thankful to capture love. thankful for 2010 weddings.

this past weekend paige and matt were married at the glassell school of art.  i have to say that this wedding was the perfect way to end the season. i just had to grab a couple for you to see before the holiday break.  also, be sure to check out their smilebooth photos.

personal note:  i will be out of the office from 11-22 to 11-28 for the thanksgiving holiday.  excited to rest and relax on a lake in north carolina.  thankful once again.

having a 5 year old scares me. maybe it's because i am getting older too.  stella came into the world screaming and passionate about life and she is still the same.  I am so glad to call her my daughter and to see her become this amazing little lady.  we had her 5th birthday this past weekend and it was so much fun.  she told josh that the one thing she wanted at her party was the smilebooth.  i think she took at least 12 photos by herself at the start of the party.  happy birthday my sweet baby girl.


  

this has nothing to do with photography and everything to do with life. we are in the process of starting a home remodel and i can't wait.  josh and i love design and have had a great time working with our friend to help put all of our favorite ideas together.  It will be nice to have more room for our family of four.  these plans don't show the basic revisions that we will make to the exterior of our current heights home.  we are planning on painting the existing house white as well as making minor updates so it blends well with the new addition!  maybe a metal roof will look nice? 

it is always fun to see your photos in print!  if you have had a chance to pick up southern weddings magazine V3, you know how beautiful it is!  i want every bride i work with to see all of the creative ideas out there!  giving away one magazine to the lucky bride to be!  who wants it?  leave a comment and one lucky person will be chosen!  the picture below is from rachael and jason's 2009 wedding in San Miguel De Allenda.  i loved how all of her wedding party wore a different dress to make things "Carefree".

i am way behind on blogging but feel that my schedule will allow more of it soon.  i took a trip to moab this summer with amazing photographers for our third trip. one of our adventures this trip was taking a rafting trip through the red rocks and it was really fun. i was brave enough to bring my camera on the rapids and purchased a dry sack to make sure it stayed dry.  lucky for the camera, we had one rapid.  :)
