ERIKA’S SPECIAL DAY

I was so excited to be a part of Erika and Jason’s wedding day, and even more excited when I met with her a few weeks before  to see how they transformed their backyard for the wedding.  So on the morning of, I panicked a little because it was raining.  They say rain is a sign of good luck on your wedding day, but I just didn’t want all of their hard work to go to waste.  Luckily when I arrived the rain was holding off and Erika was as calm, and pretty, as could be.  Everything worked out, and right after the ceremony a huge storm came through and I was trapped in their garage in fear of being pelted with dime size hail.  It was definitely something I won’t forget, and we all had a good laugh about it.  Congrats Erika and Jason! 

Here is just a few of the pictures:

 

The last picture is Erika and her stepdaughter.  I am a stepmom, so I tend to get emotional when I see a strong bond between a stepparent and child.  Such a great sight to see!

Saydee and Skylar

It’s hard to describe, in words, how cute these two kiddos are, so here is the proof!   These two belong to one of my longest and greatest friends, Amy! 

 

It’s so hard for me to believe that Skylar is this old!  AHH!  Seems like I was just holding him on his first Halloween. 

This was one of the last pictures that I snapped…Saydee was “pictured” out, but so glad I was able to captured that adorable face one more time!

The last picture is so you can see how cute Saydee’s outfit is!   Absolutely adorable, right?  Get ahold of me if you just have to have one…I’ll give you Amy’s number!

Preview of What is Coming Tomorrow!

 

Everything in life I share, except my teddy bear!

 

Stella wanted to bring along her pink teddy bear.  I am not sure Kacie was super thrilled about it, but I thought a few quick snapshots wouldn’t hurt anything.  Teddy had just came out of the wash too, so she was super clean for her photos. 

Kacie and Stella’s posts are all wrapped up now, butI want to say a few kind words about these two lovely ladies.  Kacie is a super awesome mom.  She raises Stella on her own, and has done a swell job the last three years.  Kacie works full time as a special education teacher, and is going back to school.  How she balances all of this out, and still makes time to be a great mom, is beyond me.  I am proud to say she is my best friend, and I know that she would do absolutely anything if I were in need.  Oh and Stella…she is just one of the cutest little girls you’ll ever meet.  Polite, prissy, and everything you want in a sweet little girl. 

HAPPY EARLY MOTHER’S DAY KAC!  YOU DESERVE AN EXTRA SPECIAL DAY!  LUVVIES!

I FORSEE AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE

Took some super sweet pictures of Kacie and Stella this past week.  I am arranging for Stella and Q to wed in 20-something years.  I am sure Kacie will stick us with a hefty dowry…better start saving now!

  Here are a few of my favorites:

 

Saved my favorite for last!

 

I am going to post some more of Stella tomorrow.  Her and her little pink bear. 

My Best Friend is Prettier than Yours

Just wanted to share a new photo that I took of one of  my best friends, Kacie.  I wanted her to have a new Facebook pic, so I insisted that we take a headshot at her and Stella’s last portrait session.  :)  I could go on and on about how much I love her, but we’ll save that for the next post.  

As Promised!

Senior sessions are winding down now...I had a blast taking all of them! Each session brought on a new experience for me, and I am so happy for the opportunity! I just want to wish all of you good luck and congratulations on ending one chapter and beginning a whole new chapter in your life! Hope you all keep in touch (Michah, if you're reading this..you're stuck with me forever. ha!).
