Ryan & Heather (wedding for Kristin Bednarz) P1

Whew! I'm FINALLY getting the blog up that I was hoping to have finished Monday. Let's just say it's been an interesting week and weekend.

I 2nd shot this beautiful wedding for my friend Kristin Bednarz in Lubbock this past Saturday. She went with the girls and I spent the day with the guys. It is so funny to me how differently guys and girls spend the day leading up to a wedding. Ryan and all his guys started off the day at a shooting range, then bowled a couple games at South Plains Lanes before changing quickly and heading to the church. Here are some of my favorites from the first part of the day....












































Yes, that is me. Somehow I ended up shooting a gun for the first time with these guys and Ryan took over as photographer for a minute. It was an AR 15 if I remember correctly. Wow. Talk about power!





Watching the guys bowl was pure comedy. They were really competitive and into the games.

If You're Looking for Ryan & Heather's Wedding blog...

please come back tomorrow (Wednesday) night. My computer is out of service for the time being and it is putting me behind on my blogging but I should be up and running again soon!

This N That

Here are a few miscellaneous photos of William that have been adding up over the past few weeks. I thought I'd share a few.

This is William's idea of dressing himself in the summer...

and he really likes cookie dough, can you tell?

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Well, I shot a lovely bridal this past weekend that I would love to share with everyone....but I can't until the wedding in August. En lieu of a beautiful bride, I give you a very fat caterpillar that ate all my parsley. (I know, I know, it's not nearly as good as a bride - oh well!)

Alli and Jason

Here are some photos of my sister and her boyfriend from my trip to Missouri in March. This was probably the fastest session I've ever shot. I think we did the whole thing in 10 minutes, so we didn't get very much to choose from, but I think what we did get was pretty good.

Is Anyone Still There?

I have finally almost caught up on all my work even though I still don't have my Photoshop issue completely resolved, so now I'm going to try to catch up on my backlog of blogging pics! Here are some from William and my trip to my grandparents' farm back in March. They had a massive fire in Feb. and this was the first time I had visited since. It was also the first time William really noticed the cows and even got to feed them....although he was a little afraid of the bull.









some details...















































William discovered pockets on the trip...

















Here are some of the photos I took to try to show the damage from the fire. They lost some buildings and almost lost two more....











Here is a photo I took of William last Thanksgiving....





...and here he is standing in the exact same spot after the fire...
