2011 Wedding packages, 52 week project, and more

Hello there internet friends! =)

I know I have been slacking on the blogging side again, but I have to say it is for the greater good. School is taking over my life but that is a good thing because I am taking more photos of everything. My camera is basically attached to me! But I'm cool with that.

Anywho I am going to officially tell myself and all of my readers that I am putting the 52 week project on hold. It didn't last very long I know, but I will get back to it. I am determined to finish the whole thing eventually. I just do not have the time right now. Esp not when I want to take pictures of you all lovely people =). So I am taking a break and who knows, maybe some day I will post one out of no where for a surprise.

Ok so the main reason for this blog is that I have finally put together my 2011 wedding packages!!!! I get a lot of calls on my wedding packages and I am always like, well, I really don't have any other than just the one price. Sometimes that seems to baffle some people so I decided to create some packages with some extra goodies too! I also have been meaning to update prices and will be adding senior packages and all sorts of things. I am excited because this means that business is growing and I am at a place I didn't think (well I hoped but didn't think) I would be at already with this. But then I have to thank you guys because I wouldn't be here if you all didn't like what I do! So tthanks!

My first little extreme bridal session

Last night I met up with an old friend who still fit into her wedding dress and was willing to let me experiment with her. I haven't really seen Kalee since I graduated with her so it was really nice to catch up on things. We actually ended up standing around talking after I was done taking photos and talked until our husbands were wondering where we were lol. But anyhow, we got in some good photos and I'm, excited to share them!

I wanted a little change of scenery since every shoot I have been doing lately seems to end up at the same place. So we headed out to Sugar Lake in Rushville, Mo despite the recent threats of flooding. We broke a few rules and went past a few barricades, but eh, no harm done right?

I LOVE this tree. I actually used to live on this lake a few years ago and I always just thought this tree was neat. It hangs directly over the lake, although it's usually not up to the trunk, but it's still my favorite spot nonetheless. I could have done a million photos just around this tree...

Love this next one!!!!

And the next couple could possibly be my favorite of the night, but I can't decide completely yet =)

  

Ok, enough fun with the cowboy theme.....

I just thought the reflection was really neat in this and the shadows of everything. Majority of the time I suggest staying in the shadows and out of the harsh direct sunlight but sometimes I do use it to get creative sometimes.

Thank you Kalee for letting experiment a little with you. I had fun and hope to meet up again soon!
