Laura & Trent's Wedding

Congratulations to Laura and Trent! An old high school friend of mine, Trent, tied the knot with his love last Saturday at the Silo in Tulsa, OK. I had the pleasure of shooting their stunning wedding.   The details (so thoughtfully put together by Laura)

Love their expressions during the first look :c)

The girls lookin' good

The guys goofin' off

There were Superheros..

and princesses!

Laura was literally "glowing" as her family walked her down the isle

and I'd have to say that Trent was too

I loved this "unity cross"

It's official, the Mr. and Mrs!

A lovely first dance

Isaiah thoroughly enjoyed the send-off wands along with Emily and Todd (thanks to all my friends who watched him while I was shooting!)

Congrats to the beautiful couple!

The Big Cut

I'm  starting to realize that this isn't that big of a deal to everyone, but I've been looking forward to this for months and months and it's taken nothing short of determination and encouragement from friends for me to make it this long.. without cutting Isaiah's hair! But alas, he's almost a year old (the time frame given to me by several friends with mixed kids), so on our way up to Tipton last weekend, we stopped by my aunts house for Isaiah's first haircut :c)

 

For any of those who doubted the cut (*cough* photolifegourp), here's a clear picture of why this needed to be done

He really enjoyed the electric razor

Thanks to my mom, aunt and hubby for helping! (you can see in the last pic by Rays bald head exactly what happens when I get a razor in my hands..opps!)

What happened in July..

Hello strangers! Sooo... it's been awhile, let me show you what we've been up to this month that's kept me from the computer!

First, Ray's birthday was July 5th (happy birthday sweetie! I normally try to say that sooner..). This is my 4th year (I think) to surprise Ray with a party (you'd think he'd catch on at some point..). We gathered our friends for some volleyball on a warm evening, thanks for all those who came!

Here's the action on the court and the baby-ness off the court can't leave out the puppy-ness either! I love this furry dog The next day we drove down to Dallas where Ray's auntie was visiting from GhanaPlenty of family was there.. it was great to see them all! Here's Isaiah snoozing on the way back (which is a beautiful site when you have to drive 3 hours there and back in one day with a baby ;c)The next weekend we headed to Austin for my 10 year reunion trip. Ray's favorite part.. the Bar-B-Que tour.. yum!   We were in awe when we walked into the room full of smokers    I loved this picture I found of all the employees, check out the chick with the knife! Summer and I getting our grub onWhile Todd "shakes down" all that meat before we head to the 3rd place!   This is how they served up the delicious food at all 3 joints   We were diggin' the glass soda bottles Our bearded banditsand the lovely ladies I looked up and saw this cowboy hat and handle bar mustache, and although I spent most of my summers growing up in Texas, realized I had never been anywhere more "Texas"Our crew (on the morning of traveling home.. gives us (me) a break!) Big thanks to my mom and Felton for watching Isaiah 3 days in a row while Ray and I were out of the state (our first time to leave the little man). We all survived the trip! Last weekend was Aidan's first birthday party, one of many of Isaiah's friends to be turning 1 soon     Besides all of the above, I started my new job at the Spine Hospital and have been spending my days orienting. It's been different working 8 hour days (the last time I did that was my first job my junior year of high school!), but so far so good-
