Tracy and Fam

So this was probably the most humid day I can remember in a while.  We took these pics last Sunday when it was a monsoon outside!!!!  I got to our spot at around 5:30 and there was one sunny patch over us, but when Tracy and her cousins came the clouds starting rolling in again.  I was sooo nervous but my little umbrella must have been over us because it did not rain at all...it was a miracle!!!  So Tracy and her Bro and cousins wanted to do something for their Grandma for christmas so they thought a little photoshoot with some sweet pics was a good idea.  I was so happy when they asked me and I had so much fun!!!  All of their personalities came out and I had the best time with them.  Here is a preview of your pics so far...I hope you guys like them!

Val~ Trash the Dress

I was looking forward to this shoot for a while now...I think mother nature knew and kept me waiting!!  Me and Val had to reschedule the shoot a couple times but it was worth it because we landed on the perfect day.  Me and Val were on the dance team together in high school and she wanted to get some fun pics in her wedding dress.  Her husband Matt is in the marines which is awesome so we got some pictures with some fun things of his;)   You can definitely tell these two are soul mates by the way she talks about him, she has a twinkle in her eye.  I am definitely not a mushy person, but it is true!!  He is going to be gone now for about 2 months but Val just a little longer!  I am so happy for you two and I hope you love your pics so far;)

Jenna~ 1 year photos

I was delighted when Erin got in touch with me, we knew each other in high school and it had been way too long!  I was so happy to take pics of her little one and of course the whole fam!   Jenna turned 1 on May 29th and has the cutest smile and has eyelashes a girl dreams of!  We had a rough start but this little girl is so dang cute it is hard not to get a good pic of her.  I also had a lot of fun catching up with you Erin! (sorry you had to listen to us being girly Danny:))  It was so good to meet your family and I hope you guys like your first round of pics!

Look at those beautiful eyelashes!!

Jenny and Eric~Maternity Photos!

Sorry I have been MIA the last week...I have been working a lot and had fun summer things to do like wedding receptions!  This whole part-time thing hasn't worked too well yet, my other property is in denial about me leaving and JUST hired someone;)  Anyway, I am here to talk about Jenny, Eric and their lovely baby on the way!!!  Jenny was a friend of a friend who emailed me for her photos, she is almost due so we had to get right on it!!  We talked a lot over email and I couldn't wait to meet her, she seemed so sweet and friendly and I already felt like I knew her before we met!  So when I first met her and her sweet husband I was pleasantly surprised.  You could tell the love these two had for each other and the excitement of meeting their little one shortly,  they are going to be surprised which I think is really cool!  Jenny has been in and out of the hospital so she is about to have the baby any day now and I cannot wait to meet him/her;) Thanks again guys and I look forward to seeing you again soon!  I hope you enjoy your first round of photos!!

  btw Jenny..I got this one for you! ;)

Bede Family! :)

So I am not very good about writing feelings and emotions but I have a post today about a great family...MINE! ;)  I am super close with my family... all my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents...it is really great that we have remained close growing up.   Jaimie Bede and I were around the same age and we were always the ones getting in trouble together, whether it be dressing Josh up like a girl when he was little or spraying whipped cream on him while he was sleeping and tickling him with a feather(that one was Jaimie)!  I can definitely say that all of the Bede kids were little devils but have grown into great, responsible, loving people and I am very proud of them.  My uncle Pete was always a jokester...always telling me "boys are bad, school is good" which I never paid attention to...I would just role my eyes and nod my head! haha  My aunt Sandy is also one of the sweetest people you will ever meet..she is my mom's sister and I have never seen such a close loving family!  Last summer uncle pete was diagnosed with cancer in his mouth (which they cured) but then was later diagnosed again because it spread to his lungs. You will never think these things will  happen to you or your family but it is an awful reality.  He handed out these bracelets for everyone...each cancer has a different color.  Ours are red and white for lung and head/neck cancer.  They say "say it ~ fight it ~ cure it".  I love this family more than anything and believe my Uncle Pete has the strength to fight and I pray for him and his fam and I ask that you do the same :)  I think through these photos you can definitely get the true side of the Bede family...thank you for letting me take your pics...I had a blast (especially torturing Jaimie;))!  Love you guys!

I love this sequence of pics...

I got in a pic too :)

Lovebirds:)
