Creepin’ back in

Can I just say that I miss weddings TERRIBLY. I miss packing my bag the night before and the smell of all of the plastic from my camera gear. I miss James Brown, Frank Sinatra, and the electric slide. Most of all, I miss my brides. Fortunately, so many of them have contacted me to let me know that they too have their own babies or are now expecting! It’s a full circle moment. Congratulations to all of brides and grooms…and to their new little ones, welcome to this wonderful world. After now having Henry, I can say firsthand that they’ll change your life all for the best (after the first 3 weeks).

So where have I been? Ooooh…you know – feeding, changing, and everything else that comes with baby territory. Henry is now sleeping through the night starting last week.  Other than Henry himself, sleep is one of the best gifts ever! I’ll be updating you on more soon, including that new website I’ve been trying to finish. Until then, here is a pic of our baby Henry at 12 weeks.

Kristin + Steve

*Updated*

I probably got carried away with the number of pictures posted on my blog from Kristin and Steve’s wedding, but it was hard to select just a handful! I finally stopped myself before I posted the entire wedding.

With each wedding and even family shoot, I get a tickle of butterflies in my stomach. For Kristin and Steve’s wedding, it was more like a swarm of bees…but in a good way. =) For weeks, I was completely anxious and excited to photograph their wedding. I gave Kristin an advance notice not to be surprised if I showed up a little early. =) After photographing their engagement session back in November, I knew they would be just a fun couple to shoot and be around. They were both so laid back and cool all day long. It was a little eerie how well everything was going…and without a wedding planner. For days, it was gloomy and rainy and the sky opened up just for Kristin and Steve’s day. Pardon the cliche, but it was picture perfect! Thanks for a great time. It was truly a pleasure and an honor…and a big thank you to the dancing guests for giving us a big chuckle.

One of the highlights of the getting ready was seeing Nicole Palermo, my super-fabulous, uber-talented makeup artist that did my wedding day makeup almost 4 years ago. I haven’t seen her since and I think we both screamed out loud in excitement when we saw each other. I love her to pieces and it was so fun to run into her again. She did an amazing job on everyone!

I’m probably getting ahead of myself here, but I couldn’t resist.

Home again!

Trevor and I are back from our annual camping trip and a special trip to Amber and Sean’s wedding in San Diego! We’re playing some serious catch up on work and e-mail right now so I’ll be posting more pics later this week. If you’ve e-mailed me or called me in the past week, you can expect a response asap.

Thanks Kyle for taking this pic of us! We’re 18 weeks pregnant now!

Spreading the news!

Okay, I guess I’m really bad at keeping secrets. Within a few hours, people already had it figured out. Yes! We’re expecting and so excited! Unfortunately, I’m one of the chosen few that got the extreme end of morning sickness and I’m happy when I can just keep myself off the bathroom floor. Luckily, we intentionally didn’t schedule any weddings this fall so I’m just hangin’ back waiting for whatever happens next. We’ll definitely keep all of you updated and in the meanwhile, thanks for still visiting us here. I miss weddings SO SO much and I can’t wait to get back in the swing. Love you all!!

Mother’s Day 2008

Mother’s Day was a little different this year with my parents in Texas and of course Trevor’s parents live in California.  Memere, my grandmother, was alone this year so we took her out for an old-fashion Mother’s Day brunch in town. The food was excellent, but with four courses you know I had to bring leftovers home! It was a really cold and rainy day so we ended up going back to my grandmother’s to play a few rounds of Uno. I finally won a game, but the champion of champions is JJ! The next time we go to Vegas, I’m packing her with me. Here’s a shot from JJ’s camera:

Rain, rain, go away!

What does this mean for my first family portrait marathon? (fingers crossed)
