SNOT NOT WELCOMED

The only good thing about being sick is that you can sleep as long as you want without being questioned. Unfortunately, for the past few days I've been laying in bed with tissue up my nose and sprite at my side (all you Teen FLOW campers have gotten a sight of this lovely view before). It seems as though this cold, allergy attack or whatever it is enjoys making it's way into my world around the same time each year. Thankfully, this little monster is slowly making it's way out of my life as each day passes. My only hope is to have a wonderful weekend with a nose free of snot and tissue :)

JESSICA : JUST BECAUSE

Jessica and I met through mutual friends a few years ago and I think she is such a sweet, motivated and strong young woman. It's always great to just get in front of a camera and show your confidence and she did just that! We had a great time hanging out and her beauty within truly radiates through these photos!

NIKKI + ARVIN : ENGAGEMENT

How long does it really take to know you've found "the one"? I don't know if Nikki and Arvin knew that the first time they met (IN PRE-SCHOOL!) but they've known it since they started dating in high school! These two are a couple of smart cookies! I remember them always being at the top of our class in high school and I am proud to say I was in that very same pre-school class with them when they first met! It was such a blessing to spend an evening with them hanging out and getting some lovely shots in between. Thank you, Nikki and Arvin, for allowing me to capture a glimpse of your love.

And we can't forget the star of the show! This is Nikki and Arvin's son, Joshua!

These two were so easy to shoot! Nikki is a natural model and would just strike a pose, Arvin was a good fiance and quickly learned to follow her lead!

Arvin, you are one lucky dude!

Showing off her bling!

This is what we called the "Newspaper picture." That one photo you need for the engagement announcements in the newspaper!

Their wedding is on August 20th!

Nikki thought they'd look like homeless people in this following photo; I think they look like adorable homeless people ;)  

I pray many blessings over your marriage! Congratulations!

MEET MARGARET: SENIOR 2011

Because I've become such a stinky blogger, I've decided that I will make an effort to post something at least 3 times a week. I think that is a good number for me because just look at it, 3 is such a nice round number...let's see if I can accomplish this feat!

Anyways, here are a few photos from my session with the darling Margaret Meissner. Margaret may be a tiny girl but don't let her size fool her, she has her purple belt in Kung Fu and could take you down!

We had just enough time while the sun set to capture the next photos. I think the lighting was perfect!
