Ba-Bye Summer!

Three day weekend!! Thank you, Labor Day!! I feel like this weekend marks the end of summer... like the last hurrah before Fall rolls around... Dave and I plan on a relaxing & fun filled weekend... starting with Date Night tonight! Then a photo shoot on Saturday... some relaxing Saturday night... then BBQ with friends on Sunday... then visiting with more friends on Monday... huuuuh.... it's going to be FUN!! I hope you enjoy your long weekend -- because I sure will =) Happy Labor day weekend!!

And what's a post without pictures? Here are a couple of pictures that remind me of summer... enjoy!

September!

First of all, I can't believe it's September already! Do you know what that means? It's almost Fall! First, it'll be Halloween! Then, it'll be Thanksgiving! Then, before you know it --- it's Christmas time! Eeeek! This is the time that moves all too rapidly for our liking... Anyway, I'm going to slow things down a bit (sorry if I gave you a panic)... I'm personally very excited about September... and I thought I'd list the reasons why =)

September 4:  I get to capture (or recapture) Jackson & his parents to mark his 6 month birthday... yay! [The image below was from his newborn session I got to capture]





September 10: I fly up north to spend a long weekend with my sister! Yay!

September 12:  I'm shooting an engagement session for my bride & groom that live in Maryland, and are getting married in Fort Lauderdale for their 10/10/10 wedding! Yay!

September 13: I drive to Washington D.C. and will be attending my very first WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) event!! My first HUGE photography conference! EEEEE!!! I mean, I love my sister -- but yes, this will be the highlight of my September! Here are the awesome photographers that I'll get to meet and learn from...





September 22: The first day of Fall!! My all time favorite season!! Since down in Florida we don't really have the foliage that you see up north, I like to deck out my house with Fall decor... Michigan brides (or any northerner), if you need a wedding photographer for your Autumn wedding -- I'd be delighted to capture it =) [Images below are from Nick & Donna's Fall engagement session -- but soon you'll see their wedding images]




September 26: Season Premiere of DEXTER!!! Eeeeee!! That's all I'm going to say about that!



It's going to be a fun filled September... and I am beside myself with excitement! Happy Wednesday!!

iheartfaces: "photojournalism" | Michigan Wedding Photographer

As I thought of an entry for this week's photo challenge at "iheartfaces" for the "photojournalism" theme, I decided to post an image from the Michigan wedding that my husband and I shot this weekend... So, this post will be a two for one deal -- I get to enter a photo challenge and share a wedding teaser... ahhh... love efficiency =)

This image was taken at Nick & Donna's wedding ceremony... such a sweet moment... these are the moments I love LOVE to capture... the candid moments as the wedding day unfolds... the laughter... the tears... the tender smile between bride and groom... like this one... I don't need to narrate for you to understand this image... you can see it in Donna's eyes... in her dimples... and in Nick's smile... you can see it... and you can feel it... the Love...
