Another. Another beautiful weekend. Another beautiful wedding.

And, the details always tell the story

Dancing in the lace. What I use to think was an ugly weed, I have come to love. I absolutely love Queen Anne's Lace. And, now is that time that it is everywhere. So bold and beautiful, yet so delicate and pretty! Kind of reminds me of her. She is such her own person. Lately, this girlie is addicted to the Game Show Network. Cracks me up that she loves watching games shows from the 1980's.

Every setting conveys a thousand realities and the joy of photography comes with emphasizing the dimensions that bring personal choice to bear ~ Jill Enfield

And, yes, she had about seven inches chopped of her hair. She absolutely loves it. I love it! But, she did ask last night if she could have her long hair back....umm, well, maybe in about 6 months!!!

Simple. "If I told you in a simple way...we can't last forever, would it be okay..." "And would you love me, here anyway? Keep the fire burning till the light of day..." ~Days of Summer, by Paisley Brain Cells

Sometimes, the most simple things is what I love the most.

Heidi + Andrew ~ a sneak peek. Every weekend that I get to witness it, I am inspired by it. Every time I drink it in. And, never once do I tire of seeing it, feeling, and sharing in romance and love. And, this happened to be a favorite so far...

And, there was just something about this second in time, that I really, really loved.

Here's to another beautiful weekend...enjoy! I know I will.

Daydreaming.
Daydreaming of this today...the sand between my toes, the breeze blowing, the sun setting to perfection, the kiddos exploring and having a blast.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

Happy Birthday.
Happy, happy birthday Mom.

I've been waiting to order you these delightful cupcakes...

Enjoy your day!!!

Life is like art. You have to work hard to keep it simple and still have meaning.” ~ Charles de lint "

Just once... I wish I could get the two of them together without the funny faces, the fighting and arguing, the gnashing of teeth...but then again...this is LIFE. This is them. This is what I see. So when I look at this image, it reminds me of one of my most favorite photography quotes: "Usually I think if there is something imperfect in a photograph it makes the picture more real. Photographs that are slick, smooth, and imperfect seem less honest to me." ~ John Loengard

But, then again just once would be nice too!

07.10.12 Does not everything depend on our interpretation of the silence around us?”

Two years later. Two years ago, I did their wedding...

Two years later, comes a baby in a baby carriage!!!! And, he is just the sweetest.

Congratulations Stacy and Derek. I am so excited for the both of you!!! And, totally honored to be able to capture this precious time in your life!!!

The swear jar. Just so you know...

I already put my dollar in for the day.

Excuses, excuses. I know, I know. I have been a really terrible blogger. And, all the money I spend to attend these wedding conferences to help boost your photography business ALL stress the importance of blogging and social media! Ha!!! It is true. Blog your photos. The thing is....I am more about standing behind the lens then in front of the computer monitor. And, even though this past month has been so awesome with really great clients, furry friends, and two beautiful weddings...I have yet to blog hardly any of it. But....I have good reason. I have been hanging at the Lake and at the play park. So, in no particular order, of course. I just wanted to share a few of my personal favorites. Some are even from father's day. YIKES!! But mostly are from the day we played in the park. I love watching my kids be monkies with their Daddy!!!

And,to all my clients from the month of June, if it is any consolation, your prints are all on order and you will be receiving them within the week!!! I promise, because I just checked my confirmation with UPS!!!! Enjoy the rest of your week.
