~9 Years and counting~

Young Love

Of marriage that is! It was today 9 years ago that Robert and I left work, went to his mother’s house and got hitched! Yeah exciting, huh? When we finished up there, we went to do some last minute Christmas shopping at K-Mart… wooo hoo! We had tossed around ideas of what/how we were going to tie the knot… I mean, we had both been married a few times between us.. had kids… horrible “ex” issues and a bun in the oven. We really wanted to go to Vegas and get married in one of those “drive thru” chapels… now that would have been really neat!

Drive Thru Wedding

Instead of going to Las Vegas Nevada.. we ended up bringing a Nevada into our world about 9 months later! And about 3 years later, we brought in the caboose Montana… these 2 boys added lots of excitement to our already exciting life.  Dakota, Nevada & Montana are the best things to have ever been blessed with… and my Robert… though many times I have wanted to chop him up in tiny pieces and bury him down by the river… JK (really, I promise!) I love Robert with all of my heart and know that I have many more years to enjoy with him. We are going out of town tonight to “shack up” as he calls it. We will be finishing our Christmas, last minute as we have for the past 9 years. He is not feeling well… stuffy, sneezing, fever, coughing, but I think that is just part of our anniversary getaway… seems one or both of us usually end up sick this time of year.. God love him!

Still in love

~Miss Avery~

What a beautiful day it was for shooting…the wind was a little much, but the job was done! Miss Avery and mom Mickey joined me for a really sassy shoot all over town. Took us about 2 hours, 4 locations and Lord knows how many changes of clothes. What a great time it was for us all! Thanks to Cindy at Southern Creations in Rayville for letting us use their beautiful porch… I will certainly be shooting there again. I have been waiting on this shoot very anxiously for a couple weeks since Mickey had contacted me about her plans to get Miss Avery all girlied up and take pictures! I dont have a little girl.. so this was alot of fun for me. Let me just tell you, this little misses was somewhat unsure at first… but it didnt take long at all before she was really working it for the camera. She had a blast and her photos show it very well! To be honest with you….I couldnt get these photos posted fast enough…. so, enough rambling… Hope you enjoy!

**Please feel free to leave comments!**

My blossoming photography

Every picture I shoot teaches me more and more about GREAT photography. I love shooting a “story”. Sometimes I can look at a picture that I took and say WOW… now that is a really awesome shot! I love angles, unimaginable locations, color, naturalness (is that a word) Seems each photo is better than the last. Of course with the technology we have today for digital pictures and enhancements…its almost impossible to take a bad photo.. Ok, so maybe not everyone has the “touch”, but at least you are able to view the photos before you print them, unless you are still shooting with film. Enough rambling, I will share some photos with you that I shot last weekend of a friend of mine that will be surprising her husband with very soon! This was alot of fun for both of us….

 

Run a way bride

I love this picture…of course, it says a thousand words..don’t you think?

Damsel in distress...

How fun was that?!

Natural close up

Now, this is beatiful!

 

Funny, we had well over 200 shots… all great! We have scheduled our annual family Christmas photo shoot for November 23rd at Biedenharn Museum & Gardens in Monroe. We should have time for more family shoots if anyone is interested. Email me at – memorymi74@yahoo.com
