We put off Kyle and Natalie’s engagement pics about as long as we could thinking that spring would sprout. It snowed two days leading up to our scheduled date and the two days since but on that day we had beautiful weather. I am so excited to be their photographer. We had such a fun time and I think we already have some fun ideas for the bridals. I cant wait!!
Holy Smokes! Before I get started I just wanted to warn all the men out there that she is taken. Actually not only is she taken but she is a mother of 4. Can you freakin’ believe it? This is my BEAUTIFUL friend Angel. She is one of the nicest people I know. That sounds so generic but it’s not. It’s true. This shoot was so fun for me. My studio is not much to look at. It is so not fancy. So I really enjoy challanging myself to find new looks that I can get out it. I got a little too creative and took her into my laundry room/home gym/catch all room. I think you will be able to tell which pic I’m talking about hahahaha and Angel the nice person that she is didnt even bat an eye. She just pretended like I wasnt out of my mind. Anyways, Thanks Angel. Love ya!
What cute kids! Kaylee and I got along like two peas in a pod. By the time she left she was calling me Darlee and giving me hugs. I wish every 2 year old was this easy to photograph. And baby Ryker wasnt lovin’ me quite as much but we worked it out.
Here is a sneek peek for Eric and Ashley. I am actually going to post more later because there are so many pics I love but it’s getting so late. Love these…
Flowers go with bridal/wedding photos like ham goes with beans (Sorry for the horrible analogy. It’s whats for dinner and the smell is intoxicating). I am telling you brides out there, FLOWERS are IMPORTANT! Flowers bring color! Texture! Your pictures need Studio Stems.
I have never been disappointed by what Studio Stems has dreamed up. SO CREATIVE! Right now, Studio Stems is doing a creative freedom option that ANY bride would be crazy not to book. I have a few offers of my own to compliment what SS is offering.

And because every post needs a pic, here are two of my favorite bouquets Studio Stems has done.
I woke up in the middle of the night with this word on my mind. Not swoosh as in Nike. SWISH! Who remembers this just by the word?
My parents tell of the days when their teachers at school were allowed to snap their knuckles with rulers if they were misbehaving in class. By the time I got to school those days were long gone thank goodness. But there was an equally torturous, completely PC punishment. Swishing. I learned about it on my first day of Kindergarten. Mrs Johnson, the scary front secretary with huge cat eye glasses and stinky musk perfume came marching into Mrs Hansons classroom with a tray full of little cups of aqua colored liquid. So, why did they call it swish instead of mouthwash? I have never heard that word used before or since but it’s the word that woke me up last night.
I wonder if they still do that? I highly doubt it. As a mother now, it seems like a great idea. Someone else forcing my child to ”swish” instead of me. But I have a huge suspicion it isn’t done anymore due to someone claiming it violates their human rights to have stinky breath if they so choose. This country is going to hell in a hand-basket I tell ya!
So, here is to swishing, Mrs Johnson, and really bad school pictures!
What sweet little girls and OH SO FUN to photograph. There is just something about girls. Maybe it’s because I am a mother of two boys. I love their clothes and the willingness to pose for a picture. Almost like they can understand that one day these are going to mean so much to them. Boys on the other hand can sense that scrapbooking will never be in their future and so there is no reason sit still.
And I know it’s premature because yesterday we woke up to snow. We went for a walk today even though it was only 45 degrees. I just cant stay in anymore. I’m even excited to spring clean. I can’t wait to FLING the windows open and smell the spring air and beat the rugs hanging over the clothes line in the backyard. If I had a clothesline and rugs that is. Spring makes me feelwomanly (teehee). I want to snap greenbeans in a colander and make rice pudding. Hmmm…until then I will sit in my slightly dusty, slightly stinky pentup house and watch my kids climb the walls. Cheers!
