Bachelorette Party!

This was a blast! Paula was lovely, her bridesmaids and friends were just as lovely, we stayed at the most GORGEOUS condo.... and we got to meet emeril when we went to dinner! All in all- a perfect time was hadby everyone. I can't believe the wedding is only a month away! I can't wait- Paula has planned on incredible wedding and the amount of yummy details we will get to shoot is getting Chyrel and I excited! And here's a reminder peek at Paula (and Mike's!) Engagement shoot (well- I made 3 posts total lol- but that one has the most ;)).


He was a GREAT sport!

Ms. Amanda & Mr. C

I met up with Amanda and her son last Sunday for a mom & son session at the beach. Mr. C was such a cutie but really had NO interest in me or my camera! It was his first trip to the beach in a year and he was enthralled by the water- so I was definitely NOT the most exciting thing around! But we perserved and I ended up with a ton of fun pictures. Sorry it took me so long to get your sneak peeks up... to thank you for your patience I put a few extras up for ya! I hope these are worth the wait :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Just wanted to give a quick hello to two new babies... Ian and Maya. Ian was born last Monday to the lovely Caylin and Steve, and he has a very proud big brother in Mr. David! I can't believe it's already been a month and a half since I was invited to document their maternity. Then again, I also can't believe she held on for as long as she did! Congrats on the safe arrival of your newest member!

And Maya was born just yesterday to the wonderful Samya and John, whose beautiful wedding I covered last June. Maya is their first born, with hopefully many more beautiful children to come. I know you will both be wonderful parents and couldn't be happier with her arrival.

Congrats again to all of you!

Will & Denee Part Deux...

Whoops... I *thought* I'd done this last week... but either my blog post got eaten (not likely) or I just completely spaced it (much more likely! lol). So here is the final sneak peek for the New Mr & Mrs. Wansley! I'm going over the final selections from Chyrel, and should have your entire gallery up by mid-week :) I hope you love them! Thanks again for inviting me to be a part of your day. You were so fun to work with, and everyone really enjoyed themselves- me included!

And Chyrel has her pics up now as well; check them out HERE!

Denee & Will 3/1/08

Wow! I can't believe a whole year has passed since I first met with the always delightful Ms. Denee and discussed shooting her wedding! Since then I have done a portrait session with her daughters (still one of my faves to date! find it Here ) as well as an engagement session with Denee and Willie (which was a blast! Find it Here). After shooting this family over the past year, I feel as if I have known them forever.

It was a huge honor and great joy to be able to document their wedding day while surrounded by all the family and friends who love them so much. These two families seemed so close already, and it was wonderful to be around so much joy and excitement!

Denee and Will, you are beautiful people and treat each other with so much love and respect. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you and your beautiful children. I hope you love your sneak peeks, I'll try to make another posting next week... and the entire gallery will be ready in 2 weeks!

*Oh- and a quick note to my future brides... I wanted to point out that though the first picture is actually from the rehearsal- I generally NEVER show pictures from that day! If these two weren't so adorable, they wouldn't be here either ;) So no fears- when I'm clicking away at your rehearsal- those pictures aren't going to randomly show up on my blog ;) (unless you are an uber cute 2 yr old being helped down the aisle by your big sis!)*
