Happy Happy Birthday Baby!

Well if you havent met him yet you are missing out. There has even been talk of cloning him so others can have him too. I am talking about the man who lights my fire... my phenominal husband Daniel (the other half of the name)! Today is his 40th birthday and I just wanted to tell him publicly that I love him and dont know what i would do without him. I love ya babe! I am in awe of the fact that God gave you to me. Your smile and laugh are enough to keep me going always, and ya know what I know that you love me that much back! Hes the chocolate syrup on this very vanilla lady.



So far I would say he has had a great bday. There was a party last night with a few friends and a canoe.... more on that later I am sure. And today we are leaving for Taos to White Water Raft! We have wanted to for a while and decided there was no better time.



Happy Birthday Scoot Daddy... I love you big as the world ball! Now come home and take me rafting!






PS if you are waiting on your images to be posted... we really are working on them. Now that classes are back i have both my amazing gals and they are trying to help me get caught up. CHECK BELOW TO SEE JENNIFER & NATHAN's wedding...More to come very very soon!

Jennifer & Nathan - THEY DO.... FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!

FUN! Thats all I have to say! The Bride is nutso, the groom is loony and the wedding party needs to be admited to the Rubber Ramada, other than that it was a blast..HA! Really though I laughed, I cried, I shot like a mad woman, and I felt ALIVE! There was never a dull moment and thats how I like it. Jennifer and Nathan were all about having fun. They never took them selves to serious. They made a conscience decision to make sure this was the best day of the lives and I know I loved it. The pics below say much more than a thousand words.... just look at the way he looks at her... and yes he carried her off the stage after the wedding... I know so romantic is makes ya sick. I love you guys and miss ya way off in Tennessee. I know these first few months of your marriage have been blessed and amazing, cant wait to see you guys when you come home! HUGS!

Julie loves Jake

Laughter~ As i looked back through these images from 3 months ago to finally blog, I remembered the laughter. Julie and Jake are not only in love they are in, what my 12 yrs old sister and her friends refer to as "like like"! They have a BLAST together! When i met Julie at the Harvest cafe in Midland I was in "like like" with her immediately. Her laughter is contagious and makes you all happy inside. She never holds back and and always smiles/laughs with her whole being. We hit it off instantly and she hired me to shoot their amazing wedding in Minnesota (more on that later). We also decided that Albuquerque(where they live) was perfect for some kiss hiney engagement photos...so off I flew! The moment Julie & Jake picked me up from the airport I knew that Jake and I would most definitely have fun! He's the perfect yin to Julie's yang. When she laughs he does too and not in that fake isnt she cute way but in the "shes freakin awesome and I "like like' her way"! We enjoyed relaxing with Fritzie (more of her later) the wackest cat ever and sitting in there fabulous back yard in the mountains outside of town. They were perfect host/hostesses (umm thanks again guys for EVERYTHING..haha). Being the location junky that I am I was a little over whlemed by all my sick options. But with them in tow we took care of business. I was so blessed to get to spend the weekend with them and some of their uh hmmm interesting friends. It made the wedding even more special because I wasnt just there as a photographer I felt like their friend! Now the poor darlings are cruising and touring Prague for a couple of weeks... its a hard knock life for them! Enjoy the images and look for the wedding in the next couple of days. Congrats you guys... you totally ROCK!
