Busy Busy Busy

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I've been super busy! Last week we did a staycation, which mostly ended up being A LOT of yard work, plus a trip to Lagoon and Cherry Hill and a couple of photo sessions thrown in too. We also celebrated my little girl's 2nd birthday with a big BBQ bash for both sides of the family. I have lots of pictures to post (and edit--sheesh!), so you'll have something fun to look at soon!

Elle

I could not help but put several on this sneak peek for you, Annie, because Elle is just too stinkin' cute. I mean, look at her! That tutu was to die for!

Kristine and Jeremy Engagements

I had a great time meeting up with Kristine and Jeremy for their engagements on Saturday. They were such a great couple, and soooo good-looking. Both of them had the most amazingly reflective eyes, and I just adored Kristine's big grins and Jeremy's smiling eyes. You could just see they loved each other when they looked into each other's eyes--they just beamed at one another. Could I really have asked for more than that? And even though Jeremy doesn't enjoy having his picture taken, he was an absolute sport about it and did everything I asked him to-including lying down in a pile of weeds. And check out the results!

5 year anniversary

Most anniversaries are happy ones. Today is not one of those days for me. Today marks 5 years since my little brother passed away.

Jacob, I miss you for so many reasons. I love you always. I am grateful to know I will see you again someday.

Caitlin and Moses' Wedding

Long picture post...I've warned you!

I had the funnest time photographing Caitlin and Moses' wedding last weekend at Milcreek Inn. She was gorgeous--everything was gorgeous. What a beautiful ceremony--Moses' vows were read in spanish and it was so neat to hear that. The wedding party was such a hoot, and had so much fun, dancing into the night and everything. And Caitlin was one beautiful, brave bride-her father passed away only weeks ago, so her brother walked her down the aisle. He was certainly felt in spirit--he was a musician (a fantastically talented musician), and the music brought to life the love he had for his family. It was such a beautiful night.

Random Updates

BUSINESS FIRST:

There are two items of importance pertaining to past and future clients.

First, as those who have ordered from me are aware, I have had a one year archival policy. This has CHANGED. I will currently archive only ordered images for one year. All unordered images will be deleted after 90 days of order due date. Because this has changed I am allowing clients that have had sessions in the year of 2007 to order any archived images for 50% off my current pricing, and I will waive the archival fee. Minimum order of $50 required (after discount taken). This discount is available for only 30 days, at which point in time I will delete images.

Second, do you remember when I told you that I have some exciting news for clients?? Well, after debating about this inside of my head for much too long, I have decided to offer digital negatives to clients. For an updated pricing list that includes digital images, please contact me. I hope to get my website up soon, and it will be on there too. I have been super busy with sessions and remodeling a house, so please be patient while I work out the rest of my website kinks!



MUSIC
I realized I haven't given any of my looksee-ers any music reccomendations lately, and for that I am SOO sorry. I have three for you!
1-Robert Plant (yes that Robert Plant) and Allison Kraus came together on Raising Sand . I recommended it from the JCPenney commercial, but I bought the album and it is soooooo fabulous, I can't even begin to explain. Go get it. I really don't think you could be dissapointed.
2-So I think my sister got sick of me calling her and saying, "Who sings that song that goes like this: ........." or "Who sings that song that the girl just danced to on So You Think You Can Dance?" and after I realized it was always the same artist, I decided I should buckle and buy the album and stop bugging my sister. The artist? One Republic. The album is stuck in my head day and night and I can't stop loving everything about it. I can't find ONE thing I don't like about it. Tyrant is my favorite song, but heavens, they are all good. Go get it!
3- I follow this fabulous photographer, Tara Whitney, and she blogged this one day. Well, wouldn't you know that I did exactly what she described she did when she watched Elf?? Hee heee heee. Super beautiful voice. I highly recommend.

Okay, last but not least. I have lost 12 inches of hair. Check me out!
