Hello long lost blog friends. I guess I'm really the lost one. I sort of took a blogging hiatus (obviously) but I'm back! =) I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that the new year got off to a great start. We had wonderful holidays! I know I promised to have pictures of all our get togethers but I guess I'm a big fat liar because I really dropped the ball this time!! Sorry!

So today, I've decided to do a little recap of 2009. I selected just a few of my favorite wedding and engagement shots we blogged last year. We were really so fortunate to work with great couples and had a blast this year. Here's a look!

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!

Well, Labor Day weekend is just about over and I'm sad about it. It was a good but busy weekend and quite frankly I'd like to take another day off to rest up. Thursday night we shot a fun senior session. Saturday was a great wedding day. Sunday was church, lunch at Grandma's, and a fabulous engagement session. Today was odds and ends around the house, errands, hanging out with a friend and getting baby puke ALL over me,  supper at Dac's parents house, and lots of photo editing! Now that you know all these un-interesting facts about our weekend, I must tell you, I have a dentist appt. tomorrow. Just one of the many reasons I don't want the weekend to be over. I HATE going to the dentist. I practically kick and scream like a toddler on my way in for a simple cleaning! =) Wish me luck.

 Here are a couple sneak peeks from the weekend. Rusty and Amanda got married in a sweet ceremony Saturday. They both looked great and we really enjoyed the laid back day. They're so cute together! Yesterday we met up with Jerry and Adrienne for their rad engagements. We've been looking forward to this one for a quite some time and it didn't disappoint. These two are fun! =) All of these guys helped us to have a great weekend!

These two shared some college classes together and hit it off after several shy "good mornings". They are both criminal justice majors gunning to protect and serve and I just happen to think they're two of the sweetest people ever!

We had a great time doing this session out on Rusty's family land. It involved lots of hiking, knee-high brush, and several "stay calm Alisha, no snake is going to eat you alive" pep talks to myself. =) It was work but it was worth it for the cool spots we found. Check them out!



We are so excited for Rusty and Amanda's wedding over Labor Day weekend! It's at a quaint country church (a sister church to the one we go to to) where we just happen to have sunrise service each year. Anyway, can't wait!! These two are fun to be with!

Well, school has started again. For the most part this doesn't affect me much. Even though I work for the school district... I, unfortunately, have to work year-round. Like most of you, I don't get a fabulous summer break to refresh and get excited about work again. That's the con. The pro is that come August whenever everyone else in the district is whining about having to go BACK to work... it's no big bad change for me! I'VE been here the whole time! So there! I try to convince myself that the pros outweigh the cons. Come May, it'll be a different story though. =) There you have it. Early morning ramblings by Alisha. In other news, I'm getting a haircut today! My hair has been in an awful ponytail since May. Get excited, today is a good day!! OK, onto why you're all here.

You probably remember this cute couple from the sneak peek I posted a few days ago. We absolutely loved photographing Liz and Miles. They are head over heels in love which I think you'll see in the pictures. =) They worked it out for the camera...and it was well worth the effort. We had a great time doing the photo shoot, posing with the kitty and hanging out eating shaved ice. What more can you ask for? Here's a few of our favorites:
