Hey 2010 seniors! If you haven't already booked a session with us, NOW is the time to do it! Our schedule is filling up quickly and we have only a few select dates left! If you've talked to us about doing a session (senior session or any other kind) but haven't actually got a date booked, you need to jump right on that so we can reserve that time for you! We love seniors and can't wait to hang out and get some awesome shots for you!
Also, it's not too early to be thinking about family pictures before the holidays! Believe it or not, it's going to sneak right up on us. =) It always does. We are in the beginning phases of planning a day for family mini-sessions. This will be a day in the fall (we're thinking October-Novemberish) when we meet at one location and offer 30-minute mini-sessions all day at a reduced price to provide more people with the opportunity to get some great shots for Christmas cards/gifts/ets... I'll be posting more details very soon so keep your eyes out. If you're more interested in our typical family session experience, please let us know asap. Ok, enough of this business talk!! We'll be back to posting fun pictures in no time.
PS - It's Friday and I'm happy about that.

Whew! What. A. Weekend. Dac's mom turned 50! To celebrate, we (family) and one of her good friends threw her a surprise party Saturday. My sister-n-law, our friend (and adopted sister =)) Cori got up bright and early to go decorate for the party but not before stopping at the donut shop for a little morning motivation. =) Then, after putting our gangsta skills to work by spray painting signs, we went to lunch. Are you seeing a trend here? That night, we had lots of snacks...and... LOTS OF CAKE!!!
The first two cakes are ones we ordered for the surprise party. I think they're pretty funny. Bwahahahahaha. The third one, is my masterpiece! Terese always makes each of us whatever we want to eat and whatever cake we want for our birthday dinner. She wanted wedding cake. So that's what she got....or at least something like it. =) Don't be jealous of my mad cake-decorating skills. She also wanted mexican food for lunch. So Val and I made a taco/burrito bar and enchiladas and it was fabulous.
So I guess the point of this post (if there is one) is that we had a long, fun weekend and I ate WAY too much. Hope you all had a good weekend too. Hang in there - I promise we have plenty of real posts coming soon!
OH, and PS - Peety is home from the vet and is doing well. He had definite inflamation of the eye but they didn't find any scratches or anything else particularly serious. So, Dac's been putting this sab stuff on his eye three times a day and we're hoping by the time it's over, Peety will be 100%. He's already feeling a lot better so that makes me feel better too!

Cori:

Well, my fuzzy buddy is at the vet today. =( I know. It's ok to be sad. I'm sad too.
Last night, while we were eating supper, Peety was kind of moping around. We, of course, just kind of blew it off like he just wanted an enchilada too and didn't think much more about it. So we headed off to a very adventurous engagement session with Kayla and Chet (more on that later) and when we got home Peety was still moping and whining, and he wouldn't get more than half a centimeter away from Dac at any given point. Dac started to think maybe it was his ears bothering him. Then, as he was checking those, I noticed his eye was extremely red. The more we looked, the more we could tell that was what he was so upset about. He kept whining and rubbing his eye...he could barely keep it open. So at 10 p.m., we called the vet. Pugs obviously have very big, sensitive eyes that can easily get badly hurt... we weren't going to mess around with it. The Dr. told us to give Peety a little food and some aspirin and to bring him in this morning. So we did. The aspirin seemed to help tremendously and I was so glad to see him feeling more like himself. We're thinking it was probably something minor like dirt in his eye but he's still at the vet's office so we don't know for sure yet. Can't wait to see him!
Hope you all have a great weekend and if you have a dog, or a cat, or even a pig or iguana...give them a hug today! =)

Haha. =) Ok, so we took a trip to Louisianna for Memorial Day weekend and we had a BLAST!! My cousin Courtney (hey Boo!) got MARRIED and I got to be her Matron of Honor and I sang too. I'm not sure how we've managed to stay close all these years living so far apart but we have and I'm thrilled about it. Courtney is the sister I never had and I couldn't be happier for her and Ryan (whom I totally approve of)!
Anyway, the wedding was beautiful as was the bride, and it was a great time to see lots of family that I haven't seen in quite a while. =) The first couple of days we were there we got to just hang out and enjoy everyone's company. I ate lots of good food too... tasty BBQ, fish, cobbler, cake, cake, cake and sweet tea, sweet tea, sweet tea... to name a few. I came back with a huge belly ache and vowed to never do it again...until next time.
The day before the wedding, I helped Courtney and my Aunt Cindy (Courtney's mom) decorate for the reception. Then, we relaxed by getting mani/pedis before the rehearsal dinner that night. Later that night, all of Courtney's bridesmaids stayed with one of her friends in her gorgeous home. She was such a great hostess and I had a great time catching up with Courtney's friends I knew from growing up and getting to know those I didn't know already. They are all fabulous and welcomed me right in. Whew!
Oh, and I edited these on my laptop, so they appear pretty dark on the Web site... sorry about that. The pictures aren't great anyway, but you get the idea. Just ignore the darkness...pretend everyone has a golden tan. =)
Like I said, the wedding went off without a hitch and I'm honored to have been a part of it. On our way back, we stopped to visit an IKEA. We love IKEA's stuff but had never actually been in a store. It was cool but I'm not gonna lie...it was a little overwhelming to say the least. We found some stuff we want for our new house that we've yet to find. Sigh. That's a whole other story.
Now, I think I need a vacation to recover from vacation! =) It was so much fun though. I always feel right at home down there and love to visit. I think Dac even feels a little more at home down there now too. I hope you all had a great holiday weekend.
Stay tuned for pictures from Justin and Erica's wedding we shot a couple weeks ago!

So. As you know, Mother's Day was Sunday. We don't have kids...unless you count our adorable (yes, I know that's subjective) pug Peety. But, I am a Godmother. I was also the Fairy Godmother in our high school's production of Cinderella my junior year. I got to wear a rockin' copper metallic dress and wave a glowing broom, but that's another story. I'm also a Godmother right now to the beautiful, talented, and amazing 7-month old Journey. =) If you can't remember who Journey is, shame on you but you can look here or here for a refresher.
Yesterday was a less than delightful day, until I got this:
That's right. A Godmother's day card from miss Journey herself! Sure, it was signed in her mama's handwriting, but it melted my heart none-the-less. I just love her to pieces!! Journey, thanks so much for the great card. I'll be scheduling a playdate soon! =)
