Jerry + Cheryl :: I Do

I had the pleasure of photographing Jerry and Cheryl's wedding at Cedar Creek Estate Winery a few weeks ago. Such a beautiful location and although we were in a slight fight with the skies that day...nature was on our side and the sunshine took over.

The day was completed, enjoying great company with a fabulous reception at The Harvest Golf Club. Wonderful food, amazing location and the DJ services of Dave Shannon Music.

Thank you Jerry and Cheryl for being most fantastic. You are one rockin' couple and have the greatest families. I was truly honored to be a part of your day.

No more waiting...here are a few from the day...

What is not to love about Cheryl's dress??

Cha Changin'.

It's that time. Changes are coming I tell yah. The reason...well...I am just not lovin' the limitations of blogger. So, I am going to try another route! Yay. Very excited and will be working on a new look in my "free time". Hoping to debut it sooner rather than later...

Oh and for those who know how often I change my mind. I am only talking about the blog...dont worry...I am still totally loving my logo!

I am aware that some people are having issues commenting and I am sorry for the frustration is causes. I know it would drive me nuts! No idea why it happens...but I am working on the solution.

Thanks all. Always appreciate the blog love!

Of course, a photo is a must...

beauty. inside & out.

I love everything about summer. The sunshine. The beaches. The smell of Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen. My birthday week [yes I said week]. Its the time of year that just brings a smile to my face and I wish it would never end.

Of course it is also a reminder of change. The kids finish school, graduate a class and move forward. This year was a big one for our oldest girl as she graduated grade 5 and is now heading to middle school. She will no longer be able to walk down the hill as she did this year or call me for surprise lunch dates [they will be missed]. So much change in so few days, but I really cannot help but be excited for what the future holds. Haley, you are an amazing young lady. We are so very proud of you and all that you have accomplished. Your "G's" were the icing on the cake. We just adore you.

I was able to snap this one as she was rushing in to grab her shoes for the big day. I begged her for a quick moment in front of my camera. I received a sweet smile and nod...then rushed to capture her in all her beauty. Six photos were taken. This one I love.

man baby.

This "growing up" thing is getting a little old. ha.

Simon graduated (hehe) from his first year of pre-school this past Tuesday. I dont even know how we got here so quickly? But I do know that I am insanely proud of him.

Things started off a little rough. Tears were shed and leg grabbing was frequent. I of course was sad for him. As the time passed it turned into quick kisses and smiling waves, I of course was sad for me. The little boy who needed me so much was growing up.

On Tuesday I stood alongside my husband as we both beamed at all that he had accomplished. He walked into the room with his class, spotted the brother that he so adores and made a run for him! He was not in the least bit shy or nervous. The time came for the class to show off their singing skills and he belted out Herman the Worm like no bodies business. He skipped on the next song and then rocked his Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. We smiled.

Thank you to Miss Heather & Miss Kirsten from Learning for Little People for allowing Simon to be a part of your class. I have watched him change so much over these months. He truly enjoyed his time with you.

Of course, here are a few snaps of the man baby, one of his many nicknames. If only we could freeze time.

**on a side note...the top two photos were taken while holding our youngest on my hip. I was pretty happy all things considered!**


spotting his big brother. it totally made his day!
