Tom & Laura

First and Foremost, Congratulations to Tom and Laura on their recent engagment!! I am thrilled with the opportunity to be the photographer for their wedding this June. I had such a great time shooting their engagment photos this past weekend! Now heres the hard part, trying to pick only a few of my favorites to highlight









The couple had a great idea to have some photos done with their new pup Riley. I was excited about giving this a try. Well Riley he had another thing in mind. He jumped into the water and started running back and forth having a good old time. We ended up not getting quite the shots we had in mind because Riley was alittle to wet for close ups but I ended up with some really nice shots of them playing with the dog : )

Just Got out

So the Blog Police arrested me last Thursday.... I just got out. Apparently lack of blogging is means for a stint in the clink. My week off gave me lots and lots of time to think about what to put in this blog, but then I forgot it all because the guy in the cell next to me wouldnt shut up!! Kept clanging his dang metal cup against the Thundermug!

So I guess I'll give you alittle glimpse into my weeks before.

School at St. Kates is as good as it can be, holding strong to my A's as my classes continue to get harder.

Got a nice little break with some ladies when Janet hosted a wonderful ladies night. I forget how fun a hearty dose of estrogen can really be. We joked about being big dorks and if we should talk about biking all night, then we spent the whole night talking about biking and laughing. Okay, I guess there was some climbing discussions along with sex, drugs, and rock n roll. and maybe a game or two. Wait all of that still pertains to biking. I guess were just big dorks : )



I drug Andy to a Reba Concert and I think he liked it ; ). Reba is by far one of my all time favorite singers. She is even more amazing in concert. She performed with Kelly Clarkson, never been much of a fan but I left the concert pretty amazed. Way to go Kelly!! She sings this great song called "A Beautiful Disaster" Good stuff, especialy with a Reba Duet.


Even Barbara Jean (Melissa Peterman) from the Reba TV Show Made an apperance at the concert. She was hilarious!! Putting on a Red Wig and prancing around like she was Reba. Good Times!! She even sang the theme song "Im a survivor" with the gals. Pushing Kelly out of the way so she could sing with Reba, Hilarious!!

Hmmm. What else.. I did another fun engagment shoot with a couple, however I havent delivered the photos yet so no sneak peak for you right now.

Shooting a wedding on the 8th of November which should be good times.

E- I will post pictures of the baby, I swear I really will!!

I also did my first family photo shoot, that was interesting. Three super sweet and cute kids until they missed their nap times then I'll just say that the photo fun ended.

My work (AKA Real Job) has been hit by the economic downturn as I am sure everyones has. They will be doing some layoffs. This has made things very interesting and stressful at work as of late. Its rumored that they will be doing the layoffs tomorrow or Monday. I dont think it should effect me but thats the fun part of layoffs, you just never really know. So Im spending some time looking into what I would want to do in the event I dont have a job any longer. I think school would become a full time gig so I am looking at it as a postive thing. If I get laid off then I go to school full time and will be done that much faster. I guess im lucky that between photography and massage I can pretty much just pick up more of those items and still be sitting pretty good.

I'm also sad today because there was a lost puppy in the swamp by my work, a few of us went into the swamp trying to find the puppy but weren't able to find it, he was howling but has stopped now. Hopefully he will be alright and find his way out. Its like a jungle in there, poor guy!

Okay well thats enough for now. I will post photos in a few days of some of my recent projects. Don't forget to vote. Blah, blah, blah.....
