Sunday afternoon I went to the Moebes family shoot.  We were soo worried about the storm and it turned out that we managed the whole shoot without any trouble.  In fact, right when we were leaving the lightning started up.    I’d say that was perfect timing.  I was sooo excited about this shoot I definitely didn’t want to reschedule this one – I’d done pictures for this family when it was just one little girl and now they have a beautiful little boy as well!  It was great catching up!  Thanks Moebes family for a really fun afternoon!

Early Sunday morning was the Kwong family’s photo shoot.  It was great to be at a park so early!  Definitely a wonderful way to start the day.  Our shoot went really well – their daughter is such a smart little girl!  Thanks to the Kwong family for a great morning!

Ok, yes, I did not in fact “run” the first annual Mud Run at Harrah’s to benefit the MS Society.  My brave husband however did.  And Saturday morning I stood out in the open sun, running through thorns, mud, water, hard and very uneven ground (in flip-flops!!  what was I thinking????)  in order to catch some of the highlights from his race.  But it was so worth it.  So much so that I am incredibly sorry I didn’t have the guts to sign up myself!  This gruelling course took the majority of it’s runners more than an hour and a half to complete and I doubt even one of them would regret a moment of it.  From the numerous mud pits (literally pits of watery mud), to the military walls, hurdles, tunnels and rope swings this was such an amazing event!  Sean kept a great pace throughout the entire race pausing only a few times to help others on the race and still came in 4th by only 24 seconds.    I don’t think I’ll be able to keep up his pace, but I’ll definitely give it a go for next year!!

So this Saturday I had quite a day.  First – Mud Run at Harrah’s.  Definitely another post.    And early afternoon – another shoot for the Rickey family.  This time though was special as it included extended family… Nelly, this adorable little monkey, was raised by the Rickey’s since she was only 2 weeks old and has become one of the family.  Now little Nelly is off to a new home and we got together to get some great family portraits of all the kids.  Thanks again to the Rickey family for keeping my day really unique! 

I just love, love, love Bee Tree Park!  This weekend was the Bradshaw family’s photo shoot and the girls wore these completely adorable white dresses… that worked sooo well in the field of barely cut grass and wild flowers.  I love that Bee Tree Park doesn’t always cut their grass.    It gives such a whimsical look to the shots!  Thanks Bradshaw girls for a wonderful Sunday afternoon!

Carrie and Andrew had an amazing wedding last Saturday!  This is a seriously fun couple and I can’t say enough how happy I was to be able to shoot their wedding!  This adventurous bride even scaled a wall… in her wedding dress!!… for the sake of a cool shot.  That’s right – think about it girls.  Climbing up a nearly 5ft tall wall in heels… and then add in a ballgown with a train… Carrie you definitely raised the bar.    Seriously though, it was a great day!  Congratulations again!!!
