There she is…

Posted on January 29, 2009

This past weekend I attended a Miss America Party. These girls were serious. We watched 4 hours of the TLC reality show “Countdown to the Crown” first before the big show. There was even crowns for each of us to wear (and of course lots of snacks).

We had a transplant from Indiana there so she was very excited that Miss Indiana won. It was a good time all around. Snacks, girl talk, and a beauty pageant – a great way to spend the day!

Christmas!

Posted on January 15, 2009

Christmas is definitely my favorite holiday and since we have been together I think it has become Ben’s as well. It is always full of chaos that can be frustrating yet exhilarating at the same time. We were very consumed with the activities of the day that we didn’t get out the camera too much.

My mom made an awesome sticky bun for breakfast. A new tradition possibly?

We actually had a relaxing Christmas this year. A big change from previous years when it is rush rush rush back and forth between both sets of parents. It was so relaxing that we were able to take a nap! And I got to help my mom with dinner which I really enjoyed.

I love Christmas!!!

Warmer weather

It is barely even winter and I am already longing for some warmer weather. I love this photo that Ben captured. The sun poking through the leaves just inspires me to not let the winter blues get me down. It all comes back around!

Plus I figured Southwest Virginia needs atleast one big snowstorm before it gets warm again. So I can wait patiently.

Abby + Hunter + Aaron

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of photographing the Gresham Family. Abby is their 2 year old daughter and is a cutie! She grabbed my hand and showed me all around the house. She couldn’t wait to show me her Elmo balloon she had just gotten at Elmo LIVE! That thing was bigger than she was!

She really was all over the place and full of energy and attitude.

We, of course, had to stop for a milk break.

We really lucked out that in the middle of December the weather was actually really nice so we headed outside to the river to grab some shots.
My favorite of the day. Ben & I are thinking of getting this as a canvas to decorate our office with. We already have a list that we need get printed and this one jumped to the top.
