Karen and Matt: Engaged!

When I used to work at Borgess, I worked with Karen. For the last few years, I have beenworking at Borgess as a PRN...which means, I work when I want to...or when they really need me and I am nice enough to cover for them. =) I happened to be working the day that Karen came back from lunch and said..."heh guys, I just got engaged!" Of course we were all way excited. =) I was more than honored when she asked me to photograph their engagement session. It was a cold but beautiful day, and they were so willing to freeze to get their photos done.
So Matt and Karen, I wish you both a beautiful wedding and marriage. I hope you love your photos, it was really fun working with you both!

recent work...

I am still getting back in the swing of things since getting home from Philly last week, gosh, I had a great time there...and love how I connected with so many wonderful photographers.
I have had two photoshoots this week...and here are a few of my favorites. =)

Fun family photos

Here are some fun family photos I had in my little point and shoot camera...and thought i would share them. =)
Norah has discovered the camera and how it works. Which is actually fun because we have a great time taking goofy pictures together.
The photo with the cat food...was norah's doing. She doesn't like the cat to not have any food, and will handful by little handful fill Lily's bowl quite full. =)

Workshop photos

I had a great time this past week in Philadelphia at Cliff Mautner's photography workshop. He is so good...at that is all I can really say...the man is GREAT. Great teacher, photographer, and person. Loved it all.I learned so much this week, and feel all the more inspired and encouraged as I continue to learn and grow in the business and skill of photography. I LOVE it!! Here are some photos I got while there.

Baby Dawson

Our good friends were blessed with a baby boy...meet Dawson. Adorable isn't he!? =)

Also...I will be out of town today through Thursday. I will be in Philadelphia, at a great photography workshop. I am going to be learning from "one of the top ten wedding photographers in the world". I would LOVE to have that title someday. =) So, if you need to get a hold of me, you can still email me as I will have email access there, though I am sure my time will be limited to responding to emails. I hope everyone has a wonderful week. I am sure looking forward to mine! =)

Haloween 2008

It is becoming a tradition to go to "trick or treating" with the Miller Family, and then to our church, Northbridge, for "trunk or treat". Here are some photos of Norah as "Roo" from "Winnie the Pooh" She loves Roo, and loves to bounce and jump just like him...she enjoyed trick or treating once she realized candy was involved. At first she was very shy, and would grab the candy and go, but after a while...she started to say thank you to everyone. =) It was a fun night, but we unfortunetly have eaten most of the candy. =( Every morning, Norah asks for candy. =)

Hope everyone else had a wonderful Haloween!!

Costa Rica Mission Trip

We had an amazing time down there. I highly recommend everyone to go to Costa Rica...beautiful country!
We met some wonderful people, and had lots of fun with the missionary families there. Some of the "tourist" things we did were: ziplining through the rainforest, white water rafting, and walking through the rainforest and seeing many stunning waterfalls.
This slideshow highlights some of the trip for us. I took way too many photos...and there is no way they would all fit on a slideshow. =)
A special thank you to the Woolfords (the missionaries down there) they set up the whole trip for us and were wonderful hosts...we love and miss you guys. See you this summer!
