2008 - The Slideshow






Thank you to all of the wonderful clients, friend and family who have made this past year a photographically beautiful one!

See you in 2009!

Click here or the title of the post to see the slideshow. And please excuse the typo in the opening title ;-)

My slideshow maker still isn't working well, so the pictures aren't quite in the order I'd like...grrr....maybe I'll fix that in 2009!

p.s. Sorry if I forgot anyone.

Ethan

I was so excited to meet little Ethan today. I met Ethan's mom while teaching several years ago. I was honored when she asked me to photograph her wedding day. A few years later...and this little 5 day old cutie officially makes them a family!

















I hope you guys enjoy =your sneak peek!

Cathy C?

If your name is Cathy C. and you recently sent me a wedding inquiry...please email me again! I have attempted to send and resend my response several times this evening with a "permanent failure" message every time I hit "reply". Thank you!

Canvases

Oh how I love my canvas company! They seriously rock the socks of canvases. No disrespect to local retailers who do them (frankly I think Sams Club 1 hour photo services are great...for photo prints only), but there is no comparison to these beauties when it comes to gallery wrapped canvases! Plus their customer service is second to none.

There were some issues with this image due to the composition and needing to wrap part of the image around the frame, but the CS was so helpful in providing me several options very quickly of some cloning and crop options their graphic design team came up with!

My awesome husband took this image from a wedding this summer. The couple's package included a canvas and I was so excited they chose such a fun image for this special product! I can't wait for them to get it...it's in the mail!

Addyson + Zoe

It was a pleasure to meet beautiful Addyson and Zoe and their wonderful parents the other day. Since I wasn't able to post the sneak peek the same day (I try, but it doesn't always happen), I posted a few more images than usual. Enjoy!

The Big Bash!

Celebrating our son's 3rd birthday and Auntie Bean's birthday brought both families to Holt for fun, food and the annual "year in review" video put together by my amazing husband.

Here are a few pictures from the day.

Don't Wait...

...to tell the people you love, that you love them, appreciate them, cherish them. If you wait, it might be too late.

My heart has been so heavy this last week over the sudden and tragic loss of my cousin Tim. There are words to express the sadness I feel for everyone who loved him, especially his family. 48 years old, father of five, loving husband, brother, son, coach, co-worker....a man of faith, love and compassion.

If you believe in prayer, please pray for comfort and peace and strength for Tim's family.
