Whats New?


My camera is on vacation to NJ to visit the Canon Repair shop. I'm hoping it gets back to me before I leave for MY vacation to TN in two weeks. If not I will take my point and shoot, after all there are always pictures to be taken...Always.

The 4th went well here in my neck of the woods. It rained, but quit in enough time for the fireworks to go off. Which I slept through, by the way. One thing to remember about me, when I'm dog tired I am going to fall asleep. There is NO stopping it.

This happened over the 4th. People are asking "What made the bridge collapse?" Oh I don't know maybe the 80 people standing on it? Personally from the looks of that bridge, I would not have stepped foot into it with more than five people on it, let alone 80.

Who knows what the next holiday will bring. More updates on the Vacation coming soon!

For Brides Only:: Its all about Chill-axin'

When my sister first got married she planned everything out to the very minute. She handed each of us a two-three page itinerary so we knew when everything had to be done and who needed to do it. She ran around like a chicken with her head cut off up until she walked down the aisle.

When I was going to get married, I spent months and months planning. I planned and made list after list. I have three 1.5" binders with planning materials sitting in my closet from my wedding preparation. In the end I didn't have any Bridesmaids, the ceremony was in the Justice of the Peace's home and the reception was at a steakhouse...and I paid for my parents dinner as well as my own. All in all, my wedding cost $50. All that planning...lol.

The thing is, even though my sister turned into a time sheet crazy person, her wedding wasn't perfect but it wasn't a disaster. And although I spend all those months planning and wanted everything just so, I realized that all I wanted was to be with my love. That is what a wedding is all about, one person choosing to be with another person for the rest of their lives. That is a big deal and should be celebrated, it should be a day of happiness and joy; not of stress and tears.

So, sit back and enjoy the day for what it is; a celebration for you and your spouse.

For Brides Only

Two years ago when I was planning my own wedding I loved to sit at my computer and research all of the cool ways I could make my day special. And as some of you know, things did not exactly go as planned and my wedding was very small and intimate. We did not even have a wedding photographer!

So even though I'm married and the legal mumbojumbo is all in place I still have a passion for weddings, its what really got me interested in wedding photography. One of the things I still love to do is check out the latest trends in the wedding world. (Hey it is MY industry after all) So every once in a while I'll be posting something interesting that I have found just for the Brides that stop by this Blog. Things like, invitations, hairstyles, dresses, shoes...anything that I would totally have in my wedding. And who knows...maybe one day I'll throw a big "Wedding" and invite all my brides to share in all that I've learned.

What an awesome adventure Marriage is!

Kile and Bekah Say "I DO"

Pendleton, IN The Hub's best friend got married a few weeks ago and I could not resist bringing the camera with me. He was in the best man and I was not in the wedding party so I had to have something to do the whole time, right? lol.

They held the ceremony right at Bekah's parent's house and it was such a beautiful place! Their living room, literally, looked like a church! Anyways, here are a few images I snapped off during the day.

Kathryn+John Engagement Session

Anderson, IN

I had the pleasure of taking Kathryn and John's engagement photos a few days ago and had a wonderful time! We met up at Shadyside Lake and had some fun hiding in the trees and baking in the heat. I love photographing couples in love and these two are in love. The whole shoot they went about their business as if they had been married for years already.

Here are a few images of the beautiful couple!

Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down-May

Thumbs Up

-The beautiful weather we've been having...it is so good to not have to wonder if I need my coat or not.

-Meeting and having the pleasure of shooting Kathryn and John's Engagement session. They are such a beautiful couple and are so completely in love!

-I've been able to work on my business more this month then I have in the last three put together. It has been one of the most productive months I've had.

-Two Words: Date Night. When to see X-men Origins with the Hub and enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

-Went Kayaking with my sister and got a good workout


Thumbs Down

-News...is it just me or does it get more and more negative everyday.

-That kayaking trip treated me to a sunburn and poison ivy

-Oh yeah...and that poison ivy got infected...lol.

-The taking of medications to get rid of my poison ivy and making me sick...Thank you medical science, you have helped my leg but made the rest of me feel like crap. Isn't that ironic.
