Sigh, don’t you just want to feel his velvety hair!
BTW, this was taken at my ugly apartment with a shower curtain on the hide-a-bed and a
bed sheet draped over the back of the couch! Never would’a guessed, eh?
Well first of all, I try not to take myself too seriously, so it's hard for me to think about what I want to say about myself! I grew up in Florida with a large family. My enitre family has Art running through their veins. My Grandfather was a professional photographer, Mom and Dad both have artistic qualities, and I think all of my sibblings have a knack for being creative one way or another! So here I am, married with children and wondering how in the world am I going to channel my passion into something beautiful, productive, fulfilling, and find bliss all at the same time!? But seriously, I sometimes feel like photography is my drug.
I am 6 years married with three sweet boys, 4, 2, and 5 months. (I'm going to have to keep that updated...). I love my family dearly, I love my Heavenly Father and going to church, I'm a good girl, and I never INTEND to offend anybody :) I'm very gullible, goofy, and an all around happy-go-lucky person.
Why Photography? Oh goodness, I need an outlet, I LOVE people, I love love, and I LOVE adorable little baby fat rolls. I HAVE to create, I can't breathe without that. Though being a full time mom and homemaker takes up most of my time and energy, I just can't keep myself from obsessing and dreaming about being an amazing wedding Photographer. Over the past 4 years in the wedding industry, I feel like I've become a regular wedding junkie! By recognizing the latest styles and wedding trends, I am prepared to capture everything that is unique and beautiful at your wedding and wrap it all up into an amazing timeless package. And that amazing package is the work of art you will walk away with when the day is all said and done. How well do you want to remember it?

Just had to share this…Missy came over and took some more pictures of Michael.
Hope this makes you as happy as it does me…
January 14, 2010 - 4:08 pm - impossible to be as happy as you, the proud mommy ;)
Well, December was a crazy month! New baby, Holidays, and sick kids! Makes for one hectic month, but I have borne it well with the attitude of complete and total isolation. So I apologize for getting so behind and not responding to anybody for a while, but I honestly haven’t even checked my e-mail until today, well maybe I peaked on occasion, but I chose not to reply for my own sanity.
Michael is already a month old, and I can’t believe how time flew! Here are a few images my sister Missy took for us at the hospital (these are from her blog). She is an awesome photographer, and was happy to come and do it for me! She used all film, and I just love the results…
January 7, 2010 - 12:44 am - Congratulations, to you and your family! What a beautiful baby, and you look beautiful for photos...now that's just not fair! I love the pic of you kissing him. perfect.
January 5, 2010 - 4:39 pm - Melanie, What a beautiful mother you are. You and your son look great. I am glad you took some time for yourself. Every new mom needs that time. Hope everything else is going well. We miss you.
Well, I am skipping ahead of a couple weddings to post this one…I am just too eager. All of the weddings that Missy and I have photographed this year have been AMAZING, but this one just kept me on cloud nine for days to follow!! It was so simple and so beautiful, sweet details, and a truely great couple. I think what ultimately captured my heart were the PEARS…Enjoy!
