Brooke and Neil part 2

Here's the slideshow, as promised :) Check out what I was talking about in their first post--the sequences of the 2 of them interacting are so awesome. I kept wanting to choose their pictures in 3's--that's how the moments seemed to happen!

Brooke and Neil

Brooke and Neil are engaged! Well, you might have already known that, but it's not official till the pictures, of course. Much more important than that ring, right? Just kidding :)

We started out at the always beautiful St. James Court where the dogwoods were in bloom, and ended up on the Riverfront. It threateded rain, but we got lucky with only a few sprinkles so we ended up having a blast on the playground. It didn't take Brooke and Neil any time to warm up for the camera. Look how natural they are! There are so many cute sequence shots that you'll notice in the slideshow--they were so awesome interacting with each other.





















Brooke has the most beautiful, soulful eyes I've ever seen. In some of the pics in the slideshow, her gaze is downright smokin'! Wait and see... :)



She's got a great laugh too!

















It is so hard to pick a favorite among all these, but I just love love love this last one. It looks timeless to me.



Stay tuned for the slideshow!

David and Liz, Part 2

As promised, here is "the rest of the story." It ends kinda messy!



















What fun! Here's the slideshow for more:

David and Liz, Part 1

I don't usually split up posts like I am about to right now, but I've been anxious to get these up even though I'm still editing my favorites down. I got an amazing new set of actions this past weekend, and I've literally spent hours playing with every different possible combination I could possibly imagine. I think I was getting into a bit of a creative rut with my post processing, and boy, has this action set ever done the trick to pull me out of it! So since I've spent more time than usual working on the few I've chosen for the blog, I figured I would go ahead and post up half of them tonight, and the other half tomorrow when I get them re-sized.

David and Liz were one of those couples that were such a joy to work with. They were not camera shy in the least, which makes my job so much fun. I think I spent as much time laughing as they did! The set I'm posting up tonight shows their lovey dovey cuddly side, but wait until tomorrow to see what they got into at Big Rock! (anyone familiar with Cherokee Park might know what is coming) :)

Something Besides Toddler Fashion (for a change)

Here are a few from the annual Audubon Park neighborhood's Dogwood Festival.

Sugar and Spice?

Ok, I really do have lots of other things to do than post personal pics! (Coming soon--Katie and Ryan, Danielle and Nick, David and Liz, Charla and Craig, Brooke and Neil, and more!)

But I just had to throw these up real quick. The white dress Connor is wearing belonged first to her great great grandmother. Maybe 3 greats? Not sure. Really old and precious, anyway. The pink one belonged to my mother, made for her by my grandmother. I'm so grateful my mom has saved these things for us. I'm also glad I have a little girl to put them on! Wesley would have looked pretty silly modeling this stuff.

The last picture is the other side of the coin. Guess who went through my purse today? Guess who was being so quiet that mommy forgot all about her for just long enough? (UGH! My expensive Lancome lipstick! Like, the ONLY thing I ever splurge on for myself!)

Oh, and this is the same little girl as in the pictures above! Sean put Wesley's old clothes on her this morning, so she looked like a little boy. I guess that is why she thought she needed lipstick!
