Whew!! A beautiful wedding...

...a wee one

And, another win.

My weekend was a total whirlwind...and I loved every minute of it!!

The best is yet to come... "I know what I want, I have it in my hands right now." ~Gerry, in P.S. I LOVE YOU.

Just another favorite of mine so far......

The color purple {a sneak peek} You know it is going to be an absolutely aahh-maazing day when you show up and the bride is going to wear these awesome heels!!!

And, if you know me, then you know my fascination with brides and their shoes. The fact that they just so happen to be purple...well, B O N U S!!!

Season opener. I always thought football was played in any weather conditions, but we were rained out Saturday afternoon. Apparently, tornado watches + high winds = little football "bobble heads" being tossed all around the football field. Which, I am assuming cannot be good thing. So, the game was rescheduled for the following day, which was Sunday. He's number "55" this year. He plays linebacker and defensive tackle. I'm thinking all those bobble heads out there were getting their "game plan" perfected. Whadda a think??

And, I'm guessing all those "bobble heads" had a good game plan, cuz they WON!! Game One down....many more to go!!!!

Another weekend. “The seasons do not push one another; neither do clouds race the wind across the sky. All things happen in their own good time.” ~Dan Millman

The promise. Remember my post from the other day?? The one were I happen to mention about not being your typical WalMart studio? Well, this is just another reason why I prefer this any day over those department store images. The "promise" for this cutie, was some candy after her photo shoot.....and, well, this is her enjoying that simple"promise".

And, I simply adored her. I simply adore her loving family for allowing me to capture her sweet self. And, I just simply adore this capture. Just like I promised...no fake "cheesey" smiles here, just REAL LIFE unfolding in front of my lens...and, I adore that!!

Beating to a different drum. If there is one thing you should know about me...than you should know I am not your typical smile at the camera and say "cheese" kind of gal. I am what I am. I shoot how I shoot and I don't know any other way to explain it...other than to say that I am most definitely not your JC Penney/Sears/WalMart portrait smile at the camera and be done.

You should understand that if you are looking for those type of in studio posed shots...I am most likely not the photographer for you. It's pretty much a given to expect images where smiling faces do not exist. And, that's just me. It's my style. It's what I like.

To succeed means that you may have to step out of line and march to the sound of your own drummer. But, if you are not looking for the "in the camera smiling" shot, than most likely I am the photographer for you.

Few and far between There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart...pursue those. Michael Nolan
