Monday through Wednesday we worked on moving into our new place and I somehow managed to meet with two clients, make three trips to the post office, and return about 50 e-mails, on Thursday my parents arrived from Phoenix, on Friday I worked on calligraphy and then at night I photographed an intimate wedding at the beautiful Allan House with a couple who is just as in love as can be and then at 5:00 AM Saturday my husband and I started the drive to Midland, where I photographed another gorgeous wedding with an inspiring couple (and a sweet family I was so happy to see again)! I went to bed at about 1:30 Sunday morning, woke up, drove straight from Midland to the movie theater in Austin to watch Toy Story with my family (Father’s Day celebration) and hug and kiss my son a million times, and now I’m submitting a few print orders so that they’ll be happily waiting when the print shops open tomorrow morning. So, as you can see, LOTS of stuff has been going on – and with it there have been so many blessings! In the midst of personal busyness, I’ve gone through hundreds (perhaps thousands) of images of people who love, have cried happy tears at two beautiful weddings, and experienced a renewed energy for what I do. My commitment to spending the proper amount of time with my client’s images is still going strong and I do believe any additional wait time incurred is well worth it!

And what is a post without some pictures? I have LOTS (must go with blog post title) of love for this bride-to-be, who drove in from Temple with her mom (incredibly patient with Austin’s tendency towards three names per one street) for her bridal portraits. What an honor! She’s selected such a fabulous dress – I can’t wait for the big day in August!!!

Um, yes. She is one beautiful bride!!
