I look forward to working with DFW Events again this weekend for Kyndil and Mark’s wedding! Blog post soon to follow…

Hannah and Ryan had an incredible Chicago wedding on September 2, 2011. I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a more loving and genuine couple. I’ve known Hannah since we were little kids and I was honored to photograph her wedding (31 weeks pregnant!). Both Ryan and Hannah are former student body presidents at Wheaton College and had tons of friends travel from all over the States to celebrate with them on their wedding day. They are loved and respected by all who know them and I was honored to be their photographer. To view some of their engagement photos check here.

Ashley and Jason had a beautiful wedding on September 24, 2011 in Austin, Texas at the Barr Mansion. Every vendor worked hard to make this wedding a gorgeous experience for Ashley and Jason and all their guests. I was honored to be a part of their beautiful day.

Hey all! One great thing about having a baby has been that I have had to catch up on lots and lots of work from 2011. I don’t think I’ve logged more hours or worked harder and faster to finish projects than I have with this pregnancy. Maybe it’s nesting. But I think that mostly it’s that I know how much work newborns are and I want to be able to enjoy every minute of the gift that this little boy will be.  I can’t believe how good it feels to catch up on months and months worth of work. There has not been another time in my career that I have ever been so caught up. But, through the hard work, my blog has suffered and is out of date. I’m not sure when I’ll get to update it with all the great shoots, weddings and promotional photos from 2011, but I will do my best to get them up here. For a short post, I wanted to share this image that I found yesterday as I was designing a wedding album…

Hope you all are well! We’ll try to keep this blog and my twitter updated on when our little boy, August, is born. The day is quickly approaching and we can hardly wait!

Hey friends. Some of you guys have emailed to ask where the heck some of my latest blog posts went, and I wanted to update you all with some good news. They are lost. But not for long. The good folks at Flosites are working hard to restore the lost posts.

So, no tears.

Be happy!

And enjoy my 32 week prego pic! xoxox

The missing posts and new posts will be up soon! xoxo

::::UPDATE 9/22::::

We are still missing some posts, but the majority of the lost posts are back. I will do my best to update the rest along with some new posts asap. Hope you have enjoyed a good cup of coffee for me lately. And a glass of wine.
