Wedding Photos

I finally finished processing and editing photos from the wedding that I photographed on Nov. 10. Despite being very nervous, I got some great photos. The maid of honor arrived at the venue without her dress, and had to drive back to the hotel to get it. (I seem to remember that my Mother-in-law did the same thing!) The wedding started thirty minutes late, but otherwise went smoothly. I had so much fun taking photographs of Jeni and David's wedding. They are a great couple and were very easy to work with. I will post two of my favorite photos, and if I can figure it out, I will post a slide show later.

"God is Making Me Good"

The other day when I was helping our 3-year-old daughter out of her car seat, she said, "Mommy, God is making me good." My first response was to giggle at how cute it was to hear a 3-year-old say that. Then I quickly responded with, "Yes, He is. And He is making me good too." We had a nice little conversation over her comment, and I have been thinking about her comment often. God is making me good. I am thankful that God used my little girl to remind me about Him. (I am also thankful that I bought that CD of praise and worship songs for kids, and that my husband and I have had the patience to listen to it so many times. We had been listening to the CD right before she made her comment. What song, you might ask? God is so Good. Yes, He is.

Cutie Pies

Just some practice shots with my new camera using my two favorite models!

A New Venture

I have not posted in quite some time. Partly it is due to being busy with house, home, and family. We have been painting the outside of our house. Mostly, though, it is because I have been spending most of my spare time reading and researching. A friend of mine hooked me up as the wedding photographer for her sister-in-law's wedding on November 10! So I have been working hard to make sure that I will do a good job.

I have always loved photography, and thought that some day that I would like to be a photographer. Thanks to my friend, I have been given a bit of a jump start in that direction. Over the last several weeks I have been learning as much as I can about my camera and wedding photography. My dear husband is so supportive and helpful to me. He did a lot of research on equipment and even bought me another camera and other gadgets that I can use to photograph the wedding. He has been so great about it! So, now that I have invested, I better get to work. Is anyone getting married soon? Do you need a family portrait?

Dress Up

I found this picture of my sister and I playing dress up. (Sister,I hope this doesn't embarrass you too much.) I thought it was fun to see a picture of myself with my sister doing something that my two girls also love to do.

The Mean Machine

The Rhino that we rented in Moab was a lot of fun. I was amazed at some of the rock that it was able to climb over. My hubby had me scared a few times, and I got myself and the kids out. Here are two photos of a tricky section of the trail.

The Bog

Our friend isn't afraid to try anything, some might say that he is adventurous, but mostly it's just plain crazy. Looking at this picture you might say, "So what, he's just getting a little muddy." If you could see the green water and the disgusting little creatures swarming in this bog, you would know how gross this was. However, it was fun to watch him ride across the water, get stuck halfway through, and finally work himself out of it. My hubby challenged the bog as well, thankfully we didn't get quite so muddy.
