Adam & Jen’s Engagement + and Exciting Trip!!

Posted in Engagement, Personal

I had the pleasure of photographing Adam and Jen, a couple getting married in November. I enjoyed getting to know them, and I’m really looking forward to their wedding! They are such a fun, genuine couple! Here’s a quick glimpse of our session tonight:

And for some really exciting news….I’m leaving…on a jet plane!! Tomorrow my dad and I fly out to the Grand Canyon for a backpacking trip! My dad, grandpa, and brother have gone together several times, so now it’s my turn! We’ll spend Thursday hiking to the bottom, tent there Thursday and Friday night, hike back up to the top Saturday, and fly back on Sunday.  What a trip! I haven’t been there since I was really young, and I’ve never been on a true backpacking trip, so I am stoked!! It’ll be a much-needed getaway, as I have been way too busy these past couple weeks. I can’t wait to post photos after I get back!

Have a superb week!

Successful day + a funky bug

Posted in 101 in 1001

Thank you to all who stopped by to my booth yesterday at the Everything Bridal Show! It was a very successful day, setting a record number of visitors! To all of you to-be-brides, I hope it was extremely helpful for you as you plan your wedding! An event like that can be so overwhelming, but also very valuable! Here’s a photo of my booth:

The other night, there was a really funky bug on my doorstep, and he decided to stop by again yesterday. What a sweet bug! It makes me laugh that God has the sense of humor to create a bug that looks like a leaf! I wonder what this fella does all day long…as he was on this railing for hours without moving an inch!

Allison,
I love the bug. I think he was posing for you all day long. He loves to have his picture taken. He will probably be in a different spot tomorrow so you can see another side of him. I love looking at your photographs. I wish you much success.

So….does this free one in ten wedding promotion count for those who don’t have a guy yet….just wondering. Love you. You’re great. I have LOVED seeing your work posted often–I probably check your site well around twice a day.
