SUMMER PRIZE #5…a bit delayed. sorry.

July 18, 2008

SUMMER PRIZE #4: FREE 1 HOUR SESSION!!!! *Certain Restrictions apply

I’ll even make this kinda easy…since the last prize had a hard question. By the way, the language I spoke as a child was Castilian.

So…who wants a free session????

I’m fond of the number 5, so how about the fifth person to email me (christinemay@sbcglobal.net) and say “I WANT FABULOUS PICTURES!” WINS!

Please also include your Name, Address, & a Phone number I can use to contact you.

Must send email by midnight Sunday, July 20th.

I know this is a race, but even if you email and don’t get the prize, you’ll still be entered into the Grand Finale Prize at the end of the summer. It’s worth the try, trust me.

BEST OF LUCK!

Congratulations, Andrea & Andy!!!!

Guess who got a new Macro Lens?…

I DID!!! I DID!!!!

I love how much closer I can get to the little details and capture all the intricate details.

This is my lovely Bride of the day…Andrea! When I left my house to meet up with her at the salon, it was pouring so bad outside that I couldn’t go any faster than 45mph on the highway due to low visibility. BUT I always stay optimistic about rainy wedding days. I’ve only had 2 ever that rained the whole day. Most times it will clear up just in the nick of time…and it did for Andrea. HURRAY!

After the salon we grabbed some Taco John’s. It was my first time eating there and those potato crowns are AMAZING! YUM YUM!

As if to scare us even more, we had this big, fat TV on the weather channel as the girls were getting ready. BUT my optimism is stronger than some dreary weather forecast.

This picture is thanks to Karen, who wanted to grab proof that I’m more than just a photographer. I can bobby pin stray hairs, too!

I thought I would include this one to humor Karen. She said I looked like a creepy stalker in this pic…and I would have to agree. 🙂

AMORE!

LOOK! It cleared up. Positive thinking has taken effect.

Best Jumper Award goes to October (The bridesmaid on the far right). Love the enthusiasm.

We all had to talk Andrea into this one…but it’s sooooo cute!

I introduced the “Pound It” method of greeting people to the two flower girls (Isabel and Jersey). They were practiced the “pound it” all through the reception. They are good students. 🙂

Whoa, who’s that good lookin‘ couple?!

When I was uploading that organizing pictures and saw this one…I couldn’t stop laughing for several minutes (which is pretty pathetic because it was late last night and I was all alone…laughing by myself at my computer screen).

Had to include this one too…I didn’t really hear what the minister said but I took the picture right as I saw him waving in my direction … and I was about to wave back because I thought he was waving at me…luckily I glanced at my viewfinder and noticed there was another hand waving in the crowd. Another close call to embarrassing myself.

I snapped this right after Andrea & Andy surprised each of their mother’s with a rose. It was an extremely heartfelt moment. This is Andrea’s mother and brother.

Another majestic early-evening shot of Stony Point Hall. This is my second time out there and it is even more beautiful than I remember it.

Gotta give a shout out to Brandon (left) who videotaped, Justin (middle) who did a wonderful job walking his sister down the isle, and Brent (right) who I spontaneously recruited to help me photograph the ceremony (just like in Mexico last year…and again did a perfect job.)

Major credit to Karla, the cake-lady. Beautiful as always!

Can you tell this is the Groom’s cake?

I love how there’s a little extra touch to creative lighting inside Stony Point. It really adds to the atmosphere.

FISH FACE!

First dance as husband & wife.

Best Dance Move Award goes to Jersey and her dance partner. Good height on that one!

More mood lighting.

Wanted to also give special mention to Larissa and Brent Edmonds. They were my Bride & Groom last June…are even more in love that when I first met them.

Awe, yes…as the saying goes…”Opposites Attract”. Andy is a fan of Wild Cats and Pepsi…Andrea is a fan of Jayhawks and Coke.

Love me some good bubble action! Andrea & Andy are off to Vegas tomorrow!

Congratulations you two! Have fun on your honeymoon!

Niki’s BIG-BAD-4th-BIRTHDAY!

July 11, 2008

With work piled high and my To-Do-List never ending, I completely forgot to plan something for Niki’s birthday. I know…BAD MOM! Major guilt, trust me. So I took the day off and we had ourselves a KID-FULL day….going to places like Monkey Business, Chucky Cheese, Toys R Us, and out for pizza. It was a fun day I hope will live in her childhood memories years from now.

This was our first time at “Monkey Business” and it won’t be our last. As simple as this place appears, it is the perfect place to run around and play with your kids (not just watch). I chased my kids up, down, and all around so much that my body is scolding me for not being in better shape. OWWWIEEE!

POOL TIME!

July 11, 2008

Monday was my first time swimming this summer! Usually, I annoy all my friends and family by attacking them immediately with sunscreen…but on this particular day, I coated my kids but neglected my husband and myself. Consequently, we both got red as radishes. OUCH! I thought about including a picture of my husband’s majorly peeling back, but thought I would spare everyone the horror. 🙂

This was (what my sister and I call) a “Pointy-Toe Day”. When we have one of those happy, everything going great days…we call them “Pointy-Toe Days”.

This is basically what my daughter did the whole time.

My son finally has grown the courage to try swimming under water. I’m so proud of him.

Usually the kids wear the parents out…today, it was the opposite.

Here’s us adults soaking up the rays.

I love summer time!

Fourth Of July Fun!

July 11, 2008

I’m pretty backed up on work right now, but I thought I would put a few recent pictures on really quick. These are from the Fourth of July. We had a good time with sparklers (my favorite).

Yes…my kids had WAY too much sugar. 🙂
