Thanks so much!!! And just because I can’t post something without a photo, here is one from the session I am currently proofing…what a c-u-t-i-e!!! More to come on this little guy soon :)

What an amazing shoot! Lindsay & Brian took me to Miami University to take their engagement photographs. Lindsay has just graduated and Brian will be soon, and I loved seeing their favorite spots and hearing about the campus.
I wanted to share a few more of my favorites and include a slideshow of the images – hope you enjoy it!

love this moment:

Miami has a beautiful archway and it is said that if you kiss under it at midnight, you will marry that person (or something like that). This is where Brian proposed to her…how sweet is that!!!
Lindsay & Brian, thank you soo much for such a fun shoot, I can’t wait for the wedding next year!!!

*be sure to have your sound on :) sorry if it takes a while to load…be patient, i promise it’s worth it!
(a tip is to pause it and let the bar fill up first, then play it; or let it play once with the sound off so it can load)

I just had to share a couple of my favorite images from a recent engagement shoot. More to come on that later, but I thought I’d share a sneak peak!

I was so excited when I stumbled on this site, I just had to share it with you all! Top Secret Recipes is a site with recipes of some of the yummy dishes at many popular restaurants! Sadly you do have to pay for the recipes, but to be honest, if you love the sweet potato chips at Cheeseburger and Paradise as much as I do…$0.79 is not bad!

Some of my favorite restaurants that they have are: Bonefish Grill, Buca Di Beppo, Cheeseburger in Paradise, Cheesecake Factory, Joe’s Crab Shack, Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, P.H. Changs, Red Lobster, Red Robin and Ruby Tuesday…these are just a few, there are tons more!

I decided early on that since Justin and I were so blessed to house sit such an amazing house, I would take advantage of what it could mean to me photographically. I’ve been shooting the land almost every night and I wanted to share a few of my favorites from the past few days. More will come, as I am shooting often, I just wanted to share a few on this beautiful day :)

love this one too:
we also get to visit 7 horses here on the farm, here is one of them and I *love* this photo of him!

What a wedding. Whitney and Damon were married on May 31, 2008. It was a long time coming, but at the end of the day, my parents had offically married off their last Hall girl! And yes, we all were married within one year of each other!

The wedding was beautiful, and it was a perfect reflection of their style and love for each other. I was honored to not only be co-matron of honor, but also the photographer…crazy right?! Well, I thought, I’ve done it before, and wont have to do it again…so why not?! Honestly I was honored that they wanted me to be such a part of their wedding. Congratulations to my amazing twin sister for finding the perfect man for her. You two are so wonderful together!

Here are a few of my favorites from the day, and I’ll be posting more in a slideshow soon! Enjoy!

*and yes, I am so glad that I won’t be photographing another wedding while wearing a bridesmaid’s dress – believe it or not, it’s even harder than you may think ;)Only Whitney would play Guitar Hero on her wedding day! She’s *really* good at it!
Bea-u-tiful!

My absolute favorite image from the day! We are going to make it into a large gallery wrapped canvas!You may be wondering how I was in the wedding but still took the pictures. Well, I had a few amazing helpers! So thank you to : Justin Drummond (my second shooter/amazing husband), Matt Bruning, and Bethany Givens even took a few that all three of us had to be in! Thank you all, it wouldn’t have happened without you!

*Small note about this image, I love it so much because I explained it to both Justin & Matt to be sure to get this shot…and they both did, Matt took this one, and Justin took another closer in…you can see Justin in the right hand corner! Thanks so much for your dedication!!!

I am so excited to share one of our newest product offerings – custom slideshows! I know I promised to share a while back, but I have had a few technical difficulties :) Anyway, this is from Heidi & Nathan’s wedding in May. The slideshow is included in the wedding coverage, and additional copies can be purchased (it is also available for portrait sessions…just ask!)
