My babies

Well, they're not really babies anymore!! I went home to see them this summer. It had been 15 MONTHS since I had seen them and I was soooo excited to be able to actually hug and kiss them and not just skype them. (Although we do have some fun over skype). They ran to me at the airport when I flew in and everyone there did the "ahhhhhh" thing and made me tear up. I love them so much and they have grown so much. I can hardly believe it. My niece Samantha just turned 6, E-bay is now 5 and Race will soon be 4....

Nigarish - 2010 Senior Photos

Nigarish came for her senior portraits a couple weeks ago. She is so cute and has so many great photos. These are just a couple of my favorites. She was super fun and was willing to try any idea. Her expressions were perfect and she is just an overall pro!

Wedding at Willow's Lodge..

A couple weeks ago I assisted Cheryl (In-A-Frame) with a wedding at Willow's Lodge. After the scorching weather they had here (while I was fortunately at home visiting and freezing, in North Dakota), the day of the wedding turned out to be a terrific temperature. The wedding was beautiful, the food was delicious and I have never seen so many people on the dance floor at a reception. What a perfect day!

I helped Theresa with a wedding before I headed back home. It was a very cool Scottish wedding. The groom, his brother and father all wore kilts. I wasn't sold on them before, but I am now! The ceremony was given by the dad of the groom and he gave a lot of interesting facts. I have been reading a series regarding the same type of history and it was very interesting to listen to.

Below are a few images from that beautiful day on Camino Island....

RJ - One year

Shumacher Wedding 07.25.09

Allison has been my longest friend EVER....I think we met each other when we were about 4. Well, she got married this last month and they flew me down for their wedding. I brought along my camera (of course) and did some photos at the grooms dinner and of them getting ready....

Allison, her sister (maid-of-honor) April and Claire (a bridesmaid), are all hairdressers. So, they did everyones hair for the wedding. That included the bride, all the bridesmaids, the wives and girlfriends of the groomsmen, the mothers of the bride/groom AND me! :) Needless to say, they were pretty busy all morning....

Dan did not get to see Allison before the wedding. So, I made sure I was up there with my camera to get his first look. He was so happy...It was hard getting a steady shot cuz he was making me cry... :)

This is Allison's nephew Reid and his Grandma....I just love the connections between little ones with their Grandmas....
