Hunter Hayes!!!!

Hunter Hayes is such a cutie!  KVOO held a pre-voo private concert with Hunter at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill for a few lucky listerners and I got to be the photographer!  It was so much fun and I am so thankful for the opportunity!  Here is a link to the gallery with all of the photos!

The S & B Wedding

I got to shoot the sweetest wedding.  I fell so blessed to have been there to capture this wonderful day!  Here are a few sneek peeks...

Mute Monday--Memorial Day

A Rock Star Birthday!

Last week my girl turned 10 and we did it up in style! She is usually the sporty girl, all into soccer, but this year she wanted something different. We went out and shopped for the perfect outfit and then did a photoshoot (of course)!

And then for the Party People...

All of these designs were created by HeartnSoulPhoto and are available for purchase for $25 for digital download and are fully customizable.


Now to get to the Party Details...

We had such a blast!  Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

Mute Monday

Take the time to make memories...Even you MOM!!!!!

This evening on Facebook, I stumbled upon this post from a fellow photographer, and it stopped me in my tracks...Go here and read this letter and then come back...I'll wait.

Did you read it?  If you did, this will be a little blurry right now because if your like me, your crying.     

Oh my gosh.... this letter gets me right at the core.   There is nothing I wouldn't give for one more picture of my mother and I together. This February she has been gone 10 years.  She was like most of us mothers....myself included.  Always worried about the few pounds we've gained, the new wrinkle or grey hair.    I've said this same thing on my blog before...how important it is to put aside how critical we are of ourselves and just take the picture...but I have to admit that I find myself doing this very thing....hiding behind the camera and taking pictures but never getting in front of the camera. And that's not fair to my husband or my kids. But you know what?  These people in your life, your family...they love you. Just the way you are.  In fact, they wouldn't have you any other way.  So....of all the resolutions I have considered for the new year, I think I will make this my top priority...to be a part of the memories I preserve for my family. This is the last pic I could find that I am actually IN with my daughter.  I think its from like kindergarten.  And now she is in the 4TH GRADE!!!!

So as I said before, I will be in more of the photos, rather than just the one taking them.  And I hope that you will take this to heart...Life doesn't wait...don't just record it, jump in and be a part.  I am sure we have all heard it before, but it's still just as true. The past is over, the future is uncertain, all we have for sure is this moment.  That's why its called the Present.

No words...

I really love the idea of letting an image speak for itself, so every Monday I will post an image with no words...Mute Monday.  Enjoy!

It's a New Year!!!!

Happy 2012!  A new year, a new beginning...I love Happy Beginnings, almost as much as I love Happy Endings.   This new year will bring blessings...I have faith!  Lots of new changes here.  Look around the site.  Although I have had to make some increases in pricing, I will still remember those of you who come back for more!  Ask me about customer loyalty advantages!   And for those of you who come back and bring a friend, you will be rewared as well!  Well...I have rambled enough.  I will leave you with a wish...That the best of your yesterdays be the worst of your tomorrows....Have a great 2012!
