Life lately

Quick Update: Since my last post my niece has made it home from the hospital.. Thank You for all the thoughts and prayers. The Lord used the wonderful people at Riley Hospital to ensure the best possible recovery for her situation and I couldn't me more thankful.

January in summation (the biz&life randomness):

Now to everything else, I love my life :) January brought 3 new brides to me in one week, that was amazing. Bev+ Ryan, Matt+Miranda, and Cara+Jason.. I have spent so much time getting to know all 3 of these amazing couples, I just can't wait to photograph their weddings this and next year! I am more than lucky to have been chosen by them to capture their love..

Sara and Alan joined my list of January Sessions..

 This couple is very special to me for many reasons, one being that Sara has been a long time bff of mine, we have been close friends since the first grade. On the day we met for the session we also took a few family photos out at her Grandma's house in the country.. It was very bittersweet for me to see her family; a family I spent countless nights at their house for sleepovers.. I actually got really teary eyed when I first saw her mom and sister.. Time really does pass so quickly, my first grade best friend and I are all grown up, and now I have my own first grader who just started a new school and it so happens her new best friend is named Sara. Oh Lord, the things you do to bring even the smallest amount of joy to our lives!

Sara's Fam <3  in the front room of her Gram's house..Yes, when I say "on location" I really do mean it..

Lovebirds on the streets of Catlin... One very old but beautiful small town

My Bestie Vanessa who came along with me to be my assistant for the day! <3 her!

These two just wanted a simple session to document their love..Mission Complete!

Mission Double Complete

Showing Alan a pose, turned into a photo op for 2 childhood best friends. I am so getting a big copy of this to keep and every time I am down I can look at it and smile because I know I have a real friendship in my life, one that tells the truth, gives honest opinions in a compassionate not jerky way, and even through any disagreements remains loyal. To look at and see that I have always had someone to be silly, and smile with, someone who either understood my tears or did her best to try.. I love you Miss Sara and I am so happy that you have found the Ying to your Yang!

April and Garrett,

 Another very special couple to me, I spent many nights filled with fun & laughter with these two and other friends.This couple has been through far too much in this life but still remain so sweet in love and so full of life.. I can't imagine why anyone would ever want to hurt them but I guess there are rude and evil people in this world that are only out for self gain, that like to promise things they never had any intention of following through with.. sad..very sad.. I can only hope that I helped remove some of that unneeded disrespect&hurt..

Sweet Candy and kisses

This one is for their son Wyatt
