Wild Gypsies on the Beach

I am working on my new site "Wild Gypsies" which will celebrate strong women who want to feel sexy and beautiful... these are just a few pics of Summer and Kappie (both of whom have been on my blog a few times- I just LOVE working with these girls). I know they are wanting to see more... but these will have to do until I get back (remember, patience IS a virtue girls ;)).

I've been a BAD blogger!!!

Well.. I've never claimed to be a great blogger (desopite the fact I actually enjoy writing and was a journalism major at one point lol)... but I seem to have gotten a lot worse lately! Thanks to a friendly reminder I realized I never posted any pics from some stuff I did back in late April and early May. So, hopefully the adage "better late than never" will apply in this situation :)

I figure since I'm leaving for California tomorrow (yay to working vacations!) that now would be a good time to add some blog entries really fast. So, I will be making a few back-to-back posts :) (aren't you a lucky blog reader?) Part of teh reason I've been a bit lacking in my blogging is b/c I've been planning on getting a new blog, website, and logo. Well, I've managed to get teh new logo... and some of these will be featuring my new logo- while some will have my old one... try not to let it confuse you too much ;)

Without further ado... here's a small mix of pics... try to figure which are my 2 ;)

Ms. S & Ms. M & Mr. W...

are all just cute as can be! I loved this impromptu session (and Dele LOVES Ms. M!!! I have some cute ones of those 2 to share as well ;)). (I have to say- I love all of these- but the one of Mr. W by himself just *cracks* me up! He was such a ham :))

Last time ;)

I promised Summer I'd give her one more sneak peek... so here it is :) Your gallery will be live tomorrow!

(the first is my fave :))

Gonnie and Jen...

This cute couple met with me last week for a mini engagement shoot... and, as always, I couldn't quite grasp the concept of "mini" :) Well... I think I am going to be a bit beyond the 5-10 proofs I promised lol, I'll have them ready tomorrow night. I hope these will tide you over until then! I'll see you in one month! (man time flies lol)

The Gilley's Part two

I'm nowhere near being done with this wedding yet... so I may end up with one more blog entry on the Gilley's :) But I promised Summer I'd have sneak peek part two up today... and these were just a few more that caught my eye. And I wanted to reiterate once again- despite the unplanned , last second switch in locations, I honestly don't think she could have had a prettier wedding! The green grass was such a lovely compliment to the girl's dresses and Summer and Josh both looked relaxed, happy, and gorgeous. I promise I am working hard on getting your final gallery ready, but until then I hope you guys love your 2nd round of sneak peeks!

Introducing the New Mr. & Mrs. Gilley!

Summer and Josh are so fun to work with! She definitely knows how to work the camera- and he adores her... so they are definitely a photographer's dream to shoot. They were wed on April 5th. It was supposed to be a beach wedding, but Mother Nature didn't quite cooperate and they had to move to their back-up plan (which is a GOOD reminder to ALWAYS have a backup plan when dealing with ourdoor weddings!). I know Summer was very disappointed at not having sand between her toes while she said her vows- but the green grass, vibrant from all the rain, really made a lovely backdrop to their day! And the cloud cover made my job even easier because I didn't have to worry about harsh shadows. So, surrounded by their family and friends, they were married in front of a beautiful fountain (the rain stopped just in time to have an outdoor wedding afterall!).

Both sets of families were lovely... with lots of VERY cute kids runnning around (though I never got my shot of all the kids sittting on the fountain- darn!). Her bridesmaids were beautiful and fun, and his groomsmen were too (well- maybe not quite so beautiful ;)). Anyway, they have been VERY patient while waiting on me to get their sneak peeks posted... But, hopefully these are worth the wait :) I promise I will post more next week!
