I knew there was a reason I could not sleep this morning! As I laid in bed staring at my clock thinking does it really say 5:46 AM? Yeah it did so I checked my emails and played WORDS with friends waiting for the time to be closer to 6 AM, trying so very hard not to wake Adam. All of a sudden I get this email from Amanda at Bliss Weddings and Events telling me one of my photo entries had been chosen as a top ten finalist! How exciting!!

My husband Adam and I have never really been into Valentines day. Depending on that day it falls on we just call it “Happy Sunday.”
To us it is just like any other day, but I know a lot of people do celebrate it and I think that is wonderful!
So in honor of it being Valentines day, I wanted to say congratulation to all of you newly engaged couples! Also sending much love to all of my married and already engaged clients!!
As cheesy as it may seem, I love love. Everything about from those first butterflies you get on the first date, to the anticipation of “is he going to kiss me or not?”
I just can not get enough of it! The look of pure happiness on the brides face as she walks down the isle to marry her best friend. Man, it gets me every time.
I appreciate my job so much, seeing that I get to capture the love they have for one another. It’s magical.
Today like I said was like any other Sunday. Adam and I lounged around in the morning, and then gave Samson a bath. We cleaned and reorganized our room. We cooked a yummy mushroom onion pot roast and watched a movie. The perfect day – the best part was that we were together.
So here is to being with the one you love every day.
Don’t get Samson wrong. He really does like getting a bath!! Hee Hee

I have know this family since 2008 & love it when they call me to photograph their beautiful very energetic daughter C.
You might remember C from her “Candy Girl” blog post! Her mother always picks out the cutest outfits! For C’s 4th birthday her mom threw her a wonderful Cider Mill party & she wanted her 4 year old picture to have a “country” feel to them. I think we captured that & it also helped that she had the cutest cowgirl boots!!!
FACEBOOK PRO’s:
Adding me as a friend helps me get to know who you are better. At C’s session I was able to talk to her more one on one because I saw that she got to go to American Girl in Chicago for her birthday. C was so excited & opened up to me more because we had something in common, as a child I loved American Girl – so I had lots of questions & she was able to relax.
I look forward to next year!!! :] The BIG 5!!

Jamie & Aaron’s wedding had a big lead up seeing that we did two engagement session & had a blast on both! I couldn’t wait to photographer their crazy in love wedding!
Their wedding took place on 7-11 so of course we had to get our FREE 7.11 oz Slurpee! It was a perfect way to refresh ourselves!
I hope you all remember M.G. (Mountain Goat) of course he played a BIG part in the wedding day – so it was very fitting to see him & his new mate on top of the wedding cake! I had to seal him for their wedding ring shots as well! It just wouldn’t have been right without him!!
The Story of M.G.
“A” went to England for what would be their first Christmas together, he said he was going to wait to buy J’s Christmas present in England. She was thinking “cool, its going to be something sweet!” Well when he returned he was super excited to give J her gift. J was kinda hyped about it when all of a sudden he pulled this little toy mountain goat out of his pocket, smiling he said “isn’t it cool”, J’s response was “yea, where is the real gift, haha.” Well the mountain goat was it, he got it from what is supposedly the worlds biggest toy store in England. Little did he realize this Mountain Goat was manufactured by a popular toy company who even sells the same exact thing at Target. But still she thanked him and has TEASED him relentlessly forever sense. To make sure he never forgets, she brings mountain goat with her whenever she travels and take pictures of him with monuments, people etc. M.G. as we call him, has been to Chile, Argentina, Poland, a few college parties and even President Obamas inauguration. He is quite the traveled goat! And J swears to you, if you ever visit Valdivia, Chile at least 10 people will know of “la cabra.”
The Party was ON after dinner!
Aaron is part of a fraternity & it is one of their “traditions” to play Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believein’” – Here is my favorite shot from their group chant.
As the sun was setting we went outside for a few last shots of the newlyweds!
Lots of love for you to CRAZY love birds!
