the fifth season.

Northern Michigan gives you multiple reasons to complain. 1] Summers don't feel nearly as warm as they should and 2] Winters feel far colder than nature intended. This year however, we sit in mid-November with no snow and 50 degree weather. This time of year we are usually up to our necks in snow (literally, our necks). Perhaps Al Gore is onto something...

Not that I am complaining. This newly developed 5th season is giving me a chance to do portraits in this usually sllllow business season. Today I had the pleasure of photographing a family who's wedding I am doing this May. Sneaky Peeky? You talked me into it...

ah-ha.

for real. that's all.

Ok, no. Soon I will have a facebook calendar (photo-esque) for every month. You will be able to reserve the date by tagging yourself. Brilliant, I know.

flya'

My hours at work were recently cut. Therefore, I will now have more time to focus on photography. The issue? It hhhhhas to be done. When I enjoy doing something, it gets done. When there is something depending on it...I tend to procrastinate. So, I have spent the day working on flyers, or postcards or what have you--and THIS is all I managed to do. Well, I don't work until Thursday, so...I'll have plenty of time...right?

always apologizing...

I know, I know. One excuse after another as to why I haven't posted, but HONESTLY!

I am now engaged (YAYYY), my house is ready for drywall (YAYYYY), and I started a new job.

my darling family.

And now wedding details. Given that I am a total blog stalker anyhow, I have now accumulated a large file devoted to wedding inspiration. Favorite blogs you ask? greenweddingshoes.blogspot.com, and marthastewartweddings.com of course!

I love everything about this board! Whimsy, and backyard-ish. ugh. Loooove the clothes pin's for the escort cards.
Lace dresses make me swoon.

All things wedding aside, I haven't much to talk about so, that's that.

second attempt

there we go.

great news.

I am beginning to feel as though things are coming together (knock on wood) for the first time in a long time. As of Monday, I begin a new job (as a pharmacy technician) at Walgreen's right here in Gaylord (fyi, the last year plus I have been driving an hour one way to work a nine hour day to Boyne City...boo). Not only will I save my dear Volkswagen's soul, but I am also going down to part time leaving me PLENTY of time for my baby, and photography. I could not be more exited.

Another update: we are now building our house. Lyle and I are building a brand new home on our lot in town. *sigh*.

This weekend was super busy! Wedding rehearsal Friday, wedding on Saturday, and the Tubbs family on Sunday. The best kind of busy ever. When I find the time (next week!) I will post more photo's, but as usual, here's your little 'tease'.

Ok, the tab isn't working. Lets try another post...

totally rad...actions.

Today, I downloaded Totally Rad Actions and COULD NOT be more satisfied. Good change I just cut my editing time in half. YAYY. Here's a preview..
I always have the best of intentions, but my blogging seems to fall short so I'll leave you with these stunning little numbers:
BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO DAMN CUTE.
