A Moment Captured Photography

{wow!}

The response has been huge following the Bridal Fest - thank you so much!  Please know that we are working through the call back list and emails as quickly as possible and will hopefully be caught up by tomorrow.

 Your kind words are so sweet, thank you!

{Bridal Fest 2010}

It was a great day at the Convention Center!  I met so many wonderful brides, grooms, moms, a few dads and friends.  The three hours zipped by so fast.  I loaded the car, made my way back home and had numerous e-mail inquiries in my box.  I am working my way through the list and will wrap of the remainder tomorrow. 

The funniest thing of all.......and, seriously, what are the odds???  But, the young lady who won the engagement session also won THE shoes!  It was definitely her day - and, she is a  sweetie, so this should be fun.  When her name was drawn the 2nd time, I had to review the names, I couldn't believe it myself.  I think she was pretty stunned as well when she received the call!  Congratulations Casey! 

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth!  Congratulations and my absolute best wishes!

{Bridal Fest 2010}

Have been busy in this 'seasonal' {aka very cold temperatures and illnesses} downtime getting ready for the exciting 2010 sessions and weddings.   Today I will be at the Fort Smith Convention Center for the Bridal Fest, stop by and see us! 

{no words}

I had planned on giving a big  update of sessions, edits, etc since I had vanished due to "the season".  My last orders arrived today, so I was about to settle in and enjoy the rest of the season. 

But, instead I got a terrible phone call that a sweet friend passed away suddenly today. I have sat in utter shock. My heart is broken.  It is so surreal.  I grew up with Jill and had gotten to know her so much better over the past 2-3 years when our children attended MDO together.  Today, I've remembered our conversation as I took her babies pictures last year.  I remember her laugh.  I remember her happiness when she saw them.  I remember deliverying them to her.  I remember seeing her over this past year.  I remember seeing her for what would be my last time. 

I will never understand this.  It is such a huge loss - it's just not right.

Please take the time to pray for the Jill Jones-Holcomb family.  For her husband Kenny and her sweet little ones, Chloe and Chaz as well as her precious mom and dad. 

My heart is shattered as are so many others.....

{tis the season}

i am interrupting editing, editing and more editing to bring you this........

 

pure sweetness!  in a big gold frame on an easel by the fireplace....

thanks, boys!  xoxoxo!  

{indeed....thankful}

How do I even express it?  After a very trying month of illnesses for my little family - all of which I am grateful were not any worse than they were - and, while they occurred in the midst of the busiest time of the year....following the rainiest October in history...I am very thankful.  

Although we will not be having "Thanksgiving" in our home for the first time in many years because now, my little guy is sick, really, tomorrow will be no different than all of my other days.  I am always thankful.   I am thankful for this sweet family, for incredible friends and clients - both old and new.  I hope I have captured moments that you will forever treasure.  

I wish each of you and incrediable Thanksgiving holiday!  And, although I will be taking time off to enjoy mine - I will be back at it on Monday!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
