YES!

I did my first pin-up shoot yesterday! I'm so excited and I'm loving the way they look! I love these new learning experiences! My friend Erin asked me a while back to take some pin-up shots for her to give to her husband - I'm so happy she did! I love these! More to come!

Hair and makeup by my awesome sister, Allie! 

I also got the chance to hang out with the Coffmans.

And Chelsie & Mike

Happy Monday!

I'm All At Sea

Matt and I are moving to a new apartment, still in Logan, and we've been given the go-ahead to move in tomorrow!! Anyway, we also got to paint a wall - any color we wanted! So, today my friends Tien and Tyler (cute, cute couple!) helped me paint the formerly-wood-paneled wall BLUE! I love it! 

Took these with my phone. Tyler was awesome with the paint roller and Tien was the edge cleaner - we had such a blast! Thanks to T+T for all their marvelous help, I think I would have been in overwhelmed tears without you!
Tien said the wall reminded her of a Caribbean beach house! How cool is that - and she would know, she's been everywhere!

Someone is asking, 'What is new?'

Just a little tip of the hat to one of my favorite movies, 'Ratatouille' - I love it!

Anyway, here are a few teaser pics. This is what is new!

Rochelle's graduation pics.

Christa & Matt's wedding.

Zac's missionary portraits.

Stay tuned for more! I also have a busy weekend coming up! So excited!

Train - If It's Love

I don't know if I've ever mentioned how much I love Train, but I have to say that when I heard this song I fell in love! This one clinches it, they are my favorite band - they got pretty close with "Hey, Soul Sister," but this one takes the cake. I was driving down to Christa and Matt's wedding dinner (photos to come) and I heard this one while on the freeway - man, I wanted to hear it over and over again! And they certainly don't disappoint with videos! So, enjoy and have a great week!

Recharging my Batteries

So, you know that I love Kaitlyn and Jared! Working on their engagements has totally been a peaceful experience! These two are truly in love, I'm tearing up just looking at them - they're our friends also, so we have a genuine interest in their happiness. We love them and we hope they will always know that! 

Kaitlyn's bridals and their wedding are coming up! Check back!

By the way, this post is going to be HUGE! I couldn't really narrow it down, so you're seeing pretty much all of them.

Matt and I will be off for our anniversary next Thursday. I'm heading down to Salt Lake on Monday for a doctor appointment, leg waxing and (the most exciting) to see my nephew and sister in law! Graduation shots on Tuesday plus Christa and Matt's dinner. And on Wednesday it's Christa and Matt's wedding. Busy week for me - I have some shopping to do. See ya!

So, I designed these things . . .

I'm a work in progress. I like them.

Overwhelmed by Messy Apartement

Matt and I will be moving in the next couple weeks (hopefully) and we're in a huge transition phase - meaning out apartment looks like a tornado clobbered its way through. So, we've been slowing boxing things up, since we haven't been given a definite move in date and I don't want to pack up things that we might have to open a box to find later. Anyway, it's a little frustrating. On top of that I'm trying desperately to get caught up on photo projects before Christa and Matt's wedding next week - that way I can head down there with nothing on my plate but the want to be there and have fun! 

With that said, I wanted to share this photo with you. We shot Kaitlyn's bridals a few weeks ago. Now, I wanted to show you one, without showing you - she doesn't want her intended to see her dress. So, we will dance around that. Enjoy!

Happy Wednesday.

Busy, Busy, Busy

So, Matt and I got back from a quick trip to see my parents today. Our weekend started off with a 5 a.m. wake-up on Saturday to make it to Matt's brother Scott's graduation from Green River High School. We had to be there by 10 and we ended up making great time - we got there at 9, which is uncharacteristically timely for us (mostly me, I tend to take longer getting ready). Anyway, the best thing about this weekend was getting to spend a ton of time with my hubby. I love that if I have a terrible day, where nothing goes right and everyone is on my back, I can snuggle up next to him and he makes it all melt away. At the end of the day he's the one who tells me I'm good enough, smart enough, brave enough and all together awesome enough to keep going.
I know that I always include a photo in my posts, but this time I'm going to have to ask for your pardon. I'm working feverishly to catch up with my photo-stuffed computer. It takes a lot of time to edit, some don't realize how much - but I sit at that desk every day and I'm surprised at how this work makes me feel, I love what I see through my camera lens. I hope that I can continue to do this thing that I love.
I'm more busy than I thought I ever would be and I feel so blessed because of it.
I have an incredibly supportive family - most of the time I don't deserve it.
I wish everyone a happy June - I look forward to showing you lots more pictures!
Erin
