Portrait Session Trio and Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had intended on posting earlier and mentioning all of the things I am thankful for, more for our own purposes... to look back in a year or so and see what we were up to (other bloggers will totally understand this), but we were super busy this week and the free time I did have was dedicated to editing. That's a good thing, though. Being busy with shooting, editing (working!) and spending time with our fantastic family and friends are some of the things for which I am most thankful.

Here are a few of our favorite images from some recent portrait sessions we had in Kingman, AZ! These kids are all INCREDIBLY cute! 

Here's our facebook page if you'd like to see more of what we've been up to. 

Being a wedding photographer gets you a front row pass to some of the sweetest moments! When their wedding ceremony was over, Ryan and Catherine were whisked away to a little room to sign the marriage license out of sight from their guests. In this room, there was a quiet moment where I heard Catherine whisper to Ryan "we're married!". It was a super awesome moment and one of the reasons why I love weddings as much as I do. Here are a few (ok... a ton) of images from their wedding day!

Cassie & Dustin Engaged! Part II

You may recognize this adorable couple from their San Diego Engagement session. We also met up for a local session, which was awesome. They are always making each other laugh or sharing a kiss and I'm guessing anyone who knows them has made this observation, too! It's a good thing... to be totally in love! :) I can't wait for their upcoming December wedding!

Mini Meltdown

On Friday, about an hour before I left for our 11/11/11 wedding, my computer stopped working. As in... completely dead. I had a bit of a panic attack. The people around me at the time must have thought I was insane (Thank you Rob for putting up with me).

Thankfully, my husband reminded me that everything we needed (and all of our work!) was backed up and we could always replace the computer if we needed. So my ridiculous anxiety subsided (a little), AND the wonderful people at the Apple store have brought my computer back to life! So now I can get back to editing after a forced 4-day hiatus and hopefully get some pictures delivered and blogs posted.

Breathing is much easier now, too! :)

Brooke & Billy are Married!

This wedding was fun and intimate. Brooke & Billy had an outdoor ceremony and reception. It rained the night before, which had me a little concerned knowing how much Brooke wanted to be outdoors, but the morning of their wedding the sky was blue and the sun was warm. It turned out to be a beautiful day!

As part of their guest book, they had guests leave a thumbprint and signature.

Thomas & Danisha are Engaged!

Thomas & Danisha won their engagement session from A Sophisticated View Photography this past June at the Bridal Fashion Debut! I met up with them at Westgate, which is where they had their first date! They are super cute, totally in love and excited for their October 2012 wedding!
