Stay Tuned....

Wow what a wickedly packed few weeks we've had!! We've got tons o' stuff to post. 4-5 weddings, engagements, tons of seniors, portfolio shoots, and a couple commercial shoots. Our heads are still spinning and we are barely alive. Anywho, we're hoping to make first fridays again so if you're down in the area shoot us an email we'd love to see ya!! layta peeps!

Thoughts of the future....

School's done I can't believe it!!! First it was 6 years in the Navy, then 5 years in college + Summer School(changing your Major will set you back a bit). Its been a tough 11 years at one point I held 4 jobs, what a mistake that was. But these last few months were the most rigorous; trying to control a growing business, keeping up with a more than full college schedule, starting a new development project, and trying to dedicate time to my family was massively difficult. But I managed and I realize today how open the horizon is....Our future is what we make it to be. I've always told the people that I've mentored, "regardless of your greatest successes and your most dismal failures you most always KEEP MOVING FORWARD. Change is inevitable, we must always move towards it"

My Wife....

My wife and I have experienced so many changes over the past few years and not all of them were good, some were devastating losses and others life changing gains, but every step of the way she was always by my side, always. When I was on the other side of the World in Conflict, or on the other side of the state on some humanitarian effort, she supported me regardless of my cause; through thick and thin she was there. Behind every Man there is a great Woman holding him together and helping him to stay on track. Happy Mother's Day to some of the strongest Women in our lives....Thank you for being our strength.

Yay! Chris graduated from ASU yesterday. We're sooo excited that he's done!!! :o)

A dangerous job or a clutz?

We were out shooting an engagment session with Tom & Michelle, and they wanted to incorporate Tom's car into the engagement session because it's one of his passions to restore vehicles. So we had this brilliant idea of heading out to the desert. We get there and we're stopped by security telling us we had to have a permit. I'm thinking, what in the heck is security doing out here?! Turns out we were on the property of a nearby resort. Chris then leaves to go and talk to whoever he needs to talk to. He turns to me and says, "keep shooting." Talk about being put on the spot! I'm standing there thinking, ideas?!, ideas?, ideas?!

We or I mean, "I" continue the session and we're trying to hurry because we had a pretty good feeling we had to reschedule for a later date and there was going to be fee. While I'm rushing around I scraped my foot on a piece of branch..ouch! My foot is sort of bleeding but I finish up until Chris gets back to tell us we have reschedule.

When we get home, Chris starts taking out these HUGE splinters. Very painful! (i'm a wimp) The next morning I wake up to find my foot swollen. Chris finally convinces me to go to the doctor because he said it's probably infected and I wouldn't want my foot cut off!! Rude!

I get to the doctors office, and it's infected. So the doctor puts me on antibiotics and gives me a tetnus shot! Turns out later that day, I have an allergic reaction to the shot. I started to break out in hives and my arms and face got super swollen! I go back to the doctors the next day and I'm given all these pills to take! Ugh!!!!! ...oh and I can't wait until their wedding at the end of the month. :o)

We have seriously been crazy busy. We're still shooting Senior Sessions for this year! We love our procrastinators! Here's one of them, Lex. Gotta love her!

After watching Heroes last night we watched a little bit of The Real Wedding Crashers. Quite funny, although, I'm not sure if I could go through some of things that we're happening throughout the entire wedding! Here's a small clip from part of the episode from last night.

It is time to Save the World.

I don't know how many of you are Heroes fans, but it's a all new episode tonight! Chris and I hardly ever watch tv but we definitely make time to watch Heroes. It's the beginning of 5 new episodes.

TINY SPACES...
Treston has his own little space that he likes to walk in and out of. Chris crawled in and got stuck. Now Treston wouldn't let him out.

I can't believe I forgot to post up an engagement session we did with Chris and Rebekah! I was looking through some of our slideshows today and came across theirs and realized I hadn't even posted up their images. So here they are and click on slideshow to see it all. (I love the song they picked out.) We had a great time hanging out them and can't wait for their wedding in September!

And another...Lacey, another gorgeous girl and TALL. I think I may have gotten on a chair a couple of times just to get the right angle. I'm only 5, yes, only 5 and not an inch taller :o( Lacey was definitely model material. Everything we did with her looked great.
