My brother's gettin' hitched!

This is my big brother. And in just a few short weeks he's "tying the knot" to this gorgeous beauty. This really is such an exciting time for our family because we've never seen him so happy. We're soooo happy that he's found someone that he adores and so happy for him to start this next phase of his life.

This shot is my absolute fav from last night. Aren't they the cutest?? And I love how their outfits are totally casual. Fits my brother to a "T."

Congratulations, Tim and Angie!

Also, I'm trying to decide how to put my logo on my pictures. I always liked it on the side but then realized that it's really, really easy for people to crop it off which kinda bugs. So should I just start putting it directly back on the picture itself? And maybe it would look better all white? Not sure... thoughts??

The bump has arrived...

well, being that this is my third pregnancy... this bump had arrived a long time ago... unfortunately. I swear, there is no way I would have been able to hide this pregnancy even if I wanted to. Almost 14 weeks and everything is looking good so far! We are sooooo excited and my daughter is hoping and praying it's a girl. So because of that, I think I have a little hope for another girl too. Hubby would totally disagree, though. We shall see.

Other exciting news... my computer is FIXED!! We are back in business people! More posts with more pictures and substance will be coming in the near future... promise!

Computer Issues...

Uh, hello?... is anyone there? Does anyone even look at this blog anymore? (LOL!) I'm writing to say that I really have so much to blog about. Like, sooooo much... to name a few... three weddings, seniors from back in spring, bridals and engagements, family sessions etc, etc. and it just isn't happening for now. My computer (imac) is totally dying. Therefore, a lot of my work has been put on hold. My dear hubby is actually on the phone with apple tech support as I type this. It's been diagnosed with needing a new hard drive and I've been spending all my waking working hours to back up all of my files to get it ready for this little undertaking. Problem is, when you have a bad hard drive then it makes it even harder to copy files over. Overall, it hasn't been easy. I want to swear at it everyday... but I don't... but I do cry from time to time. And when that starts happening I just have to walk away and make hubby take over. He is so much better at the techy stuff and, oh, did I mention that I'm pregnant?? Um, yup... so throw that in there and basically you have one frustrated and stressed out girl... plus, super hungry and tired ALL the time. I have to thank my dear clients for being so patient and understanding with me. This has been the worst. Really, the worst. I'm hoping to have this all resolved within the next week but seems like we keep running into unexpected problems along the way that keep setting us back. Just not sure I love macs as much as I used to. They just don't last. (I've only had the computer for a year and a half and this is the second item I've had to have replaced. I can't stress enough... buy the extended warranty!! You will need it!)

Thanks for listening... I'll keep you posted.

More to come...

from both of these couples... can't wait to share!!

This weekend...

Fun night up in the canyon... loved this couple and the setting!

Hope everyone had a happy 4th!

Randy & Elise

I'm pretty sure this is totally a record for me. You are not going to believe how many pictures are in this post! Can I just say that I'm soooo happy with this session?! It makes my heart happy just looking at these. And the couple, some of the sweetest people I have ever met. I'm soooo excited to be shooting their wedding in August. It's going to be absolutely beautiful!

Also, a big "thank you" to my wonderful assistant for the night, Natalie. You are so hired!! LOL!

These really were such tender moments during the session. I was dying!! Soooo beautiful!

Isn't this girl absolutely stunning? She rocked everything!

Love, love, love!

And a little silliness to end on. :)

Only a teaser??

Oh my, it is soooo sad how long it's been since my last post. I feel so sorry for any of you who follow this blog. Well, "followed" would probably be the correct term. Don't give up on me... I really have good intentions to post a wonderful project that I'm still in the middle of and not to mention some pictures from a fabulous workshop that I hosted last week. All these things... plus, being a mom have really consumed me lately. I really am so sorry... and I'm really so sorry that every post is an apology for not posting. Sheesh... I need to get my blog up higher on my priority list. Until then, just a teaser from a fantastic couple I hung out with for like 5 hours last Saturday!! We're totally best friends now... for life! LOL! Love their session and hope to share it among other things with you soon!
