January 2009

I wanted to post some pics from the Convention Center Bridal Show and send a “thank you” out to my whole staff who helped behind the scenes and to my friend Crystal whose wedding we photographed in June…she brought her album to the show and was our “on site testimonial” bride! 🙂 Thank you to all of you for your help!! 🙂 Here are some fun runway fashions that caught my eye this year…I think they were going for the bright, vivid colors and more of a tropical theme since destination weddings are popular this year.

I LOVED this red bouquet of feathers, isn’t that COOL!?

Barb’s gown looked gorgeous!

Karen Hall & Co. did a fantastic job with all of the models hair & make up and Indy Floral Design did an awesome job with all of the bouquets!

Speaking of Indy Floral Design…check out Chuck’s booth! WOW!

I love all of the bling in this bouquet!

I didn’t even realize it until I got close to take this shot but this bouquet is actually silk! When someone can make silks look real, you know you’re working with an AMAZING florist! 🙂

I loved these blue & purple trees with hanging candles…so elegant!

Remember Melissa’s maternity photo shoot from a few weeks ago? Well, she had the baby on Monday!! YAY! 🙂 It was such an exciting day for everyone…Patrick kept us all updated via text, email & FaceBook – as shown above! 🙂 I stopped by Cookies By Design and picked up a goody basket to take down to the hospital with me and the cookies were a huge hit!

We couldn’t have timed it any better…she had the baby right as I was pulling into the parking lot so as soon as I got upstairs, I found out it was a BOY!! They named him Mason Steven, he was 8 pounds, 12 oz and 21 inches long. Everyone did great!!! After they cleaned him up, they invited us all in for photos…here’s Patrick’s mom holding her grandson…

And Melissa’s mom holding him…

BIG YAWN!! 🙂

Proud grandparents! 🙂

Melissa’s dad holding Mason…

Then it was Uncle Michael’s turn…

Vicki & Erin posing with him…

I love this one!! Melissa is such a great mom…you can tell she just adores him! 🙂

Here’s the crowd heading to her postpartum room…

Maddie & Jackson got to hold him and check out their new little brother!

Jackson announced that Mason “looks like he’s going to throw up!” which sent the room into laughter! 🙂 LOL! Such a “Jackson-ism”…

Awwww!! Daddy & son together… 🙂

Proud new parents for the 3rd time! Isn’t Mason ADORABLE!?

Meanwhile, Jackson & Maddie enjoyed their cookies!

Then Mason had to go to the nursery for a little bit…

Jackson took pics of his new little brother…

Patrick watched as the nurse took Mason’s temperature…

And Maddie wanted to see what was going on too…

LOVE THIS SHOT!! Definitely a favorite! 🙂

Kissing mommy!! 🙂

Congrats on baby #3 you guys!! We love you!! -E&J

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I thought I’d post one last “best of 2008” post that showcases my favorite boudoir photos from last year! 🙂 If you’d like more information about booking a boudoir session for your hubby, CLICK HERE for more info. Many of our brides and clients book sessions with us so that they have something special to wrap up for their wedding night, anniversary, birthday or Valentine’s Day…the guys always LOVE IT! 😉 (And yes, all of these ladies granted us permission to post these pics, no worries)

Although we’ve always been known for our wedding photography, the portrait side of our business grew exponentially last year and we had so much fun shooting SO many babies, kids, families, seniors, models, pets & engagement sessions! It’s neat to see so many of our couples turn into families and refer their friends & families to us so a big thank you goes out to all of you for allowing us to be a special part of your life in 2008! 🙂 Here are some of my favorite portrait shots from 2008, hope you all enjoy them as much as I do!
