Hello friends, blogstalkers and clients.  I have some sad news...blog gremlins have attacked my blog and erased ALL the images!  Okay, so it was me pressing a button and not knowing what it did :).  But, as you can see, there are NO images on my blog.

However, the WONDERFUL people at Flosites and Media Temple are working to get this fixed and help me get my blog back.  I highly recommend them if you have any needs for design or hosting!  They are pretty much amazing!

If your sitting was posted...THE IMAGES WILL BE BACK!  It will just take some time.  Thank you for your patience and understanding for this sometimes technotard.

I will let you know when things are back to normal and all is well.  

Thanks again!

Jeff and Cara are so in love.  The kind of love that makes you, even as an onlooker, happy.  

We walked around Uptown in Dallas, snuck into an apartment building, ate ice cream and rode escalators.  I had so much fun just capturing the way they love and have fun with each other.  Theirs is a lasting love.

AND

NOW

THE

SLIDESHOW...

One of my brides, the fabulous Brittney sent me an email with the info for the person doing her invitations.  

It was a normal day and I just clicked the link not expecting to be impressed...little did I know that serious swooning was in store.  I AM IN LOVE!!!  The things Megan does with paper is a work of art.  Her invitations are like sending your personal artwork to every one of your guests.  

It's artists like her that make me look good.  I can't wait to show off Brittney's save the date cards.  I have no doubt that they will be FABULOUS!  

Megan, thank you for being wonderful and for making works of art with paper and ink.  Your work inspires me!

Here's a peak at some of her work...for more...go to her site:

Her blog is just as inspirational.  If you're a blog stalker...add her to your list.  You will not regret it:

Oh my, I can not say enough about the amazing experience that was Love Affair!  I learned so much and God used it in so many ways to affirm His dreams for me, encourage me and challenge me.  I also walked away with some amazing, beautiful and talented new photog friends (more to come on that in a later post).  

On Wednesday, they split us up into groups of 4 photogs with models that they styled with pro hairstylists and make up artists.  Brandi and Lyndsey ya'll went above and beyond.  The styling was fantastic and each and every model looked stellar! Thanks to each make up and hair stylist...I was BLOWN away!  Great job! Info:

Courntey McCormick ctmccormick@hotmail.com, Melissa Kinnamon of n salo salon, Beth Pilgreen bpilgreen@gmail.com, Stormie Robinson from West Monroe, LA (did our models hair)...PHENOM! Lindsey Edwards (headpieces) and Joanne Miranda Design

Our groups models were Adam and Ellie.  They've been married for a year and a half and they ROCK!  Vanessa and I pushed Ellie to her limits.  I think her legs were noodles when we got through with her, but she took breaks and hit every pose like a pro.  Adam was a champ and was just so comfortable being surrounded by 5 women (4 of which had cameras pointed in his general direction).  The best thing about them is their love.  You could feel it.  I almost cried hearing Adam talk about how hot and wonderful his wife is.  

Thanks Adam and Ellie for modeling for us.  I couldn't have wished for better models.  Thanks for letting us capture your love and affection for each other...thanks for being hot and doing WHATEVER we asked!  Hope ya'll enjoy these images!

 All the shots with the bamboo were taken INSIDE!!!  The natural light in there was perfection!

As I was shooting the one on the Left, a voice came over the loud speaker, "Move away from the building.  You are not allowedto take pictures of the outside of this building".  Honestly, I kept shooting because I had to ge this shot :).

The next 3 were taken in Tap, a wonderful pub.  Great interior space, great food and people!

I love this shot.  There is something so mysterious about shooting through a window.  I guess it just feels like intruding on a stolen moment.

Aren't they hotness?!?!?  I LOVE the one of Adam on the Right...it reminds me of a Ralph Lauren ad.  Adam said, "All I needed was my golf club"...that would've been PERFECTION!

Ta...da...This image was my 2nd place winner.  I was so overwhelmed.  If you had seen the quality of the work each woman had you would understand!  I also have to give props to my girl, Cristina, of Red Fly Studio who won first place.  I was so stinkin' proud of her!

Can you believe we found this ethereal wonderland in the MIDDLE of downtown Atlanta.  This is proof that if you go with an open mind, you can find a place to shoot ANYWHERE!

Ok, so I have to say this...when this image came up for critique Kelly Moore Clark said, "The only thing I see wrong with this image is that I didn't take it.  Don't be surprised if I steal it and put it on my blog".  She is my fave and I almost cried...ok, maybe I cried a little :).  That was the BEST encouragement I could've EVER gotten!

She is so stunning!
