February Wedded Bliss

What a fantastic couple! Shauna and David got married yesterday, 02-21-09, at Westly Methodist in Oklahoma City.

Shauna's choice of the tiger lily made for dramatic accents to this already beautiful church.

The reception was also done in a beautifully at OKC's very own Will Roger's Theatre.

I'm quite sure that the guests had just as much fun as the lovely couple!

Hanky time ladies...Father daughter dance.

I think we were all feeling the moment Shauna.

Time for a little bit of funk on the dance floor!

Oh Baby!

I had the pleasure of getting together with a coworker yesterday for some shots of her newest addition. "D" is only three months old and still very new to the whole modeling thing.

Big brother "C", as it turns out, was happy to show her the ropes.

Although I do have a sneaking suspicion that this conversation is more about what really happened to his Sunday dress shoes and not helpful pointers so that "D" can find her best side.

Could you resist this face??

Yup, he and his sister are adorable.

Fierce!

You've seen the look at the last Olympic games. The look of determination. (It's the fire in their eyes that gives them away.)

Nerves of steel. That's what it takes to do what these two little ladies do. Practice 24/7.

But in their spare time, did you know they are just like any other 11 year old and 8 year old??

They like to show their style in their clothes.

As well as their choice of head wear!

But what they are deep in their souls are sisters.

And of course they know how to have fun!!

A Jedi Knight Celebrates His 8th Birthday

I love event shooting. Even when it's a child's birthday and I'm not there as a hired photographer. (Face it Marianne, you like to be close to the cake. Hee hee.)

Jedi knights always make sure their friends go home with a little something.

One of the Jedi's newest friends.

She sure is a doll!

Have you ever noticed how many kids it really takes to open presents? (Snicker.)

In case you're wondering, he got them in one try. So have a blessed year Jedi knight!!

Tulip Time

Ah.....spring time in Oklahoma. Okay, it's not quite spring time in the city just yet, but I was inspired to bring a little bit of spring into my house for some macro and studio shots.

Tulips are one of my favorite flowers.

This bunch seems to be right out of the green house since the buds are so tight.

I'll probably be working with them for a few more days (just to get the most from them that I can.)

Snow Day! (Actually More of an Ice Day)

Well, I'm no longer in school, but once in a while I still get a snow day. I'm originally from Denver, CO and so I should probably correctly identify today as an ICE day. Oklahoma doesn't really get snow as much as it gets ice (think, precipitation coming out of the sky into all that wind...you get the picture).

Since the ice storm closed my office (state office), I decided I needed a photo project to occupy my down time today. I started out in the bathroom and was drawn to the white on white.

Okay, I got lucky and got one of my cat, Lois. Normally she turns her head when she hears the camera's auto focus "beep, beep".

Cute little kitchen cow.

This is a childhood toy that I've had forever. It came from my grandparent's house just before Grandma packed up and moved to an assisted living center.

Real (and old) Mardi Gras beads. Very cool.
