends.
Adrienne and I talked through e-mails for several weeks prior to the shoot and I knew the shoot would be fabulous. I sensed that she was very stylish, laid-back, and fun-loving...and that Jerry had to be just as cool. I've got mad people reading skills so of course I was dead on! =) I also bet there's never a dull moment with these two either. They pretty much radiate love and happiness! Here's a few of our favorites from that day!
