My Cup Runneth Over...

This was waiting for me on the counter today when I came home from taking our babes to school. With steamy coffee inside even!

I know yesterday when Jim bought this he was dog tired and in the middle of a 15 hour day that wasn't going to be over anytime soon...and somehow he still thought of me and what might make me feel special and happy.

It truly is the little things that mean the most. Thank you Jim, for 10 incredible/crazy years, for being my best friend...and for doing all of the laundry too! I love you! xo xo

Brittany and William: Sneak Peak!

It's mmm...mmm...good :)

Stacy and Mark

Stacy and Mark are getting married at Green Acres Baptist Church. They've chosen to have their ceremony in the foyer of the main building and I can't wait to see how they transform the area. Number one on the list of things a photographer likes to see at a venue: lots of natural light, and this area of the church is simply flooded with it! Happy me!

Marissa and John

Marissa and John will be tying the knot on June 19th at Trinity Episcopal in Longview. Until then, enjoy their engagement session...

Allison and Ikey's Slide Show

I want to share a sweet moment from this wedding with you. Everyone was gathered outside after the reception waiting to light the sparklers and send A&I off in style. Allison's dad came out, called all of the jovial guests to attention and told us that Allison had been waiting for this moment her whole life. Hello pressure! However I live for moments like these, when I get the opportunity to make something you've only imagined a reality! The guests all did their sparkler waving best and the couple made their big get-a-way. So here's the sweet part. While I was editing the photos from the send-off I noticed Allison's dad standing in the background, looking on with a smile, his sparkler held high over his head long after it had burned out. :)

I know, I know...

So the blog hasn't had much love lately, I know. But thankfully this is attributed to all of you keeping me so darn busy! This season is booking up beautifully and I can't wait to start working with all of you and getting to know your stories. I'm still amazed by how many really, genuinely cool people I get to work with. I don't care how many hours I have to spend in the office editing...it's worth it to spend the day in the park laughing and snapping away at a couple doing synchronized heel clicks in front of me (you know who you are!!!)

I promise to love the blog today.

Be nice to each other :)
