Weddings in the air!

I'm getting nervous guys! I took pictures for Andrew & Tasha in their wedding get up and I felt really good doing that, after all, they already had their actual wedding day pictures. I felt even better when I saw how many of them ended up on their wall. But this is a little different!

On Friday I will be taking pictures for Melanie & Brannan ON their wedding day! I'll be doing their group and family pictures as well! It is going to be a challenge, half of the Idaho Falls temple grounds are under construction, and I want the weather to be just right!

I've also been in communication with a friend of a friend about doing her wedding pictures, I gave her a quote and she is just picking her package. Kind of crazy scary and exciting!

Schultz Family

What A Special Little Family!

These are my dear friend's family photos. Arom was on leave from his deployment to Iraq, so we snatched up the opportunity to take some more pictures! Megan is such a strong women to be raising Ayla on her own until her husband can return for good. I am so thankful to have such a role model in my life! I am thankful for Arom's military service. It takes brave and courageous people to fill that role!

Ryan and I were also able to attend the temple with them while Arom was home. It was great to go again and it was a blessing for both our families. We had much too fun with them at dinner :)

<3 You Guys!

Baby Brooklynn

I'm waiting until I get some of my professional photos back from the wedding photographer to post. So until then, you are just going to have to wait.

One of my best friends gave birth to a beautiful baby girl 1.5 weeks ago. I had the wonderful experience of attending that birth and taking pictures as Brooklynn was born. What a beautiful, darling girl! I hope mommy and daddy are enjoying her!

They're in reverse order :/

Embarrassing Moment #980578

So this afternoon Ryan and I went to check out a washing machine for our new apartment. I'd texted the guy that was selling them, asked a few questions, and set up an appointment.

Fast forward to 10:30pm tonight. Walking home from a chick flick with my girlies, and sending a text to Ryan that "watching chick flicks without [him] is dangerous..." THEN realizing that I didn't send it to him. I accidentally sent it to the guy that we'd gone and looked at washers with. AND HE KNEW EXACTLY WHO IT WAS. Can you say "AWK-WARD"?! I at once texted him sorry wrong number, but the damage was done. He politely responded, "awkward. now i know you watch chick flicks by yourself. just kidding you're awesome. talk to you tomorrow". HOLY COW. If we buy this washer, and we ARE, I'm going to have to like... see him... and know he got that awkward text message.

Boy am I glad it didn't say something like, "I Love You", or "Can't wait to see you again and kiss your lips off". THAT would really be embarrassing!

I am loving learning more about my camera. While some of the things my teachers says are all mumbo jumbo, I've got some of the concepts down. Like aperture and shutter speed. Now I FINALLY understand. Ahh... such a moment.

We're not allowed to do anything with our pictures editorially, except crop. This has proved interesting and fascinating. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, but it is still impossible for me to get it perfect. So in the spirit of that, these photos are not edited.

Today was gorgeous, minus the high winds, but the sunset and twilight hour were marvelous. I think these pictures look like they belong in fall time, but I took them just today. Crazy what cold and snow can preserve for months!
