There comes a time..........

Loving the days.

I am counting down the days til my vacation...I feel like by the time it gets here, I'll have "earned" it.  I know that is kinda weird...but sometimes I feel that hard work and dedication can have that "reward".  At least every year, my hubby and I simply celebrate every year we are married by jetting off somewhere without technology and reconnect.  I think it doesn't matter WHERE you go, but go somewhere you will enjoy....and reconnect with your loved ones. 

So, I have to pause and be back....cause I have a shoot with a GI coming up. :)

TTYL!

A nice, WINDY, weathery day at the FAIRE!

I wanna say CONGRATS to Dana and Stephen....they are now officially married...
I know there is even more to their story...how they met, how all this came to be...it was definitely unique...and always more to tell. ;)  For now, I give you some quickie pics. :)

Handfasting Ceremony + Bagpipes walk to Reception!

Hatchet Throwing.

At one point, she had THREE butterflies on her and she didn't know :)  I captured this lil guy.

WEDDING FEAST.

I still have lots of wedding goodies to feast upon.  But here is a mix of things I did so far........some very simple.........some not even really edited.  Some just awesome...some just u know.

LINDSEY + SAM

thank you ladies for bearing with me to get this shot!!!! :) LOVE THIS

truly, do they take bad pictures ever? Not according to the wedding party.

I fell in love with this mirror.

 IAN + AMANDA

Finally, happily ever after. :)

The trees say "you are blessed".

I find myself up late again...making some more art...realizing in all these times...I find exactly out more about myself...as i'm helping others with their dream....i'm still living my own.

I love when ego steps aside and truly passions can come alive and be CELEBRATED.

there is much more to come...but first...i need to fly home.

thank you to Julie and her family.
This experience was priceless...and quite moving....
I can't wait to see where things go for me and for her.

I can't wait to see what lies ahead in the very near future...as I complete my creative tasks of my weddings...and very soon, shoot some more special things...that will produce memories and artwork.

SUPER SUPER congrats to Lord and Lady FERGUSON!!!!!

So! I took a trip down to Sherwood Forest...to capture the lovely day of Ian and Amanda!!!!! We found each other online...and so it goes, the day of awesome...which finally tied the knot in their love for each other and the beginning of their marriage before friends/family. :)

I'm eternally greatful I took the opportunity to hear their story...of how they overcame many struggles to get to this day. In my views, this made us ALL a little more thankful for this day to happen and celebrate. It couldn't have gone better...and the moments with friends & family won't soon be forgotten. :)

TEASERS from their day:  Ian and Amanda

All my friends and family that could make it, made it. :)
I love you Zak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 7 years!

I had my sister and 3 cousins be a part of my day...and my niece & nephew!!!!

What's behind the curtain???!!!??? REVEALED!!!!!

I know I know, I'm so silly, but i have fun in life!!!!

This painting was done many years ago when we first moved into this house....this was something of Zak's he built himself...and had at his bachelor pad...and instead of tossing it out - I made some art out of it.  It is QUITE large...and fun to look at...but most days, it is hiding behind the curtain. :)

The next time you come over, ask to view it...and then tell me what you see....:)
