Whew what a wirlwind!!!!

Whew! Things have been SO crazy lately. We finally received our orders to move halfway accross the world from Hawaii to Newport News, VA. We will be getting there sometime soon, although Im not exactly sure when. We had a little under a week to set up for a move and travel from the date we received the orders. It was in INSANE! The packers were great and really handled our belongings well. The house has been cleaned for the most part and Greg is tying up loose ends with work, housing, and everything else before he heads this way. All I can say is that having a week to pack and move is not something I would wish on my worst enemy!!!

Anyway, we are finally in Texas and things are great. The weather is gorgeous and its been good to see family again. We are staying in Houston for about 2-3 weeks and then will be heading to either Georgia or Florida.

I would love to do some work while here, but don't know if I'll have the opportunity. If anyone in the Houston/Katy area are interested in swapping or having a photo session done, please let me know!

I'll update again soon!

What is NILMDTS?

The Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart. For families overcome by grief and pain, the idea of photographing their baby may not immediately occur to them. Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives.

The Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) administers a network of nearly 3,000 volunteer professional photographers in the United States and eight International countries.

This is a wonderful organization and I am proud to be a part of it. Giving parents something as simple as a photograph to help them remember their last moments with their child is an amazing gift. Please take a moment to visit their site, or even help spread the word about this group.

Stacy and James

Last weekend Stacy and James invited me to be a guest at their vow renewal cermony out at Foster's Point. It was beautiful!!! As always, the "bride" was glowing, the people were having a great time, and the food and decorations were gorgeous.

Well, Stacy and I got to talking and we decided to trash her dress! If you frequent my blog and website, you'll know that I LOVE doing these type sessions. They are almost as fun as the wedding itself! She even talked James into coming out as well to trash his renewal outfit.

We had a fabulous afternoon! We were able to take some more traditional type poses along with the trashing!! We were even able to get a bit more romantic---but I'll wait and let them show you those Here's a bit of a sneak peak to hold you all over until I can finish proofing and editing the rest of the shots. Enjoy!!
