This was my reminder for Laykin about meeting her for lunch today :) On my computer where she knew I would see it.

We purchased a new Christmas tree this year, got it up yesterday, listened to Christmas music, watched Christmas movies, had cocoa, a warm fire going... and it was the best!

Thanksgiving was great, I sure missed my wonderful grandpa this year. We all did. It was our first holiday without him. I missed him snacking all day, standing in front of the fireplace, hovering over the turkey, having his favorite jello salad made by my sweet grandma (she still make it this year). The holidays will be different now but I will sure think about him.

Laykin will be 10 in just a few short days. TEN! When, where, why, how....

I am thankful for so much and feel the need to share that. I am thankful for each and every one of you who have supported me and my business throughout the years. I truly enjoy getting to know you and your families. Becoming "buddies" with your kiddos. This is my purpose. This is why I am here. To document these priceless memories for you to have and hold for the rest of your lives, your childrens lives and so on. I thank you for trusting in me. Well I should really get back to my mile long to do list today :D but first off to lunch with my girl! Happy Holidays to you all. xoxo

Denton Wedding : 9.22.12 : part 2

I can not tell you enough how much I adore this couple and their beautiful day. The best location with such great details and so much thought. The wedding was held at her brothers home, which was so perfect.

Denton Wedding : 9.22.12 : part 1

I have been looking forward to this wedding ever since I first started chatting with Holly and she sent me a link to her Pinterst Board! haha I knew that with her creativity and my love for vintage things, that this was going to be so fun to photograph. Her bridesmaids bouquets were picked up the morning of the wedding at the local farmers market, she made her garters, the boutineers & her hair clip has a broach that belonged to her great grandma. Such fabulous DYI details.

Readers: As you look through these photos and you go "Ooooo I love that!" Well, Holly made it. She did a fabulous job on everything!

Holly and Adrian. Thank you for having me be a part of your day. It was beautiful!

The girls got ready at The Victoria, a new Bed & Breakfast in Bentonville that was GORGEOUS! When planning your wedding, it is important to think about where your photos are being taken. Holly did great on choosing a beautiful location for that.




Stay tuned for the ceremony and reception to come.
