La’Tai + Ricco

December 19, 2008
Meet La’Tai and Ricco! What a cute couple! I just love the way that they look at eachother! They are just too cute! They actually have a really cute story of how they met…. La’Tai lived out in San Francisco and Ricco went out there for a trip. They met, hung out just about every night he was there… and from there it was history! So La’Tai moved out to the East Coast and they are getting married! 
They have actually seen all of their photos already… so this isn’t much of a surprise for them… They picked a few photos for their Holiday Save the Dates, which turned out really cute!
We took some photos at a nearby park in Catonsville. It was COLD!



Love her cute little mittens!








We also took some pics at their house. They recently bought it, and it is adorable! They were actually having friends over that evening to celebrate their engagement.






See how they look at eachother?! ….love….  ;)









Thanks La’Tai and Ricco! Have a great holiday!

Let the Party Begin! Amanda + Dan Part 2

December 18, 2008
I promised you part 2… and here it is! I realize that I am not posting any pics from the ceremony.. I apologize for that… It was actually the shortest ceremony that I have ever been to… The pastor said it would be about 7 minutes… He was very accurate! It was short, but super sweet. 
Here are a few of the days details for you…. 
The flowers that Amanda put together…

Ohhhh… this was fun! By fun, I mean a good idea. I wasn’t sharing in the Cosmopolitans… Amanda and Dan had a Cosmo fountain, and their guest favors were Cosmo glasses, so guests filled up, and took their glasses home!

They got married on November 29th… at the Kent Island Yacht Club, so needless to say there were a few holiday decorations out… had to use them!

You go girl!

Love it! Too, too cute!

It was VERY cold outside… but I think that Dan and Amanda enjoyed a few moments to spend with one another.   ;)

Amanda’s parents… What a funny couple!  ;)

Go Dan! Go Dan! Go, Go, Go Dan!

I absolutely just loved the guys shoes!! Fabulous!

Mom and son, Jamie, who is newly engaged! Congrats!

This was officially my last wedding of 2008. It was amazing. Dan and Amanda were truly one of the most accommodating couples ever. Thank you guys. You were super sweet to work with… and I am glad we are not done!

Amanda and Dan have a Trash the Dress session coming up. Should be fun. They have a few ideas, one of them includes using a old CJ7 Jeep on big wheels (my dream car!!!).
I will continue to post through the holidays.. I have an awesome engagement session to blog tomorrow.. and lots to come from my trip to Cali…. and we might have an addition to the family soon…not a kiddo…. ;)

Amanda + Dan!

December 17, 2008
So….it is not every wedding that I get to head to the Shooting Range… Is that even what I should call it? I grew up in a family of hunters, so I am used to the hunting thing, but this was like Nintendo Duck Hunt!!! I headed to Pin Tail Point to check in with the guys the morning of the wedding… and they were, well… shooting clay discs? balls? ducks? I am not sure what the wording would be, but it was definitely interesting! They looked like they were having a great time!

Manly. Need I say more?

Here is the whole gang! 

And now to the ladies hotel room… There was a lot going on!

 A little dress detail. Her dress was HEAVY!

Check out her bling! You should see her ring, WOW!

What woman doesn’t want a pair of these?!

I love this pic…. someone’s cute little tush in the corner.  :)

A little out of order, but Amanda did her own flowers… She actually did everything herself, except that she hired a photographer (me!) and a band! She is thinking about becoming a wedding planner. I think she should go for it! Her theme was the 50′s pinup…. Notice the table cards?

I think she fit right in to her theme. She looks awesome!

Let’s not forget the cute dog!!! Amanda actually made the dress the dog is wearing! I told you she did everything!

Someone had a difficult job….

Dan made it back from the shooting range, on time and in style!

And he brought along the guns…

ok…more to come!

