Happy Anniversary

Amy and David didn't have wedding photos taken and she has always dreamed of having nice photos taken of her and her husband someday. She told me what she was hoping for and I tried my best to give her everything she wanted.

"Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you I had no control over"

I gave her this tiara as my gift to wear on her wedding day.

She later let our sister Kimberly wear it on her wedding day as her "something borrowed." Maybe when the time comes Andrea can wear it as well.

Amy created a beautiful slideshow with more of the photos to celebrate her 5th anniversary. I really enjoyed how she put it all together with music so I thought I'd share it here for those who haven't seen it on her blog.

Isn't my baby sister just gorgeous!? I can't believe she is already 17. I remember carrying her around on my hip and feeding her pixie sticks before she could even sit up. Shhh, don't tell my mom but my sister loved it.

A Little About Me & Photography

I have always enjoyed photography. As a young girl I remember driving my parents crazy always using the camera and begging them to pay extra for one hour processing. Thank goodness for digital. I love the instant gratification being able to see the photo instantly on the back of the camera. One day I made a cute little tutu and had my daughter model it for pictures. They were some of the best I had ever taken. As I looked over those photos I thought, "I want to learn more." Since then I have taken courses and joined photography groups for knowledge and support as I learn more about photography. Thank you to all of my friends and family who have patiently allowed me to practice on them. Thanks to my sister, Amy, who joins me in this learning journey. A big thank you to my sweet husband who supports and encourages me in all I do. There is so much satisfaction when I capture that perfect shot. I want to capture the everyday moments in a beautiful and creative way. I want to document the ordinary. Like the saying goes..."Enjoy the little things in life...for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things." I hope to record the little things with my photography. Little moments captured forever. It's like time in a bottle.
