Sticky Announcement!

I am not neglecting the blog! I am just insanely busy right now! Truth is, I was temporarily laid off from my full-time job (for about a month) and was called back sooner than expected. This is normally a good thing, but it’s also bad in that I scheduled wayyy more photo sessions this month than what I normally would have due to the lay-off. SOOOOO…this leaves me with the problem of having way too much photo proofing and editing to do within the time I now have available to me for such. This basically equates to little sleep and putting off anything and everything that can possibly be put off for a week or two…like blogging, unfortunately. I’ll do my best to post a few sneak peaks from my sessions, though!

Also, I will be unable to accept any further sessions now until July. Thank you for understanding!

On Saturday, we attended Army Heritage Day at Carlisle’s Army Heritage Center. The boys really enjoyed seeing the displays and re-enactments from the French & Indian War times up through and including the Civil War, World Wars I and II, Desert Storm and Iraq and Afghanistan. It was especially neat to see the parachute demonstration by the 101st Airborne.

Into the World War I trench exhibit:

Trevor had fun acting the part of a soldier fighting from the trenches:

There were several WWI soldiers hanging out down here:

A glimpse of life in the trenches:

I will have a few more photos to post tomorrow or Friday.

More photos from the wedding! This set includes photos from the ceremony.

Shelly’s parents before the ceremony:

Is this what flower girls do when they get nervous?!? :

Husband and wife!

Reception photos coming soon!

These kiddos were a lot of fun to photograph!  At 11 days old, baby “M” was wide awake for his entire session!  He was SO good, though, and was very content no matter what basket or prop I plopped him into.

Big sister “E” was reluctant to be photographed at first, but then she quickly entered into “show-off” mode and was hamming it up all over the place:

You gotta let loose a little after the camera’s been in your face for an hour!

The little guy had finally had it when it was time for a few sibling shots! I still got some cute ones, though. Here she was telling him “Shhhhh!” It was too cute!

Happy Mother’s Day!  I came downstairs this morning to find a little surprise on the dining room table.  I have been eyeing this set of dishes at Target for what seems like forever now.  They were even on sale about two months ago and I have NO idea why I didn’t buy them then. I mean, come on…they were on SALE!  Hello!!!  Anyway, they made for a nice Mother’s Day surprise!  Now I wonder if I can actually keep my dining room table this clean and uncluttered?!?

I’m thinking I need to go out now and pick up the matching mugs and serving bowl, along with some nice placemats that match the candle in the center of the table! What do you think?!?
 

A few more images from Jason and Shelly’s wedding…

I don’t know how you wedding photographers do it! Getting through several hundred image edits and then deciding which ones to preview on your blog is NOT an easy task!

Still more to come…

Sticky Announcement: I am unable to accept any more bookings this month! If you wish to schedule a session for June or July, please check my calendar on my website before you call or email to make sure the date you want is open. As for June…the evening of the 14th is currently booked, and 6th through 9th are unavailable. Thanks!

My brother Jason was married on Saturday! We never thought we would see the day…but I digress. I normally don’t photograph weddings, but when Jason and Shelly asked me to photograph theirs, how could I possibly say no?!? As I work my way through the 400 images that need to be edited (and yes, those are the “keepers!”) I will be posting some here.

Part 1: Getting Ready!

More to come!

I apologize for my recent lack of updates! I am still alive! Life has been busy, but I will be returning within the next day or two with new posts. First up will be some photos from my brother’s wedding on Saturday!
