Hey there!

Thanks for stopping by my blog- a place where I share a bit of my photography, a bit of my life, and a lot of me! I am in love with the life that God has provided me. I live with my wonderful husband in central Oklahoma, in the town of Edmond. I am a wife, sister, daughter, and friend. I enjoy my work as a nurse and photographer. I adore sweets, nature, and my pesky (but cute) boxer, Honey. I feel that I am blessed with a passion for photography, and pray that I am able to bless others through it.

Thank you for being here and sharing the experience with me!

My May

Hello! Yes, its good to see you again too! I know, it's been too long- here's what's been going on...

Several weeks ago my sister and I made t-shirts for the dirty30 run. It kinda took me back to high school, and although it took us all day, we ended up with some cute shirts!



MayBlog-1I was waiting for more pictures from Kacey to post about the run, but this is the only one I have so far- So much for those cute shirts! The run was a lot of fun though :c)




MayBlog-2The other day I had the urge to give my son a Mohawk. I think it followed the urge to cut his hair. I tried to gel it together and as high as I could, and this is all it would do. (He also got really cranky as we went out for pics, so enjoy the crazy faces along with the crazy hair-)

The weekend before last was my 10 year high school reunion. I remember being so excited for this back when I was in high school, and although it wasn't as 'thrilling' as I had once thought it would be, it was great to catch up with some old friends. This is our crew from the old days- and our spouses (yes, Summer paired up with the cutie :c)MayBlog-1-2




Last week Isaiah and I took our second trip to the zoo with Melanie and her kids. You can see how into the animals he was..MayBlog-8 
For Memorial Day we went to Tulsa to visit family. Isaiah also got to go for his first swim! The water was pretty cold, and of course it was nap time, but at least he looked good!

Either Harrison insulted him...MayBlog-11 
Or he takes after his dad and prefers to have his feet on land! (I'll be working to change that :c)

I just love this sweet face :c)

On Monday we celebrated the holiday with our good friends- it was the first time we have all been together as a group with all the kids here! Super fun and crazy. These 3 are growin' growin'... love seeing them together :c)

This is what it looks like to hang out now.. having kids crawling all over us! (It's hard to see, but Mia is rockin' some cute GI Jane hair back there... it's already growing back in!)MayBlog-14 
I will never tire of seeing the big dudes with their little dudes :c) We are blessed with some wonderful dads

Tomorrow morning (or I guess I'im 15 min away from it being this morning), Ray, Kacey, Isaiah and I are heading down to Texas for my oldest little brothers high school (3rd time I've mentioned high school in this post, I pretty sure that's a record) graduation. I don't know how that can be, wasn't I just in college? Craziness.. I hope Isaiah does well! (he's just waking up now.. I'll sleep sometime in the distant future ;c)

Britney and Rajeev's Wedding, Part 2

Here is the final post for Britney and Rajeev! Their 4 day wedding left me with a ton of great pictures.. here's some from the 3 days surrounding the wedding day.

First was the Mendhi ceremony on Thursday night. Although this is not a tradition in the area Rajeev's mom is from, they couldn't pass up on another night to celebrate! For an Indian ceremony, this is the time when the bride will have henna drawn on, but since Britney was having a traditional American ceremony, she skipped the henna until after the wedding. Everyone else enjoyed getting the beautiful adornments!

Sunday after the wedding, Rajeev's parents hosted a brunch at their house. I ended up getting sick, so my good friend Deshawna-www.echophotoworks.com (who second shot the wedding with me) photographed the event. All the following pictures are hers, by the looks of it, I missed a great event! I can't explain the traditions here as well since I wasn't there, but it looks just gorgeous-B+R-BrunchBlog-1The welcoming party
