      Sorry to all of you followers of this blog.  I know I have not been posting as frequently.  There are some exciting changes coming.  My new website will be up by the end of the month.  I also have a new blog that will be changed pretty soon and my cart system for clients to view and order images will be changing drastically and will be super sweet!  I assure you everything is going to be top notch and it will make your experience better and will allow me to provide even better service and options to my clients.  Stay tuned to see the changes that are a comin’!  Zayna and Rani’s crazy awesome wedding post will be up late tonight!  Thank you for being patient.

Well, tonight I photographed my 8-8-8 wedding and it was great!  The couple Lisa and Drew booked me last Thursday…that’s right, I didn’t have a 8-8-8 until last week!  I have another wedding tomorrow, and I’m canoeing with the fam on Sunday, so I’ll blog the weddings on Monday!  Have a super weekend!  Here’s a pic of the location from today as I was leaving.

 

I’ve been a bad Papa since I have yet to blog this.  Kassy and I got kittens on the 4th of July!  We bought our home last August and have been throwing around the idea of getting cats, as we are both cat lovers.  We weren’t really aggressive in our searching, but I think it worked out quite well.  On our way to pick up a few things at the grocery store, we decided to stop into Petco and that’s were we saw our girls!  They are both darkish haired tabby’s.  We adopted them through Petco from Planned Pethood, so that was also a plus.  Their names are Moxie and Bokeh and we love em bunches!  So far, so good.  They’ve both been sick a little, as I understand a majority of kittens are within the first few months, but other than that, they’ve been a lot of fun and a great addition to our home and family.

 

Here’s Moxie!  Moxie is Kassy’s girl and is well, very moxie!  She’s a little easier to hold and was snugglin’ with Kassy literally from the day we picked them up!

 

Here she is on their perch, which they both love a ton.

 Bokeh is my kitty and if you’re a photographer, you should know what bokeh is!  Bokeh comes from the Japanese word boke which means fuzzy and with photography refers to the out-of-focus areas of a photograph.  Portrait photographers in general love their bokeh and I do as well…both of them!  See below for example!  Here’s my Bokeh with some beautiful bokeh!

I really don’t know how she was able to get up there.

Here she is the day we picked them up!  She’s definitely my girl hanging out in my camera case!

They really are cuties, like most kittens and Kassy has taken like one fafillion pics of them with her P&S.  I need to take more to catch up!

They absolutely love snugglin’ with their momma!  Bokeh is the dominant one and will just sprawl out on Kassy regardless if Moxie is under her or not.

They don’t whine for attention one bit either…

And they respect one another so much…

What can I say…we love ’em!

I tagged along with my friend and amazing photographer, Nicole yesterday to photograph one of her July brides, Melinda.  Melinda was absolutely stunning and reminded me of when I did a fashion workshop with David Beckstead, she just had that model look and was so easy to photograph.  Thank you to both ladies!  Here is an image of the gorgeous Melinda with two variations, since I liked them both.
