A Tribute

This is a tribute to someone VERY special to me. It is my husband.

He is such a caring and devoted father to his children. I couldn’t picture anyone better suited to be the father of my child.

He is a caring and devoted husband to me, putting my needs and wants ahead of his own. Making sure I’m taken care of no matter what he must sacrifice. I feel blessed to have found the perfect man for me. God gave me the BEST pick of the litter.

Chris,

I love you and I wouldn’t change you for the world!

Zoo fun

To end our week with Josie, we took the kids to the zoo. This was something Josie has been begging about and we wanted to reward her for being such a good big sister to Bryce while Chris got album designs and photo editing out of the way. Her are some tokens of what we went home with.

Josie was feeding the fish and when I looked down at Bryce, I saw this.
Pretty much straight out of the camera.

The Zoo has a new butterfly exhibit that Josie and I went in to. We couldn't stay for too long because it was getting ready to mist everything. Not good for the camera.

This an AWESOME image that Chris captured.
It reminds me of the flower in Alice and Wonderland under the tree that's all alone.

A collage of all the beautiful flowers Chris photographed.
He's such an AWESOME detail artist.

Josie doesn't usually get to go on the horse ride, we let her go this time.
See how she's proudly showing off her crown my mom got her the day before?

I love monkeys, I really wish we could have one for a pet, maybe just not the grandpa looking ones. Those freak me out. :)

I took bottom two, but I think I like Chris' better.

I love how much they love each other. This one is on my desktop.

Working for Burkhart

Have I said how much I love my job. I am so pleased to announce that 2 of my pictures have been published on the graphic designer for Burkhart. When you land on the page, its MY image. How exciting? I still need to obtain a copy of the Gift Shop Magazine that my pictures were in. All I have to say is, thank you my husband for pushing me to dream again, but most importantly to God, for giving the gift and ability to do what I do. I am truly blessed.

Jeff & Stephanie : E-Session

Stephanie has become one of our biggest fans, preaching the word according to Guided Light Photography all over the Knot. I was so happy to finally get together with them to shoot their engagement session. They are two hard working people and have become friends of mine. Congratulations guys, I can't wait for your big day.


Ps. Their slide show is soon to come, stay tuned.

Lunch with Josie

Chris has been getting Josie every Tuesday while Jessica goes to work. They pick me up most of the time for lunch and we go to the park. Last week, I had my camera with me and decided to take some pictures.

This is probably one of my favorite shots of the day.

This one is equally my favorite.

Bryce's First Picnic

Two weeks ago, Chris and I took the kids on a picnic at the school by our house. This was Bryce's first picnic. Chris wanted to use the "yummy light" so we waited to go until about 7:30-8pm. He did such an awesome job with these pictures. Some of them are Bryce's 9 month old pictures, but I also took some others as well, I'll try to post those today too.

This one cracks me up. Can she put her tongue through that missing tooth any harder? :)

Bryce loves his mommy.

This picture was hard to take because he had one foot and one arm in the air most of the time.

Bryce going down the slide for the first time.

Josie wanted to play, not take pictures.

E-Sessions

I'm a little behind as I've been trying to create price lists for next year and design the new brochure. Here a few E-sessions I haven't had the chance to post yet.




We have a wedding teaser on there as well. Stephanie and Jeff's e-session is Sunday, so I will have more then.

I will be posting the kids' pics sometime today or tomorrow.

Day in the Life of Business

We are planning on having a fun, but slow weekend. After this weekend, we have 6 weddings in a row.

We'll have Josie all week long so that will be a blessing. She leaves July 19th to go with her Grandma and Grandpa to Disney World. She goes every year and comes back with more and more stories. Last year's highlight was going to Red Lobster. Not sure why they went to Red Lobster while on the ocean.

With all the wedding bliss we have, it is keeping Chris very busy working on pictures, album design, engagement sessions, and most recently, a slide show for a bride and groom. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by all these gorgeous brides & grooms. The love permeates our home every time they enter our door. It leaves a lasting effect on both of us.

Bryce now has 7 teeth. The last 3 he cut at once two weeks ago. That explained A LOT about his crankiness. He's trying so hard to walk. Taking two steps towards us or around us before he falls back down on his butt.

Tonight, we're talking about going to watch the fireworks at the cove. We aren't sure if either of the kids will be able to sit through the game, but we may sit outside Transpo to watch from a distance. We'll see what happens.

Last time Josie was here, Chris took some GREAT pictures of the kids for Bryce's first picnic. I'm hoping to get those posted today or tomorrow. Along with the links to our E-Sessions we have on our GLP blog. Have a WONDERFUL weekend!
