Manic Music Monday :: Tulsa Photographer

This is going to be short because, well, we've got lots of editing to do friends! We had a SUPER fun wedding Saturday that went way into the wee morning hours, but man was it a blast. Our bride and groom lit up the dance floor and we (bride included) saw a side of the groom neither of us knew existed! You'll for sure want to see stuff from this wedding. Coming up!

I'm sure many of you watched the ACM's last night, but just in case you didn't or you missed this little number because you were running to the kitchen to grab a snack, let me show you one of the best numbers from last night. My girl Carrie!


Enjoy!






And I apologize for the all caps.  I'm trying to figure out how to fix it... Lindsey?? :)

Drive & Ambition :: Tulsa Photographer

Here's a fun little session I was able to capture a few weeks ago between rain storms.  It was quite the adventure to say the least!

This beauty will graduate in the next couple of months and is heading to college on a softball scholarship.  Way to go girl!

Anything Like Me: Tulsa Photographer

You know those families you meet and you immediately want to shrink them into tiny people for a minute so they'll fit in your pocket?  You know, so you can take them home and cherish them forever? 

Yeah, that's how I felt about this family.

In most families you can sense the love they share for one another, but when there are little people involved I think the love overflows.  Well, at least you see it more plainly. 

Children can't help but show affection for the ones they love, be it mom, dad, brother, sister, you get the point.  You can see it in their eyes, in their expression or even the giddy squeels they display as they run towards the one they love.

It makes me happy.  Families make me happy.  They remind us of the love in the world. 

And, if you're super lucky like I was, they'll show their love through the displaying of their belly buttons!  Remember that post! 

So, sit back, relax, grab a morning/afternoon snack and enjoy the lastest family I wanted to put in my pocket and take home.  This little one's tu-tu and giddy squeels were enough to make me love them forever!


Yes, my child will for sure be wearing a tu-tu with a bow in her hair.  It's alreaady pre-determined.

Can you get a more photographic family?  Seriously.  Beautiful.

One of my favorites.  They look so much alike.

Manic Music Monday: Tulsa Wedding Photographer

It's Manic Music Monday!! If you've been on vacation and need a re-cap of previous posts, well then click on my friends.

This week's song has been on my playlist for a few weeks, but it never seems to get old.  It's kind of one of those strong-faced girl power songs, which honestly, my description makes me laugh.  I love her raspy voice and how she just lays everything out on the table in this song.

I've got quite a bit of photo fun'ness to bring you this week, so make sure and check back tomorrow.  It's gonna be a good one!  I'll give you a hint.  Remember the belly buttons from last week???

Motivational Design: Tulsa Photographer

You dream of colors that have never been made.  You imagine in songs that have never been played. 

This is Megan.  Imaginative.  Inspirational.  Motivated.

She will graduate this spring and venture out into the world of graphic design... for a degree that is.  Obviously this excites me to see fellow artists going after what they love.

Megan,  congratulations on your awesome achievement and 'go get 'em' in the design world!

Three Little Belly Buttons: Tulsa Photographer

So, if you grabbed that thing we like to call a dictionary, pulled it off the shelf, blew the dust off it's cover and looked up the word slacker, what do you think the definition would be?  You really want to know?  OK.  Fine, twist my arm.  It's ME.  I have owned the definition slacker this week. 

 Well, let's be fair to me for one minute.  I had a huge event to get ready for which consumed all but enough of my time to let me sleep, so, even though I constantly thought about how I needed to blog some new stuff, my life just wouldn't let me.

What does this mean for you... it means this is my way of saying I'm sorry and I hope I didn't lose you all forever.  I still want to be friends.  I still want  to bake cookies and make friendship bracelets.  Are you still interested?  GREAT! see I like to answer for you all so I feel like you're listening.

And, since you all have been on the edge of your seat wondering what entertaining things have taken place in my life - I'll oblidge and fill you in.

• I got my new passport today.  The hubs and I are almost ready to begin our jet-setting trips!
• I shot a family this past weekend who had one particular 20-month old member of the fam that was obsessed with belly buttons.  Cutest thing of my life.  Don't think I'll ever think of belly button's the same.
• Bad news.  Terrible!  Some very rude individual decided it'd be a really awesome idea to slam their car door into my 3 week old car.  RUDE!  If you know me personally on FB then you know what my new car is and I'm beyond IRRITATED!  Newsflash, if someone parks way out in a parking lot all by themselves and has a nice car DO NOT PARK DIRECTLY NEXT TO THEM!  They are obviously walking an extra hundred steps to stay away from your car!  off my soapbox now.
• While looking over the new passport today the hubs asks, what language is E pluribus unum and what does that even mean?  I think it's Greek, he says.  Wrong.  Wikepedia informed us it's Latin.  Don't say I never educated you on anything, internet.

Has boredom set in yet?  You're about to close this page aren't ya?  You just can't take anymore about my super-interesting life.  I understand.  But wait.  I got one more thing for ya!!

Belly buttons!!!  Or maybe it's just a sneak peak to a few things to come.  These three little bellies just warm my heart.  Love.

I promise I'm back. I have lots of lovely things to post for you all so stay tuned!
