HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!

Melissa and Todd marked our last wedding of the year and let me tell you, we ended this year with a bang. Melissa and Todd are SUCH an amazing couple. The day was full of laughter, tears and you guessed it…some amazing pictures (ohh that sounded a bit full of myself…sorry about that). Anyway, here are a few of my favorites, from the day.

Melissa had a pair of beautiful Manolo Blahnik shoes.

Man she’s beautiful…

I love this moment when her dad saw her for the first time.

Then it was Todd’s turn to see Melissa for the first time.

One of my favorite things about Melissa and Todd is how they look at each other.

After the “reveal” we headed outside for some outside pictures. Melissa and Todd were troopers, it was 33 degrees and WINDY which felt more like 20 degrees!

Snuggle in TIGHT!!!

Love it!

We had to warm up…so we headed to the Union Station for some pix.

Todd (aka Ken) is out of this world HANDSOME!!

Melissa (aka Barbie) you are seriously B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!

Meow freakin Meow Meow. GET IT!!! :)

This is probably one of the most amazing moments of the day. A few weeks before Melissa and Todd’s wedding Melissa’s dad had gotten very sick. We weren’t sure if he was going to be able to walk his baby girl down the isle. As you can see, he’s an amazing man - he walked her down the isle. It was a moment I will never forget.

I LOVE THIS CHURCH!

How amazing did their reception look?? Wowza!

Yummy!

I love these two!!! SOOO happy.

The youngest addition to the family. Totally cute, he even had a tux!! Grandma and Grandpa aren’t proud at all!

Melissa and Todd - thank you for asking Aaron and I to be a part of your wedding day. I love you both VERY much.

A few weeks ago I got an email from a photographer in the United Kingdom that he wanted to interview me for his website. Not only was I excited to be interviewed, but the interviewer, Crash Taylor, is a photographer I’ve admired for some time now.  You can only imagine my response…OF COURSE! It’s so surreal to see my pictures next to other photographers who in my book are OVER THE TOP amazing.

Crash, thanks for asking me to be interviewed. I think your interviews are very insightful and your work is inspiring. I’m so blessed to have had this opportunity. Thank you.

For all my blog readers out there…head on over to his site and check out the interview. It’s a long read, but there are pretty pictures there too!! You never know…it might be one of your pictures!  Oh and - if you really love me, leave a comment. You know how excited I get about comments!!

So, yesterday as most of you know, I took the day off to enjoy my birthday. My hubby unfortunately had to leave out of town yesterday so I found myself all alone on the night of my 30th birthday. That was until….I drove up to my house (after trying to keep myself busy for a few hours with Olivia) to find the BEST PRESENT EVER! What might that be????? Um, yes, Bobbi. In the FLESH, my Bobbi. In my drive way, Bobbi. AYKM??? She flew in that afternoon to surprise me and boy was I ever surprised! Have I mentioned…..it was the best birthday EVER!!!

So…I’m thirty, my BFF is in town, and guess what, I have a standing appointment with my hair stylist to “change my life” (okay I know I can be dramatic) it couldn’t be any better!!! Of course after my new look, Bobbi and I had to do a quick photo shoot to show off my new locks. I’ll be honest, I loved it at first. Then I went to…. oh my god…this is soooo red. Do I look okay? No I love it!!! Um….am I to dark? Can I pull this off?? By the end of the day, I’ve come to love my new look and the outlook it has given me (even though I was a bit drama about it all day…sorry to all of those involved). Hee hee.

So here’s a few fab pix that my love, Bobbi, took. You likey??

So what do you think? Blonde or brunette???

30 is fun!!

Today is my birthday and I woke up this morning realizing my twenties are gone…. wow, time REALLY FLIES!! In my twenties,  I got married, had a child, lost my father to cancer, started my business, bought two houses, and a studio..wow…it’s amazing what can happen in ten years. I can’t even wait to see what I do in my thirties!!!  Thirty is going to be amazing, cause not only am I going to be 30, but I’m also going to change my entire life this year. It’s going to be a good year.

So..with that, If anyone is trying to get a hold of me today, I’m outty 5000! I’m going to take the day off. Yep you heard it. Normally, I never take a day off, EVER! I always check emails, or do this or that, but today. I’m going to actually TAKE OFF THE DAY! So if you need me, I’ll holla back at you tomorrow. I’m going SHOPPIN, to lunch with a good friend and then dinner…who knows…I’m 30, I’m crazy!!

Last but not least, thanks to one of my best friends in the WHOLE WORLD, Bobbi, for wishing me happy birthday today on her blog. I woke up this morning and saw that and was in tears. I love her SOOO much.

I MISS YOU!

Before I go…I also want you to head on over to Aaron’s blog. He, my husband, and a group of other guys went hiking in Moab, Utah this summer and he just blogged about it and it’s so cool!

Hugs,

Heather
