So are you guys ready for some warm weather or what!?! This weather is ridiculous! Bring on the sun!! Anyways, enough complaining, we'll have plenty of sunshine and photos shoots soon!!
Here are some random Thursday thoughts:
- We've been working hard on albums all winter and are so excited to see them in person!! We're also ordering several new sample albums so that's pretty exciting too :)
- We have an intern! Her name is Hanna and she's super sweet! We're sooooo lucky to have her!
- I've got a really exciting secret experimental photoshoot this weekend and that's all I'm going to say on the blog. Ladies, I'll tell ya all about it in person!!
- We did our first engagement shoot of 2010 yesterday in the cold. Lisa & Nathan were total troopers. They were so cute & energetic we had no problems making fun pictures despite the freezing temps.
- I have a new obsession, it's Jazzercise. Yep... it's awesome.
- Dan and I are getting really excited about all of the engagement shoots we have lined up for March & April. If you are one of these people we would love, love, love for you to be thinking of cute fun ideas that match your style as a couple, so we can talk about it and get you the cutest pics ever. Here are some places to get ideas: Green Wedding Shoes, Style me Pretty, Once Wed to name a few. Type in engagements or select engagements under categories.
- This year I would like to do engagement shoots in the following locations: a sunflower field, at a fair, at a farmer's market, something with big, gigantic balloons, something with a canoe... and that's just off the top of my head. Let's do some different, fun things this year!
Sooooo excited about 2010!!!!!
Last weekend we went to Mooresville, NC to an engagement party for our friends Michelle & Christopher. Michelle is part of my NC friend group that I'm always talking about. If you're a regular reader of our blog you've probably seen photo shoots with most of my girls :)
It was a Mardi Gras themed party :) and I was super excited because this is the first dress up event I've been to with these girls in forever and not also been a vendor!

Hello Friends!
Since it's winter, which is our slower time, I thought I'd post a few pics from our life. All of the pics in this post are from our farm, where Dan and I live. They were all taken in two days --- one early afternoon and one late afternoon. The horses are my familys and our next door neighbor. The two dogs are my sisters, their names are Max & Bernie. She brings them out to the farm to run around. Her dog Max is crazy and really needs it... It'll be pretty obvious which one is Max :). Two barn cats are Khaki and Stumpy. I'm in love with Khaki. My mom is going to love this post and say, "I'm going to need a copy of all of those..." That's just my prediction.
Notes: Everything in this set was done with a couple new tools we've gotten this winter. We used the Lens Baby and processed only with TRA's new Lightroom presets.
Enjoy!
A few more with the Instax --- so fun! Pony on the left is my favorite and Gracie on the right is Dan's favorite horse.
And lastly, I took this one last fall, a Christmas present for my mom.
Marty says:
I want one of ALL of these! Please!!
Michelle says:
These pics are great! Can't wait to visit the farm.

I just wanted to quickly post the guestbook we did for the wedding we are currently working on, Katie & Jeremiah. I never got a chance to blog their engagement session because we did the shoot & album all really fast before Christmas and sadly, sometimes there's just not enough time to post everything.
If you don't know that much about our guestbooks, they are a GREAT thing to do with your engagement photos -- I mean seriously what else are you going to do with all those cute photos of yourself!? So here's the deal, we layout all of your favorites and leave a good amount of white space because that's where the guests sign. We can make lines so that they just sign their name OR we can leave it blank so that they can write a message. It's totally up to you. Email us if you are interested in making a guestbook with your engagement photos and would like more info!
Enjoy!
This is my favorite, favorite picture from their shoot. I just love the way she is looking at him! We used it on the cover and on an inside page and I just wanted to display it big here too ;)
Katie chose a navy blue leather for her guestbook which was a 6x9 in size --- her wedding colors were navy and silver -- very appropriate, I think, for a winter wedding!
This would be the inside cover on the left and the first page on the right.
