Engagements A-Go-Go




It's been super busy the last few weeks and I've neglected my blog :( The good news is, all this time has been very productive, with wedding contracts, portraits, engagements and my first wedding of the year.


I really like doing engagement sessions bc it gives me a chance to get to know the couple and it really forces me to be creative. There are only so many shots of a couple one can take before they look staged and stale. So, I was really excited to start off the year with 2 enagement sessions for two of my wedding couples. These are a few of my favorite shots.

Weddings + Kids

Over the weekend I got a catalog from Oriental Trading Company. I have not idea why, but I have a soft spot for party decorations, stationary, and stupid party favors, all of which the OTC has plently of! One of the things I noticed that was new was a whole slew of wedding themed items designed to keep kids busy at the wedding. I've seen many creative brides put together their own activity packs for kids, but these are a great alternative if you don't have the time or energy to make something yourself. They also have great flower girl and ring bearer sets that are only about $10 each. At that price, you could even get these for all the kids at your reception!

Is this cute, or what?


I finally had time to fit in a my first portrait session of 2007 last weekend. I have been so busy with wedding appointments, it's been hard to find time. Here is one of my favorites from the sitting.

Weddings Unwrapped

I had such a busy week after the bridal show, I needed to get some relaxing time in this past weekend. I am a big fan of the Food Network and on Saturday I watched Weddings Unwrapped. It is a nice break from all the stress-filled wedding shows, like bridezillas or whose wedding is it anyway? All you foodies getting married should check it out when you are feeling like you need a break from all the planning :)
