Can't you tell how fun they are? Check back soon for more!

So sorry for the lack of posts, but whew has it been busy in my world. Between Colorgaurd Camp, Learning my new camera, Shooting a Wedding, and working I am worn plum out! But as I try my darndest to get in the swing of things here are some of Mallory's beautiful Bridals! Her wedding pictures are coming soon-my first big shoot with my new camera-yay!

Thanks for checking in, see you soon.

So...

I am excited! I love when little things happen all at the right time, just when I need them. God's timing is unbelievable! Just as I start to get a little tired and worried about all that I have coming up, He sends me a bit of encouragement. I am blessed with the an amazingly supportive family. And have the greatest and most encouraging man, ever (who went away for a week and I get to see in 4 days!!), the most precious and sweet friends ever, and a God who continually picks my clumsy self up time and time again. Life really is good.

I started camp this week with the Colorgaurd. (I was asked to go to my Alma Mater and teach Colorgaurd in the PHS Band this semester) AT first, I felt really nerdy. And then, once I got there I had such a peace about it. The girls are soooo great and I just know that God has me there for a reason. Those sweeties have already touched my heart, and I have only been there for two days! So be looking for fun posts that I will have devoted just to them. I have already warned them that my new camera needs to be tested!

Just to give you a quick taste of my first run with my camera, here is a pic of mine and Ryan's good friend Chris Styne who played at the Brew on Saturday night.























And his sweet daughter, Marleigh Rose...






















Thanks for reading, and be checking for frequent updates soon! I have a wedding every weekend for the next three weekends!

Two Dogs and a Dude

Well, I am working on learning my new amazingly awesome camera and fun new lens, but just wanted to give you a few pics of what has been going on! When I got my new lens in, I didn't have anyone to practice on so I went outside and practiced on my dogs :)

Meet Winston... he didn't like my camera very much. He still growls at me when I go outside...

Meet Sam. My overweight, easy going, and very sweet Golden Retriever :)

And here is Aaron. He happens to be the sweetest and most talented young man I have ever met. He, my dear blog readers, has an album. Yes, you read right. An album, at the age of 13! He was so much fun to shoot and I know that his future holds amazing things, and I can't wait to see it unfold!

We decided on this for the cover of the album, what do you think?

Look for new photos soon...which will be taken with my new camera!! Can I get a whoop, whoop?! (And yes, I do realize how dorky that was, but I really don't care! :)) Grace, Peace, and Beauty to you all!

New, New, New!

Well, lots of things are changing around here. I recently bought a new camera and a new lens, got my first prints in, made a contract, and actually had a restful weekend! I am so excited to see what God has in store for me and I can't wait to share it with you! I just wanted to stop in and post a couple of pics I took last week during Malory's Bridals. Now, of course I can't post her Bridals until after her Wedding, but her sister Brooke got married just one month ago, and she joined us for a few pictures with both of them in their dresses. In the meantime, we ran across an old red railroad car, and Brooke wanted some pictures taken. Since her BFF Casey couldn't come, I took some for her! Enjoy this beautiful Bride!

Josh and Mallory, the sequel

Here are some more of the fun Mal and Josh. They are funny-and unlike any customer I have had thus far and I like that. Most engagements I have are still very much infatuated with one another. They can't stop gazing in each other’s eyes and they giggle every time something is whispered in their ears. Every kiss is special. With Mal and Josh, it's different. Before you misunderstand-let me explain. These two have been dating for 4 years (almost 5, actually!) and have grown together, and learned. So it isn't about infatuation for them anymore. It is real love, love that has stood the test of time, high school, college, and all of the things that come with growing into an adult. So, at first it was a challenge for me to capture it, because it was so different from what I was used to. But quickly I realized how great it was. These two have a great life ahead of them and I am so excited to see it unfold, and so honored to be a tiny part of their beginning.

(P.S. I am not in any way downing infatuation, by the way :) I am still very much infatuated with my sweetie!)

Okay, here they are, again!

Told you they were cute!
Grace, Peace, and Beauty to you all.

Josh and Mal

Just wanted to post a really fast update! Here is Josh and Mal! I will post a few more later but just wanted to share this sweet couple with you!

Lindy and Nate's Reception

I love these two. You know that. I know that. Good, that is out of the way. Lindy and Nate had an amazing party/reception, and I was so honored to be a part. It was such a fun night, and there are just too many pictures to blog and I have to get up at 5:30 AM, so here is what I got :D enjoy!

Lori Matlock catered/hosted this great party, and she is ahmazing. Love her and her yummy food.

Nate told me there was one thing I had to be sure and get- this precious girl!

















A fun first dance
























Here's a kind of weird artsy one, but that fits Sam well :)


























We'll end on this fun group shot...
