God truly has a sense of humor… and I seem to be the butt of a lot of his jokes. It doesn’t rain for THREE weeks, then just minutes before Victoria and Jermaine’s outdoor ceremony it starts raining! Only to stop long enough to get the guests outside… then it starts again!
Victoria and Jermaine really weren’t phased by the change in plans. They exchanged vows on the dance floor, surrounded by all the people who love them. So, if rain on your wedding day is good luck, then they were certainly blessed on Saturday!

To all of our 2011 brides– Olyn and I were talking this week and we hate that we are always so rushed on the wedding day that sometimes we don’t get the opportunity to create all the images we have in our minds. So, for all of our 2011 brides– WE WANT TO PLAY! We are offering a complimentary bridal portrait session to any 2011 wedding client– the only hitch is that it has to be what we are looking to do. These are not going to be run of the mill, Maclay Gardens type of bridal portraits, nor are they going to be “trash the dress”. We want to work at some cool locations, play with some unconventional lighting and just have the time to do the things that we want to do. We are looking to create lots of those images that make you stop and say “ooooh”. This is the really artsy side of what we do and many times on the wedding day the schedule doesn’t give us enough time for these types of images.
If you are interested in “letting us play”, just send me an email and we will schedule your bridal session! I am so excited to go play and create the kind of images that I love!

Cason has always been a serious little dude, but this time his mommy and I were determined to get some great big smiles for his one year portraits. So we sang, we danced and finally we tickled… and the results? A big Cason smile! Woooo!

It sure is a good thing that Baby Anthony is soooo cute…. cause if not his mommy might have lost it by now! This little guy just doesn’t sleep! He takes little teeny cat naps day and night– just long enough to get refreshed, but not long enough for his mommy to actually do anything! The sad thing is… this is EXACTLY how I was as a baby! Maybe I should connect Anthony’s mommy with my mommy so they can commiserate?

I have a very special place in my heart for preemies. Our little Ethan tried to come into this world at 28 weeks and luckily through the work of awesome doctors, he made it the full 40 weeks. Baby Waylon was very similar, but the doctors were not able to hold him off until the 40 week. Born at 2 pounds 11 ounces, Baby Waylon spent 9 weeks in the NICU. The little fighter wasn’t on oxygen very long and really showed the world how tough he really is. I am so thankful that he is here and healthy and that I got to play with him!
Because of our experience and the amazing preemies we have photographed in the past, I have decided to start a Preemie Angels program. If your child is born before 36 weeks, we are happy to photograph their first portraits at no charge. Just call the studio and schedule an appointment in the first month they are home from the hospital and you will have no session fee.
