I came across a really cool photography blog tonight called I HEART FACES and they hold weekly photo contests. This weeks theme is wedding bells and I couldn't resist entering this picture of Natalie and Milton... are they not oozing love and passion for each other in this shot?! Plus this weeks guest judge is Jasmine Star and I absolutely adore her so just to have her look at one of my pictures is a prize in itself!
Here's a quick sneak peek from Gabe's newborn session today. He was so unhappy with us for taking his warm blanket off of him but I just love how his mommy's hand is there to soothe him. 
So, I've recently been on the great bike search and how awesome is this??? I could haul both kids and all of my photography gear...holla!!! Click on the Madsen banner directly bellow to help me win one and I'll love you forever, I may even give you a ride in the bike-tub! <3
Here's a quick sneak peak from Angie and Mark's maternity session today. I can't wait to show you more and to tell you their story!!!
So, since I like getting comments on my blog I'm going to bribe you with a contest. Yes, I have no shame! lol This week the winner will be the person who lives the farthest away from me... and since the week is basically over already you have until Sunday at midnight. You will get a cool prize in the mail if you win so hurry up and go leave some comments!
Oh, and since a photogrpahy blog is no good without pictures here's a quick one from Jared's "stud session" today! : )
I had such a fun time photographing Mariah's maternity session a few weeks ago despite the craziness of actually trying to make it to her in one piece... right as I was leaving for her session my brakes decided to go out in my car. Thank God that I wasn't on the highway yet and was only traveling about 30 mph when I discovered that I had no brakes. This is the second time in my life that God has saved me from faulty brakes! Thankfully my good friend and fellow photographer Chantel Sutberry was nearby to rescue me and drive me an hour away to Mariah's house! Of course she had her camera and got some great shots that day too! Mariah is really into photography and was willing to do whatever I asked of her to get some amazing shots and I loved that about her! Mariah and her husband have an adorable 23 month old named Sidney who joined us for the first half of our session. They have opted to not find out the sex of this baby until the birth (which is scheduled for Father's Day!!!). Eric is being deployed to Iraq for a year just a couple of short weeks after the baby arrives... feel free to leave some comments thanking him for his amazing sacrifice in serving our country!!! 
Silly Sidney had a lot of fun playing with my sunglasses!
Isn't she just adorable! She kept lifting up her dress to show us where "her baby" is... HA!
Then we moved inside for a bit where Mariah let us strip her down and wrap her up in some fabric that I had been dying to try out. See what I mean about willing to do what it takes? LOL
I know some of these are very similar but I'm very indecisive at times! It was hard enough narrowing them down for the blog! 
crisp and clear...
or faded with flare??? See, indecisive! 
I'm not sure why but this picture makes me happy...
Then it was Sidney's bedtime so Mariah got dressed and we got a few more shots of her and Eric.
I love how he's looking at her in this picture <3
Is she not just the cutest pregnant person ever?!
As I was packing up my gear to go home I discovered an ultrasound picture on the table and had to have one last shot!
OK, I know this seems like the never ending blog post but I promise that this is the last part... I think... ha!

Cutting the yummy cupcake!
This series makes me laugh...
Milton thought it might be funny to smash cake in Natalie's face...
until he realized she was holding the knife!
And speaking of cake... Natalie is the only person I know who doesn't like cake so they opted for a cupcake bar instead. It was amazing! I highly recommend the gooey butter cake cupcakes!!! 
First dance as husband and wife! <3
Instead of a dj, Natalie's amazingly talented cousins provided the music for the evening. They were great! The guy on the bottom left was actually a contestant on Nashville Star (the American Idol of country music)
I have never been to a reception where everyone spent the entire evening on the dace floor. Every single person there was a dancing machine!
They had "dancing shoes" for the girls that had cute little sayings attached to each pair. 
They also had a photobooth that everyone loved!
The guests were able to post their pictures along with a message into a guest book for Natalie and Milton
The bride and groom even snuck in for a few pics!
Then we ended the evening with a few night shots! <3
Again, a big thank you to my second shooter Chantel Sutberry with Sutberry Photography www.sutberryphotography.com and to my gorgeous couple Natalie and Milton... I love you guys!!!
