Abilene Bridal Expo

Yesterday I participated in the Bridal Expo in Abilene. After three months of planning and organizing I finally got to see it all come together. I am so grateful to my wonderful friends who help me this weekend. I could not have done this without them. Thank you guys! You mean the world to me.

So let me just say that my face hurts from smiling so much, but it was worth it. It was so good to get out there and meet new people. If you were at the bridal fair I want to thank you for stopping by my booth. I would love to meet with you and learn more about your wedding day and photography needs. Please contact me to setup an appointment.

Thanks again everyone!

Amazing People: My family

Photobucket

I was looking over all my Christmas pictures that I have not even posted yet and just kept thinking how amazing all these people are. Normally this post is just about one person, but today it's lots of people. These amazing people are the most important people in my life. They have taken care of me and loved me no matter what. I am so blessed to have them in my life. I know that not every one of my family members are in these pictures, but this shout out goes to them to. If you are in my family please know you mean the world to me.

These pictures are straight out of camera. But I love the emotion and the meaning they hold. Please all me to introduce to you, my family!

My grandpa!

Weekend Getaway

Last weekend Andy and I stayed at a the Star of Texas Bed and Breakfast in Brownwood. It was a surprise for Andy before he deployed. We had a nice time and enjoyed just relaxing. Our favorite part though was the llama. That's right! A llama! When we arrived our host told us about their art trail that we could walk on. He also warned us that they had a friendly llama that would accompany us on this hike. At first I did not think he was serious. He told us all about how to "speak" llama by blowing in his face and how sometimes this llama likes to run up behind young ladies and kiss their neck.
So the next day we begin our hike and sure enough the llama joins us! We spent quite some time blowing in his face so he would like us. I am sure it was a pretty funny site. Mr. llama followed us during the entire 1 mile trail. And sure enough, at the very end of the hike he ran up from behind me to kiss my neck. Fair warned I still did not expect this and reacted as such. Andy got a big kick out of my fear.

It was such a fun hike and nice weekend. Check the place out if you want a quaint getaway,

Please forgive my appearance. I was super sick.

Bridal: Ashlee

Before I moved to Texas I had never heard of bridal sessions. This is something that Indiana brides just don't normally do. But bridals portraits are a BIG deal in Texas. So my dear friend Ashlee agreed to model for me so I could build my portfolio. We had so much fun. And let me just say that after 4 and 1/2 years of being married she still looks so good in her dress. I know I can't fit into my wedding dress any more. :)
Thanks so much Ashlee for hanging out with me and battling the hay!
