The Goings On – Second Edition

Sooo much has been going on lately, things have been kinda nuts! I figured I should give an explanation as to why I’ve been such a slacker with the blog posting, so it’s time for the second edition of “The Goings On”. Fun!

But because no blog post is fun without any pictures, I decided to post two more images from my session with Alissa!

Umm, how gorgeous is she?! Hotness!

Anywho, here are the goings on:

* My wedding is 2 1/2 weeks away! I can’t believe it. There is sooooo much to be done, I have lists and lists, and included on those lists is figuring out my dress, which brings me to…

* The dress debacle! My dress came in the other week too short. Like too short even with no shoes. So the shop ordered another one and we’ve been crossing our fingers that it comes in on time. And it did! Hooray! Except the lace on some parts of the dress is bright white and on other parts is ivory to match the dress. Soooo basically right now my dress is in lots of little pieces so the bright white lace can be dyed to ivory and then all put back together. Fingers crossed it all comes out well!

* Late last night we received the news that my Nonna passed away. I wasn’t sure whether or not to post about it, but if I’m going to do a post about what is going on, I figured I should. Plus, it kind of makes me feel better to write about it believe it or not. I’ve never lost anyone so close before so it’s been tough, but she lived an amazing 95 years and we are trying to focus on celebrating her and her life, and taking comfort that she is in a much better place now, instead of being sad.

* I’m supposed to be moving all of my stuff into my and Mikey’s new place on Thursday and I’m totally not packed – AT ALL. With my Nonna passing away, it looks like the move in date may be pushed back to next week anyway, but I have to pack like a mad woman!

* And last but not least, I have soooo much posting to do! But with the wedding coming up and moving and the funeral, this cute little blog may (hopefully not!) be slightly neglected over the next couple of weeks! But I promise to do my best to get lots of posts up while still maintaining my sanity.

So that’s about it for now. I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday night. It’s time for me to go pack! :-)

Sunday Afternoon :-)

I’m supposed to be packing for when Mikey and I move into our new place, but I really really hate packing. Like, a lot. Sooo instead I’m procrastinating! YAY! And what better way to procrastinate than with a random blog post? So here is a photo I took of Karen this past winter that I just really like and thought I would post since I never got around to it before. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! Now it’s back to packing for me. Boo.

Natalie

Natalie is quite possibly the prettiest baby I have ever seen. She is as sweet as can be and I just absolutely adore her! A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Natalie, and even though she was fighting a little cold, you would never know with how pleasant and happy she was. Here are just a few of my favorites from our shoot!

Ashley & Francesco: Engagement

A few years ago, Ashley moved in down the street from Cheech. They didn’t know each other but Cheech definitely noticed the beautiful blonde girl cruising down the street in her jeep. His family kept telling him to just go talk to her, but he was always too nervous. Then one night Cheech and his aunt were walking down the street to meet up with some people at the bar in town and they saw Ashley sitting on her front porch locked out of her house. Cheech’s aunt told him to go talk to her and invite her with them, but he was just too nervous, so his aunt took matters into her own hands and went up and introduced herself and Cheech and invited Ashley along with them. Ashley is like the friendliest person on earth, so of course she went, and the rest is history!

Ashley is my cousin and we are bridesmaids in each other’s weddings coming up! Over the next year I’m going to do a few different engagement shoots of Cheech and Ash as part of my gift to them. Here are a few of my favorite from our first official shoot.

Ashley & Francesco (Sneak Peak!)

Here is a just a quick preview from Ashley and Cheech’s engagement shoot. These two rocked it out and I can’t wait to post the rest of the photos!
