Today, tomorrow, and always you are love and wished the best the future brings. ~Best Wishes Saying~

Mackenzie just turned 16 and graduated school so she wanted some pictures to remember this special time in her life.

she also told me she wasn’t photogenic and i would have my work cut out for me… of course she was totally photogenic and i had so much fun talking to her and taking pictures :)

thanks so much for letting me take these special pictures.

June 1, 2010

well a lot has certainly changed since the last time i blogged!

on may 8th matt & i got married! the wedding was wonderful, the weather was lovely everything was just amazing. we went to St. Thomas for our honeymoon and it was beautiful and we had a wonderful time, but there is truly no place like home!

arriving at the airport. neither one of us had ever flown before, needless to say my nerves were about to get the best of me. DSC_7535 so matt calmly waited while i did anything but sit still! ha-ha

DSC_7537 we had just landed in st. thomas and were waiting to go to the resort! DSC_7543

it was a smitten day.

March 8, 2010

oh were to start, i contacted the lovely sharon from smitten to see if i could by chance tag along with her to a wedding, it was above and beyond anything i dreamed of learning, she is so infectious and makes you want to strive to do your best not just at photography, but life in general. her and her husband are packing up and moving to colorado in 3 weeks to live the life that god has called them to. sharon thanks so much it meant the world to me that i got to tag along with you to this amazing wedding.

P.S. Sharon i simply can not wait for my wedding. which is in 2 months!!!!

on to some pictures :)
