Adorable flower girl:
I love how all the bridesmaids wore a different style dress:




The GROOM! Norbert…I am actually shocked that I got a shot of him so serious. He is usually so fun and goofy:) I love it!
The Groomsmen:
Yeah…before viewing the next two shots, I should mention that all the groomsmen except 1 are dancers…

This was Sarah’s dad’s first look. This just puts tears in my eyes and makes me laugh at the same time. (click to enlarge)




ha! I LOVE everything about this picture!




The NEWLYWED SESSION:








This might be my fav:

If you look hard, you may find a precious little newlywed couple
First Dance:


I like this one because it looks like they are dancing on stage…
Father-daughter dance:
Sequence of events: retrieval of the garter…this actually looks very similar to the shots taken at my wedding…Sarah, I know how you feel click to enlarge.

The send-off:

When we went to Savannah to proudly pick up our table, we scored this great bonus piece! My parents were going to sell it in a garage sale until they mentioned it to us. We quickly took it off their hands. Thanks Parents!
My dream of having a photography business has come true and I am so excited about it! 

My husband’s dream is to flip houses…

And his dream has come true as well! This house was a foreclosure. Wes has kind of been looking at houses like this over the past several months, so we decided to go to the home auction JUST TO SEE HOW IT WORKS. Wes and I decided we would just throw in a bid on this house for the heck of it because, at that point, bids were super low and surely it wouldn’t sell for that amount. Well….. we won the bid! We walked away with the house. Just like that. After hours of, “oh my gosh, we just bought a house…did we do the right thing?”… we felt pretty excited about it. 

Now, there is a little change in plans…we will be fixing the house up because, as you can see, it does need A LOT of work, BUT we will not be selling it. We are going to keep it all to ourselves!! I know, selfish, right? The great thing is that it has a dining room big enough to accommodate our fully expanded dining room table AND it’s big enough to have a photography studio!!! The Lord has blessed us not only by providing us an affordable, roomy home, but by giving us the courage to actually go through with it. Our issue now is when we will find the TIME to fix this baby up? 

I know there has been a lot of personal posts here, but lots of personal stuff going on! But, have no fear, I am finishing up some wedding pictures and I have several shoots coming up next week!

Mom made a good move by getting relighting candles. Katie quickly realized and started putting them out with her fingers.

A bow from one of Katie’s gifts… mom thought it was the best thing since sliced bread…

Mom’s birthday (yep, another one!) is monday, so it was kind of a celebration for her as well.
Katie and her friends:
We played Apples to Apples after dinner…
Happy Birthday Katie & Mom! Love you!

It’s official. My dog is the coolest, funniest dog EVER! He creates hours of entertainment for us! I have to share this with you. I couldn’t resist:


Oliver went to the vet on monday to get his leg checked out (he has been limping on it for a while). The doctor sent him home with doggie pain killers twice a day. He has been a little out of it lately. So…we give him his medicine by giving him a spoonful of peanut butter (not the recalled PB, in case you were concerned) with the pill surprise hidden in the middle. He LOVES peanut butter. He licks and licks and licks until it is all gone and after it’s gone he licks and licks and licks, tilting his head up, down, side-to-side, etc…anything to help him get it off his tongue and roof of his mouth. It is truly the funniest sight ever! There is one requirement to reading this blog. There is a collage below of his peanut-butter-eating-behavior…you must CLICK TO ENLARGE!


Have you ever seen a cross-eyed-dog? You’re in for a treat. This picture makes me cry from laughter ever time I look at it.
“thith ith the betht peanut budddder I ever had…tho nithe and thticky…”
“mmmmmmm…that wath delithiouth…”
We took Oliver for a walk the other day. In efforts to see if he would start going potty like a man dog is supposed to, we showed him the fire hydrant. He promptly sat down and cocked his head at us. Oh well, we tried. I am perfectly okay with him continuing his neat potty habits.
On the other hand, he doesn’t seem to have much respect for the signs in the neighborhood… Wes was walking him the other day and he walked right up next to the sign and did his business as to say, “There, take that.” You can’t blame him…I mean when you gotta go, you gotta go.
