It's been awhile and I forgot to post a few of my favorites from this session...  To be honest, I've forgotten to post several shoots.  Life with a newborn has been just slightly hectic.  Now he's crawling and it's impossible to sit at the computer for very long.  When he's sleeping, I'm showering or doing laundry or other hurry and catch up stuff.  I'll do my best to share some of my favorites from each session.  Even if it's of my own little fam. 

 

A year later...

Engagements

I'm in the process of working on these... 

Could they be any cuter?

They got engaged while we were there...

While on our trip to Hawaii, friends of ours got engaged.  They were giddy with excitement and asked if I'd go take pictures of them where it happened.  Having been disappointed with what Waikiki Beach was like (I won't go into it, but Oahu, is not my favorite island and NOT worth a 7.5 hour plane ride, especially when you're pregnant), I was definitely up for a photo shoot.  They had rented a car and said we could just drive 5 minutes up the road to get to the spot.  I was under the impression that it was on the beach.  That being said, I wanted to do some romantic shots of their location, just before and at sunset.  Well, our drive was more like 15 minutes and it was not on the beach.  It was a cliff we would have had to jump off of to get down there, but there was a cute lighthouse nearby.  I was running out of time, it was getting dark and the fact that we were up away from the sunset on the water, made it even darker.  Luckily my ever so hilarious husband was there to get them to smile bigger and ease my stress of the situation.  It turned out great and they're adorable!  (And don't judge me for the lack of sunset, we really were in Hawaii.  Aren't they known for their amazing sunsets?  Not while I was there.  I do remember sunsets and rainbows on Maui so I was completely disappointed)

Married and back from their honeymoon...

and tonight is their reception.  I think EVERYONE should do it this way!!!  Makes for a much more enjoyable wedding day if you ask me.  They got married late morning, had lunch and were off.  Now they're back from a nice refreshing vacation and ready to celebrate with friends and family.  While I'm getting through their wedding day pictures, I thought I'd share one for now.

Nathan + Dana = ENGAGED!

Can't be in a bad mood...

when you come across a picture like this...

 

It's been a long week already having been sicker than sick the last four days!  I've never hurt all over so much as I have.  I haven't been able to do ANYTHING and it's killing me!  I have a hard time just sitting around when there's so much to be done.  It's just not fun and it's hard to be Jolly, Merry or even slightly happy when I feel like this.  I shot a wedding last month and amongst all the activities that come during the holidays, I've been trying to finish up the editing process.  I tagged this picture as a keeper when I uploaded it, but now that I've edited it... I feel like smiling.  It's "a moment" and you can tell they are just so into each other.  This was the first dance...

More to come later when I'm completely done.  Almost there!
