Baby: Emma Rae

About 3 weeks ago Miss Emma Rae came to visit us. We’ve been trying hard to rotate her photos in a different location each time to keep things interesting, and seasonal. We started out in the neighborhood playground…. it was nice to use it for it’s intended purpose…. and not as a dog park. That’s how we’d been making use of it till now 🙂 First: Family time on the swings. Then we made our way over to the slide/jungle gym thing…. Then it was pool time!

Product: KISS Wedding Books :-)

I know I’ve posted about these before….. but I can’t help but post about these amazing books! Two weeks ago, I made it a mission to finally sit down and design our wedding album. I feared that if I didn’t accomplish this soon- it would never happen. So I sat for 2 nights in a row after work to complete all the spreads. I had just set out to do the minimum 10 spreads- but quickly realized that once I was designing slide 9… and just starting the ceremony photos, I had a problem…. this book was quickly becoming way more than the intended 10 spreads. So I sat… mulling through the 700+ fabulous photos Story Photographers gave us…. hemming and hawing over which ones to include- which ones would tell the story of our day the best. Multiple times I asked Jeremy to come and look at this- do you like this? What about this? ect. ect. ect. At the end of the 2nd night I had 22 spreads, and they were all perfect. I then uploaded and ordered to KISS… and idiot me…. I chose media mail….. why? because I’m cheap, and it was the cheapest option. As soon as the order was placed I wanted that book in my hands, I just couldn’t wait to hold it! I’ll probably never pick media mail ever again…. I ordered that thing like 10 days ago, and 10 days is just too long to wait for such an amazing book. Then…. I decided I wanted needed a 4×4 mini KISS sample. The green one pictured on our products page was a for a client, so we didn’t have one. So- I decided out latest engagement shoot of Andrea & Steven would be perfect! I got to designing again…. and I have to admit, once I ordered it, I was almost as excited to hold it in my hands as my own wedding book! Well, KISS has a new policy on their 4×4 mini KISSes, you have to order them 2 at a time now…. so guess what Steven & Andrea…. you’re getting a little present in the mail soon 🙂 We’re not greedy and we don’t need 2 copies of the same book, so we’ll be sending you one of the two shortly! So here’s the lovely books that were waiting for me when I arrived home (an hour early from work…. yes, I was so excited I left work early!) Our Album…. 10×10 White Leather 🙂    Yum. Probably my favorite spread…… although I’m not sure yet! The mini KISSes 🙂 The 4×4 mini in blue, the 8×8 in green & the 10×10 in white

Engagement: Andrea & Steven

Jeremy and I strolled through downtown Wilmington, on Friday evening of 4th of July weekend…. I was remembering all the wonderful times I had when I lived there, and didn’t realize how much I missed that atmosphere. As we walked around, we were also checking out some good spots to bring Andrea & Steven to…. We made our way down to the Cape Fear River Deck to meet them, and see exactly where they’d be getting married this September. We hoped and prayed these people would be fun and photogenic… we hit the jackpot. They were both, and well dressed for an engagement shoot! Andrea said their wedding colors would be navy, sage and a little orange (squee!) so we brought along a few props to include in some photos…. Steven- you make some priceless expressions…. silly-ness. A Favorite. Rawr. Andrea & Steven, thank you so much for being great sports, and hiking all over Wilmington! We are so excited to be part of your wedding day!!
