Merry Christmas! As one year ends and another year starts, I cannot help but think of how thankful and blessed I am to have met so many new faces and made so many new friends this year by capturing special moments with the camera! Thank you for your continued support!  There are fun surprises and many new products to come in 2010 so stay tuned!  Wishing you love, joy and happiness this Christmas and New Year! 

 

Let me just start off my saying I have the best hubby ever! All last week he kept telling me that he was taking me on a “secret” date night.  He did so many things to throw me off. He told me to get into the Christmas spirit, that we had a good drive ahead of us, etc. Where did we go?  To a Percy Sledge concert to hear our song/dance to our song “When a man loves a woman” (yes, he took my to a small area and danced with me).  He had heard that Percy Sledge was coming to town while listening to a local radio station last week!  :)

Thanksgiving is such a important holiday. Not only is it a day most spend with family, it also lets us reflect of what we are so thankful for.  I thank god daily for everything he has brought to my life. I am thankful for my husband, my wonderful pup, great clients and loving family and friends. I wanted to share with you all what Chris and I are the most thankful for this Thanksgiving….

……a baby! We are so very excited (okay, and maybe a bit nervous with this being out first)!  Please keep us in your prayers for a healthy and happy pregnancy! Due to being due in June, I will not be taking on any weddings for the June 2010 season.

Here are a couple more!

Don’t you just love how the wind is blowing Jessica’s hair? LOVE IT!!

Okay…I may have made a HUGE mistake. I was told it was the style, but really, know no one that I know has them…yes, I am freakin out!  It was a spare of the moment decision. I just needed my hair trimmed so badly before I went to the beach! As I said it, I could hardly believe the words coming out of my mouth. Those 3 words. “Give me bangs” came out and before I knew it, the scissors were cutting away…..so you may think I am a little dramatic here, but really, it has been the 4th grade since I had bangs!  Yes, it has been that long!  Haha…maybe one day I will get the nerves to post a photo up, but until then, here is a photo of a silver moose taken in Chicago. Happy Wednesday!

Is Beth not gorgeous?! It was such a hot day (like REALLY HOT), but as the sun came down, we got some beautiful images in the “golden light”.  Thanks Beth for being such a great sport! :)

This past weekend was Kiley and Travis’s big day! Their wedding and reception took place in Valdese. What a fun and unique wedding.  The weather was perfect as were all the details!  The theme seen throughout the wedding was “Zebra” with red touches.  I have got to admit, when I heard “Zebra”  I was a bit puzzeled as to how it would work.  However, it was so fun and classy (more on the details in the next post)! Here are a few images from the day! 

 The wedding party…..:)

The next Mr and Mrs……see you in 20 years kids!

Here are some images of the lovely Tori. We had planned on heading downtown, but ended up doing the images literally in her backyard!  It was great to see you again Tori!
