Kesha & Tim

I could tell some pretty embarressing stories about this lovely and beautiful woman, but since most of those stories involve me I think I'll pass this time! But seriously, Kesha is amazing! When she called and told me that she was getting married to Tim I was SO excited for her and not just because I get to go to the beach for her wedding! Tim is one luck guy!

Ryan & Rebecca ~ Seattle, Washinton

Congratulations Ryan and Rebecca!

My cousin Ryan and his beautiful sweetheart Rebecca got hitched last month in the Seattly Washington LDS Temple. It was such a beautiful day surrounded by so many wonderful people! I was able to fly to Seattle with my parents and grandfather and brave the icy, cold and wet Washington weather. From that short trip I decided that I was built for California weather!

Good Idea ~ bathroom baskets

As a wedding photographer I am constantly reading and watching other blogs for inspiration for my future weddings.  Occasionally I come across ideas that are really NEAT!  I find myself saying, "Next time I get married, I'm totally doing that!"  Then I realized I'm cool with the husband I have, so....no next wedding for me.
But that doesn't mean I can't share my find with you!

Today I found someone who created Bathroom Baskets for their wedding reception.  They are baskets filled with items someone might need at a party but may have forgotten or not thought about bringing. Some of the items are
Chapstick 
Lint Roller 
Shout Wipes 
Tide-To-Go Stick 
Gum 
Hand Lotion 
Deodorant 
Colgate Wisps (mini disposable toothbrushes) Mouthwash 

She even has cute poems to place next to the baskets to let guests know that they are free to use what ever they need.  To see the rest of the list and read the poem check out Little Miss Wedding Planner.

Oldies But Goodies

Last week my external hard drive crashed.  I've learned the hard and expensive way a very important lesson...BACK UP everything that is important to you.  It looks like a lot of the images I've taken since last summer may be lost.  Most of the images I have backed up on CD somewhere, but some, like my own personal pictures are lost.  I still have one data recovery place who is going to take a look to see what they can do, but its going to come at a nice price.

So today, I've been backing up some old sessions and images from years past.  I've come across a few images I know I haven't blogged but should have.  So I'm sharing them with you now.  Enjoy!

This little cutie will be 6 years old this year!

More to come, I'm sure.
