Cookie

We did it...gave in and got a kitten for Malakai. No worries, her home is in the barn and not in the house. Gideon is enough inside! I was doing some yard saling on Monday at the neighbors and there were these adorable little kittens (of course they were free:) so I called Eric and he told me I could bring one home. So me and the kitten (along with a whole car full of goodies) came down the road beeping the horn excited to show the boys what I just brought home for them. Side note...I never go yard saling but I can see how it can be addicting. It doesn't get any easier than your next door neighbor having one. We asked Malakai what he wanted to name his new kitty and his response, "Cookie!" Gideon isn't sure if he should eat her, lick her, chase her, or be jealous of her. This morning we had to put Gideon in his crate so Mommy and Malakai could have some "Cookie Time". She is well loved...

Mark & Lindsay: Bridal Portraits

It's ironic...the way I get to meet certain couples. This was Mark & Lindsay's one year anniversary photo session. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, they didn't have any portraits of just the two of them on their wedding day. So, they found me and asked Eric and I to do a bridal portrait session. COME ON...are you kidding? Absolutely! This is every wedding photographer's dream. A two hour session with the bride and groom, at the location of their choice...no time limits, space limits, no holds barred. Just play, experiment, play, experiment. What a blast! Within 10 seconds, I had submerged myself in a nice big patch of stinging nettle...OUCH! My feet were burning (and so were Lindsay's) the entire time, but it didn't phase me much because I was in my zone. Here's the happy couple...
