Kelly Marie l Personal

Sometimes I have really bad luck. I step in big puddles of mud, sit in chocolate and choose to drive with the sun roof open while pollen is steadily pouring in my car. The last one isn't really bad luck...its just stupidity.

ONE thing I have EXCELLENT luck in is kelly. She's the epitome of selfless love and friendship and I couldn't be more grateful. When life decided to sit on my front porch a few weeks ago, I lost my assistant photographer. I had all of these brides with assistant photographer contracted in their wedding package and was feeling a leeeeetle bit frightened. She already handles the accounting and tax stuff for my business so what does she do? Offers to help me out.

Now...weddings aren't exactly something you just volunteer to help with. They are long hours of being on your toes and very stressful work...especially for someone who already works hard m-f. But she's hard-headed and insisted on helping. I gave her a run through on lola and she left my house a canon expert. not even kidding. She even pretended to pay attention when I rambled on about fstops and depth of field. what a pal!

so...this post is dedicated to my loving, stingy at times amazing best friend. I love you Kelly Marie. You're the best.



(the product....amazing right?)





those smiles are what it's all about. I can't teach that..it just has to be there and she found it.

Jasmine Words l Personal

Indeed, he has turned his hand against me
again and again, all day long.

He has besieged me and surrounded me
with bitterness and hardship.

He has walled me in so I cannot escape;
he has weighed me down with chains.

I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.

I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.

Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."

Mrs. Alloway l Bridals

I honestly don't think there could be a more beautiful, kind and sincere bride. Caitlin and Craig were married on Saturday, April 3 so I'm thrilled to finally be able to post these. I wasn't able to photograph or even attend their wedding (sad!) but I know she was happy and that the photos will turn out beautiful. I love it when the good girls win :)











(found this great vintage yellow stool at 'The Trading Post' in Petersburg for $10)

It was FREEZING this day but Caitlin braved it like a big girl. Here's the secret to her bravery ;) Please don't kill me for this!
