She looks so pretty here:

Dad’s turn:

One of my favorites:

a yawn, two cute faces and more of mama:

If you are thinking of having a couples session with me, here are a few pointers:

Bring it in tight:

Laugh at one another:

Act like I’m not there:

Don’t be afraid to be a little silly:

And last but not least, tell your wife how beautiful she is while I’m taking her picture. Makes for wonderful smiles:

Melissa & Garland, thank you so much!  I’ll have the rest for you soon!

Seriously, could she be any cuter??

and a little family shot:

Their place was a dream location.  Around every corner there was a cool vingette.

These four are my favorites:

a little wine on the front porch:

Sandy and Owen, thanks so much for having me down!!  See you next time! =)

I told you….cute, right?

I’m telling ya….this age at home in their element makes for GREAT photos. =)

Love how the wind caught her hair here:

total favorite of mine:

Then they changed into outfit no. 2….and I have to admit I was shocked/excited… I mean look at those shoes! Made for awesome pics though, huh?

They were so much fun!!  Wait until you see their weddings pics! Coming soon….. =)

About 2 weeks ago, Josh came home with a note stating his class was having a contest for the best decorated valentine box. I was excited! Josh, not so much. So, I checked around on the net for ideas finding nothing that really tickled my fancy.  After that, it kind of sat on the back burner until the weekend before. Of course it did! I’m a huge procrastinator. (it’s my mother’s fault…)

I finally decided on a monster with a big mouth. Not too original I’m sure, but I knew it could be cute. We sprayed the box black, hit up Michaels for pom-poms, pipe cleaners, googly- eyes and the like. We came home and stuck everything on. (okay so maybe it was me and Julie moreso than Josh….he really hates crafts of any kind) Josh did help me glitter the heart antennas though. =)

Behold:

Cute, right?? And……he won first place. =)  Yay! Go, me! (I mean Josh.)

So, onto the next project. Last night, again…the night before her party, I scanned an old vintage Valentine and ironed it on a shirt for Julie.

Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Well…..If you don’t count the hour it took trying to get it printed out. Or time time wasted ironing it onto a BLACK shirt. FYI, you need special transfer paper made for dark shirts if you actually want the image to show up. HA! Anyway, second time was a charm. =) Happy Valentines Day, everyone!

By the way, thanks SO much to those of you who have entered the March Client of the Month contest on the post below! =)

But, back in 2002 we were both into scrapbooking and shared our pages online at http://www.twopeasinabucket.com

That is what started 8 years of friendship. Scrapbooking. Who knew? Ever since then we have daily emails, cried and laughed more times than I can count. We’ve both had multiple trips back and forth from OK to TX, trips to San Francisco and Mexico, I even see her family more than I see some of my own! I just love this girl and am so thankful for her friendship.  (and if you know me at all….I must really mean that, because I don’t get all mushy-lovey-dovey that often) Ha!

So anyway, on to the pictures. A few months ago while doing sessions down in Houston I cut out some time for Carrie & Brad. I was excited and knew it would be a good time….Brad is a fun loving guy who has a way of making any situation enjoyable. (he also gives me a “noogie” every time I see him, but that’s beside the point)

Loved this wall:

Love how happy they look in these next two:

awwwww:

a little dancing in the park:

Now, these next few were so much fun.

Brad: ah, come on honey, let’s take some in the water fountains.

Care: Okay, but let me take my shoes off, I don’t want to get them wet.

Me, to myself: OMG, he’s totally going to put her in the water!!!

By this point, I kind of had it figured out….she was going in the water, but I really didn’t think he had the “you know whats” to do it. I mean, she was all dolled up and had a nice pretty dress on….. would he??? really?

Yes, he did.  And that’s the only shot I got of it…..because I was laughing SO hard!!

I did get some of the apology and name calling though. Ha!

I told you he was a fun lovin’ guy. =)
