Visit with Friends

Here is my first post of Kimberly.  She is my best friend from college and her and I share many memories.  It was great to see her, even if the trip surrounded tragedy.  I love you girl.  Her other best friend Camille was in from Idaho too.  Her sister, Annika and Brad as well as her dad and I all went to dinner and we snapped a few pictures.  I really enjoyed being a part of your family this weekend!  I love you all dearly.

Alexis' Bridal Shoot at her fitting

This fun girl is Alexis.  She is getting married this spring, she invited me to her fitting to do her bridal session.  It was an absolute blast!  Her bridesmaids and mom are all laid back and super fun!  I am so looking forward to her wedding day!

Cabin Fever...and what happens!

Ok, so it is just butt cold here, there really is no other term, technical or otherwise to describe it.  The kids are "trapped" as Hava has said, and it takes lots to be creative with our time.  Today, the only thing we could do to keep Hava happy was to let her draw a kitty on her face.  From time to time, we draw whiskers and a nose on her face to make her a kitty, but being that her new favorite phrase (which totally breaks my heart!) is "I do it my self", I allowed her to draw the whiskers herself.  After seeing Hava's masterpiece Gabe asked me to make him a dog. Then I brought out the camera, and Hava wouldn't have any part of having her picture taken, but in perfect Hava and Gabe fashion the boy let me take his picture.  Never do they both want or not want the same thing! So please do enjoy, I sure did!

The Hagers...Sneak Peek

Mike and Nikki are two amazing people, amazingly nice (Nikki) and funny (Mike) but mainly I just love these two people!  I have know Mike for at least 15 years.  We have many fun memories together!  I was dually honored to be their wedding photographer because I got to be their photographer for starters and to see the wedding from all angles, and because I am their friend.  It was an amazingly beautiful wedding and the whole weekend was an absolute blast!  The hotel was so beautiful and restful (for the most part!) So thank you for hosting me and thank you for having me be your photogufus.  Much love and the best of wishes to you both!

My night with Celine!

Tonight I was blessed many times over.  First, that Gary brought me home tickets for the Celine Dion Concert, Second, that I could go.  Third, and most importantly that Martie could go with me. 

What an amazing show!  She can perform and it is a perfect spectacle.  Every note, her pitch, everything...perfect.  She not only was amazing as an artist, she talked like she was talking right to me.  It was so personal, she is so normal and relaxed, yet an amazing professional.  It was an exceptional night.  I do have to say that God was present for me there too.  I felt touched by the spirit, and her words spoke to me in ways I needed to hear.  I feel rejuvenated!  Too be honest, I felt like going would be a fun night out, but nothing amazing.  I was so blessed!  I had an amazing time!  Thanks Celine!

Jack Attack!

This sweet chunk of love is my neighbor.  I am blessed enough to live on a street with stay at home moms and kids galore.  It makes this frigid place a little more tolerable!  Jack is just about 6 months old.  His mom and I do play days as frequent as we can, and this little guy is just so fun to watch grow!  He loved posing and has a real love for the lens.  As you can see he is a model already!

Thanks Rachelle and Kyle!
