feels like Sunday

They're good ones, these kiddos of mine. I made a new promise to take a break from editing client's images every once in awhile to dote on my own family's memories. And I thought I should back up and start posting some oldies so you can see the huge difference when I share all things new. Like Amberly's new haircut (it was down to her lower back and now it's chin length), and Aiden's new glasses (I had no idea he couldn't see a thing until recently, poor guy), and my new dark brown hairdo (always been a blonde)... lots of fun stuff. I know a couple of potential brides/clients are waiting on re-hosted sample galleries... bear with me, I'm getting there. I'll hopefully have them posted by tomorrow. Happy Sunday!

the flowers

I'm very fond and proud of my friend Ivy's work, so the flowers got some GREAT coverage :). The Garage :: by Ivy is the ultimate artsy/boutique-style florist for weddings & events in the Phoenix area. I'll say it a million times; Anyone planning a wedding or party... she's your girl!

In the flesh, rrroowwwwrrr! Ivy played a big role in planning the entire wedding, and also served as a bridesmaid AND the florist. Suuupergirl! Check her blog for more flowery goodness.

 

rocky & meredithe | round 1

I had the blessing of photographing the most gorgeous, funnest, backyardiest, warm-fuzziest wedding in the world a couple weekends ago. The girls started the big day getting ready at Carefree Resort & Villas, and then we all headed to M's parent's home in Scottsdale for the not-so-quaint backyard ceremony & celebration. I need a break from my editing frenzie, so I'll blow off some steam by sharing a few of the "getting ready" shots. Lot's more images a'comin!

I have to shout out a huge THANKS to my friends, Jeanette Leblanc & Rochelle Oleson for helping me 2nd and 3rd shoot!

M's hair and make-up design was by super talented artist/bridesmaid, Jaime. I hope she sends me her contact info to share with the world (psst!). She's truly amazing!

 

Dear most beautiful bride ever ever,
I have something red-hot luscious for youuuu....

 

This custom storybook album contains a classy boudoir session, so the pages beyond the sexy red leather are way too hot for this family friendly blog. Blog readers, you'll have to use your imagination :). Mrs. S, this baby will be in the mail in a jiffy!

I'll be posting some sneak peek images + a slideshow from the big day sometime within the next few days. Stay tuned =).
