Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Kramer!

On 11♥11♥11 Mr. Cody Kramer & Miss Megan Harvey tied the knot! And I am honored to have been a part of it!
Cody and Megan are high school sweethearts and have been together nearly 7 years!Wow!! Not very often you see that anymore, but after meeting these two I can see why it's lasted. They are beautiful people inside & out and they make it easy for anyone to like them.
On a day full of stress and nerves they both treated me, a stranger, like they'd known me for years. I can honestly say this was one of the funnest weddings I have ever been to, and such a great bunch to work with too! It was a riot to watch them and their 5 groomsmen and 5 bridesmaids ham it up for the camera.

Cody & Megan, congratulations on your new life, I know you'll be together for your 50th and beyond!

Welcome Home 391st!

 Saturday November 19, 2011 was a very important day in Boise, Idaho for many Treasure Valley families. It was the day they got to welcome home their Husbands, Wives, Fathers, Mothers, Brothers, Aunts, Uncles & Friends. It was the day the 391st got to come home!

 I was very blessed in being able to be there and witness the reunion of so many families! My main goal was to capture this moment for my friend Gillian and her kids, as her husband Ben came home at last! It was impossible not to smile seeing their kids barely able to contain the excitement of daddy coming home! What a special moment for so many, and a moment I pray they never have to have again as it would mean they would have had to say goodbye to their loved ones yet again.

 I want to offer a HUGE than you to the 391st & their families for all the sacrifices they made the past year for our country, most of whom are strangers to them. Thank you!

There was another couple, Shane & Charity, whom I haven't had the pleasure of meeting, but whose reunion I was also able to capture. Shane was finally able to meet his 9 week old daughter, how awesome is that!?

I am still working on the 11/11/11 wedding I photographed, there are so many pictures! But I will get a blog up soon. Trying to get better at this blog thing :)

Moving on

Well October is nearing an end and since November is going to bring lots of photo opportunities I am, for now, done posting my 35mm shots and moving on to my more recent sessions and on to digital photography :) Tonight I am going to post pictures of one of the cutest couples ever! They recently got married on October 8th. I wasn't able to take their engagement and wedding pictures but I was lucky to be able to take some shots of them last year before they got engaged. Joe & Ashley congratulations we adore you both!

And of course I have to post all the fun we had with these two! As you can tell from the next collage, they love to laugh and that I believe is one of the ingredients to a successful relationship!

And though I was not their wedding photographer my husband Randy took a few shots as we were blessed to see them say I do!

Congrats you too and have fun on the honeymoon in Cabo this week!