Happy Thanksgiving…….late :)

December 15, 2008
Yes, I just wished you a Happy Thanksgiving… and yes, it is LATE! I traveled through Thanksgiving this year because I attended a workshop in San Diego, and then had a wedding the Saturday after Thanksgiving… (plan on blogging that tomorrow or Wed!) I must say that as my plane landed on Thanksgiving evening, I had a mix of emotions running through my head…. I was excited to see my hubby as I had left him for 10 days…. I felt terrible that I left him that long… that I didn’t cook him Thanksgiving dinner… that for the first time in my life, I was not going to spend Thanksgiving with my family…. I wiped the tears from my eyes and made a decision that I plan to stand by. I shoot holiday weddings and have a holiday fee…. but I will no longer include Christmas or Thanksgiving on that holiday list. The truth is, nothing is more important than my family… and there is not a price tag that could be paid to keep me from them in the future. Try me. ;) I am so blessed to have the family that I do, and I can’t wait to see them this Christmas!!! (and next Thanksgiving!) 
So, with that said, I did make my hubby a Thanksgiving dinner soon after I got home and we had our own little mini Thanksgiving… 
Below is one of my favorite holiday wines. It is from Boordy Vineyards in Md, so if you are not local… Sorry!!! If you are local, go grab a bottle! On the back it says you can even warm it up… haven’t ever tried that, but maybe this season I will. It is a little bit sweeter of a wine… but different and delicious!

And for our dinner I made my first ever Pecan Pie! It was delicious (If I do say so myself). I have to say that this is one of my new favorites… Josh’s family introduced me to Pecan Pie.. I had never had it growing up, and it is just amazing!

I was excited when I got back from San Diego.. because I love hosting people, and I am in a Tuesday night Bible study with some of my favorite girlfriends… and I host for the month of December! So, I cut up some “Christmas Apples” ……

And made some kiss cookies… I know they look funny, but I always use Dove chocolate, because it tastes so much better than Hershey Kisses…not as cute, but yummy!

And then my friend Katy came… and I gave her a hug and somewhere in that transaction my plates of cookies and apples fell… on the TREE!  :)  If you know my dog Chester, this is like Chester Heaven. He loves apples and loves chocolate… so now there is melted chocolate drizzle and apples all over the tree….

And here is my dog, cleaning it all up!!! He licked it for about an hour… literally…. The tree was shaking… the star fell off… ornaments were falling off… and I in between photos… was holding the tree to keep it from falling over… that would have been a DISASTER!


I eventually got the idea to spray the tree with cleaner…. hoping that it would taste gross and it would keep him from licking the tree…. and hoping that it did not kill him!!! It worked!!! He still goes over to the tree once and awhile and sniffs it, like just maybe it would turn into Chester Heaven just one more time.   :)

Just a Few Days Left….

December 14, 2008
Just a few days left for a few things…..Just a little reminder for you!

1. Portrait Session Contest: Time is running out. All entries must be received by December 30 @ midnight. No exceptions… sorry. I plan to take them with me on the plane to Atlanta where I will be spending New Years to start deciding on my winner.I have had some really awesome entries. Keep them coming… It doesn’t have to be long… Click here for the details

2. Cans for Comments: I will be taking the cans to the Maryland Food Bank on December 23rd…. Don’t make me go in empty handed. If you leave a comment I will donate a can. Even if your comment is “Put a can in for me…”  I will put a can in for you  :)  I have just a week left… My goal is 100.. Help me get there for a good cause!  :) Tell your friends! I will try to blog something everyday to give you things to comment about ;) If you are a first time commenter, I will put in 2 cans for you!

3. Christmas is coming! I am sure that you didn’t need a reminder for that…. but I did! I have been working to put in everyones holiday print orders and then it suddenly hit me that I needed to get on top of my own gift giving! 

Here is a little eye candy for you today…. Chester my dog. Just wanted to get him involved in the Christmas spirit.  I got pretty excited about this when it snowed (less than an inch) last week, and thought oohhh…we can get photos outside in the snow!!! I had the extension cord ready and everything. Let’s just say that not all went as planned. Have you ever strung lights on your dog? It wasn’t that he minded…. He actually really seemed to like it, but I had to wrap the legs so loosely in an effort not to hurt him of course, and so when he walked around the lights started falling off of his legs… and then that made things a bit interesting. I think next year I might try again…and not wrap his legs.
