We're Back!

What a wonderful trip we had! We went to Bermuda to celebrate our annivesary (and the kids stayed home - thanks Nana, Papa and Grandma for watching them!) The water was gorgeous, the weather was perfect (high 70s and sunny!) And what made it even better was hearing about all the snow they were getting at home! We stayed at Cambridge Beaches, which I can't recommend enough! Everyone was so friendly and the service was excellent. Plus the rooms had amazing views and were huge! So if you're planning a trip to Bermuda any time soon, check out Cambridge Beaches. I told Drew that I'm glad we booked this trip a long time ago since it was before the economy started to fall apart. We definitely would have held off going if we had waited to book it just because it seems like the whole world is in flux right now. But I'm thrilled we got to go - it was worth every penny!

Now we're home and getting back into the routine of everyday life. Here are a few of the pictures from our trip (I know, there's a lot, but it was really wonderful!)

Christmas Orders...

Just a reminder that all Christmas orders must be placed on or before November 20, 2008 in order to guarantee Christmas delivery. This includes print and custom card orders.

Also, I will be on vacation until Tuesday, November 19. I will return e-mails and phone calls when I get back.

Sarah & Greg

Halloween night... Could you think of a date that would be more fun for a wedding? I don't think so! This wedding was an absolute blast! Patti (Sarah's mom) contacted me a few months back and asked if I'd be interested in covering the wedding and of course I said YES!! She told me the reception was costumed, so I couldn't wait to see what everyone came up with. I love Halloween and the idea of a Halloween wedding sounded like a great time!

And I was right! All the ghosts, goblins and witches came out for the event (heck, even that creepy Burger King dude made an appearance!) Everyone was in character (as you can see from the pictures!) In the wedding party alone there was a devil, Jack the Ripper, Jose Cuervo, a couple of winged creatures, a mobster, a sportsfan and a witch! I got a real good laugh out of watching the Ninjas serve coffee! That's something you don't see every day!

Thanks for letting me be a part of your day, Sarah & Greg! You were made for each other and I have no doubt that you will be together for a very, very long time!

Happy Halloween!

Ok, so I'm a bit late posting this. But better late than never, right? Yesterday was a but of a crazy day for us here. Colin's pre-k class had a halloween party, then we went out to do trick-or-treating before I had to leave for a very cool halloween wedding last night. Phew! But we made it through - and more importantly, the kids got tons and tons of candy! They're still working off the sugar buzz. Tonight I am shooting my little sister's sweet 16 party, so they'll get a chance to dance it off! It's been a busy 2 weeks here for sure!

The kids always crack me up on halloween. You would think they had never had candy before. The way their eyes light up when people put candy into their bags is just hilarious! You can always tell when they "get it" too - all of a sudden they look up at us like "so all we have to do is go up to a house and people actually give us candy??!!" And then they literally run from house to house from that point on.

Meg couldn't get enough of her lollipop!

The kids actually sat down together!!! *shock* Not the best spot for a pic, but hey, I was just happy to have them still for a second! And see the bruise/cut on Meg's nose? That's courtesy of Colin. The other day when we had all the snow the kids were having snowball fights and Colin threw a snowball at Meg that had ice in the middle (he had no idea). Needless to say it hit her square in the face and she's been sporting a nice bruise and some cuts. Poor little girl!

Meggie loved the masks! This mask is for Kourtnie's party tonight!

Congratulations Jessica & Joe!

What a fun wedding this was! The ceremony was beautiful, the bride radiant and they were surrounded by all of their friends and family. I can honestly say I have never, ever seen such a long conga line! I really believe all 200+ guests joined in with it. It rained (and "rained" might be putting it lightly - it poured and that combined with the wind made for some nasty weather), but that was ok too because it became part of the day. The umbrellas became props and the rain soaked windows added atmosphere. Jessica & Joe had a beautiful day despite the weather - they made it beautiful with their smiles and laughter.

One really special touch was the fact that Adrienne, Jessica's sister, hired out the Roberson Mansion for pictures after the ceremony. We had a ball going from room to room and picking out different scenes to play. It was a perfect indoor place to shoot!

Here's a few of my favorites from the day. Enjoy!

CONGRATULAIONS TARA!!!

I just got an e-mail from Tara's mom telling me that is the 2008 Homecoming Queen! Congraulations Tara! I'm so excited for you!! (And look for a little something special in your order!) :)

Here's beautiful Tara from her senior session...

Abbie & Tim

This couple was truly made for each other! Add to that the fact that they were cracking each other (and me!) up during the entire shoot and you can imagine how much fun we had! We walked around town a bit before deciding to take the session into the woods. They are getting married next fall and I'm so excited about it! If the e-session was this much fun - imagine what the wedding will be like!

Here's a couple of shots for you!





And my favorite!
