Little Girl Dreams :: Just For Fun

It’s one of those days… it’s Friday and I woke up this morning thinking random things. About what I wanted to be when I grew up when I was a little girl. A teacher. I wanted cubbies, and crayons, and stickers, and report cards. Because, well… I’m a nerd like that. And I am obsessed with anything cute and organized. Tie everything up with a red bow and I am content.

Do you remember your little girl dreams? What did they look like? Who did you dream of becoming? It’s not too late to dream dreams, to envision a future that accepts reality, yet embraces potential.

Just for today, allow yourself to remember your dreams. Smile, feel giddy, hope. Whether it’s writing a book, having a great marriage, or running a marathon… whatever dreams stir your heart, don’t push them aside today. Create your own dream book… spice up your life!

Happy Friday!

Julie + Mike :: Anytime

09.02.10 Anytime :: Just For Fun

Julie and Mike are stunning… I am not sure there is another word to describe them. I spent some time with them Sunday morning and came out with so many great photos. Julie is an aspiring model… so it made it SO much easier for me to pose her! There may be nothing more gratifying during a shoot then when clients just “get it”. Seriously, I must have said.. “Julie, that’s perfect” eighty gazillion times. Easy button… check!

Below are just a few of my favs!

Julie & Mike :: Sneak

This picture just speaks for itself… I mean, really… can you say hello gorgeous?! I went to high school with Julie, so it was so great to be able to take some shots of her and her boyfriend Mike this past weekend. They are moving out to Hawaii in October and I could not be more jealous.

Julie and Mike… thank you for taking the time out of your schedules and trusting me to take these… so many more great ones to come.

This weekend was a big weekend! We celebrated my friend Jaclyn’s Bridal Shower AND Bachelorette Party on Saturday… in one day… WHEW! Jaclyn has been one of my best friends for over 10 years now, so making this day special for her was just as special to me. Seeing her light up all day, with her friends and family surrounding her… I could not have been more happy for Jaclyn and her soon-to-be hubby Tim.

I remember the first night I met Tim… I pulled him aside mid night to chat. You know… that, you’re dating my best friend and I’m trying to intimidate you kinda chat. That, if you hurt her I’ll have your head kinda chat. The, surprisingly… this guy may just be a good guy kinda chat. That, chat that ends with “I don’t want to scare you… but you’re going to marry my best friend” kinda chat… you know, the usual. I mean, who doesn’t tell their best friends new boyfriend that he’s going to marry her two months into their relationship?

That’s actually a true story… but c’mon… give me some props here… I called it!

Last night my youngest brother Scott graduated high school! It was surreal sitting there where I once was 6 years ago walking that same isle. 6 YEARS. Wow. Hello world… I’m old.

Scott is headed to Penn State and we could not be more excited for him and what his future holds. Wishing you all the blessings that God has in store for you little bro.
