Marq+Nina : Wedding

Sooo I'm back from Mexico and it is a little disheartening to return to the reality of life when you've been in paradise with crystal blue water and no cell phone reception...but alas...good things almost always come to an end. I think if I lived that way everyday though I would take it for granted so it's nice to be able to appreciate the opportunity of being in such a beautiful place....it can't help but stir up worship in your heart for the one who created it all!
The wedding unfortunately was not able to take place in Mexico as planned due to the cruise ship we were taking to Cozumel changing their itinerary the morning we were supposed to disembark. Sooo we basically threw a wedding together at the Hotel Galvez in Galveston, Texas in about 24 hours. If you are ever in Galveston you should stay at the Hotel Galvez because not only is it a beautiful hotel, the staff there was amazing and they were so accommodating. What could have turned out to be a disaster instead ended up being a huge blessing that allowed more family and friends to join Marq and Nina on this very special day! While a little crazy, it was one of the more fun times I've had in life and it was neat to see friends and family pull together to make this wedding happen and watch everyone take the lemons we seemed to be given and make some lemonade! Here is a little preview!

I'm off to Mexico!

I will be in Mexico until Tuesday to shoot a wedding...I should have email at some point so I will try to answer emails when possible. Otherwise I will get in touch when I get back on Wednesday! Thanks for your patience!

Jenny and Nate

I did a family session last weekend with Jenny and Nate and their family. I will post some of the family in my next post, but wanted to put up some of my favorites from the session I did with these two after the family part was over. They are adorable aren't they?

Marq+Nina

Marq and Nina are getting married in Mexico...and guess who is going??? ME! There is nothing better than a working vacation and hanging out with friends and sharing in their special day! These two just got engaged last week and we are leaving for Mexico in about 2 weeks so we had to get with it and do some engagements and bridals ASAP! Here is a shot from their engagement session and the minute I took it I loved it because I felt like I caught a moment of their story...and that's what I adore about creating photographs....and I love it even more in black and white! Enjoy!

On the Go

July has been a busy month! I am leaving town tomorrow again to go to Mississippi for a few days. I've been bad at blogging lately, but my NEW BLOG will be up in the next few weeks. The pictures are going to be bigger, which makes me super happy. It will also be easier to leave comments, which is not quite so easy to do on this blog. So all of you out there better start leaving lots of comments! =)

So stay tuned for that announcement and enjoy your week!

To all you blogaholics out there....this rocks!

If you look at like a billion blogs a day like myself then I have a fabulous invention for you! My friend Karyn just introduced me to Bloglines. It saves me so much time! You can register all of the blogs you like to check out and then you can just log into bloglines and it tells you if there are any new posts on the blogs that you check. So you don't waste a ton of time going to people's blogs when they haven't even posted anything! So go check it out and claim some of your life back from cyberspace and you can thank me later!

Thinking music

I love music....iTunes is not a safe place for me. This week has been filled with editing and some time to think. June was crazy with weddings, but things are finally shifting down to a slower pace. Tomorrow I'm leaving to visit one of my best friends in Kansas City and while I will still be editing some sessions, it will be a good break to get away and see some new sights. Music changes with my moods and so as I'm able to slow down and little and take more time to "smell the roses" if you will, these albums have been all over my ipod this week. So check them out if you need some good thinking music.
