I am still HERE Going Crazy but HERE!!!!

Just wanted to touch base and leave a little memo for those who are wondering why I haven't blogged in awhile.  I have been busy, busy here in Texas.  I plan on posting plenty of pictures from my trip here soon. I am also busy designing albums from my busy spring wedding schedule:) (fun,fun) I will be in Texas until the end of July. I am around just not online as much as I would like to be!  So please don't forget about me!!!!!  Thought I would post a funny picture of how crazy I feel!  This is my daughter Anyssa and her Aunt Sara!

Newly Weds Matt and Rachel!

 

Meet Matt and Rachel!  I just love this picture...so soft and romantic.  They had a gorgeous wedding at the beautiful golf resort in Chandler, AZ called Ocotillo Golf Resort.  Matt and Rachel are so mellow and fun to work with I really enjoyed being their photographer.  Being mellow and easy going is such a great way to enjoy life:)  Rachel's dress was absolutely to die for...I loved it.  What great taste!   I also loved meeting their family, what great people.  I just love weddings and meeting people at such a happy event.  CLICK HERE TO VIEW A SLIDE SHOW of their fabulous wedding day! Here are a few more pictures I loved.

 

 

 

Ryan and Rachel Are Married!!!

 

Remember this adorable couple from a teaser post a couple of days ago?  Meet Ryan and Rachel, they were married April 26th at Aldea in Phoenix AZ.  This place had a great italian villa feel to it and had amazing places for photographs!  Very beautiful!  I photographed Ryan and Rachel's engagement session last fall in the desert and they were so much fun to work with.  I knew their wedding was going to be a day to remember.  The ceremony was in a romantic court yard and the reception was absolutely gorgeous!  To view the slide show from their wedding CLICK HERE!  Enjoy! 

Goodbye Hiro....

Well I am in Austin, Texas for a few months to be closer to Mike and spend sometime with my mom, brother and his family.  I left last week and arrived Friday evening....what a drive.  We have two dogs  Murphy a Golden Retriever who is going to be 8 this September and a 11 month old Chocolate Lab, Hiro (pronounced Hero).  Hiro is the puppy we got last summer and I had a voting contest on his name which I love.  Hiro is very handsome, humongous, and such a great looking dog.  Full of energy and personality.  Luke has a blast chasing him around and Hiro has been good for Murphy by getting some youth back in him.  Since we drove to Texas I decided Murphy would be the calm one to take on a road trip and Hiro would stay with our good friends Brandi and Jarred.  Brandi and Jarred where awesome to take such a energetic dog for two months for us.  Thursday night I had a message to call Jarred.  I was thinking what could have happened...maybe Hiro ate all their plants (which he likes to do) and they couldn't keep him or worse maybe he ran away.  So I called them back....and I never imagined the news I got.  It breaks my heart to type this ...I am such an animal and dog person.   Brandi went shopping and when the kids came home to go swimming they found Hiro in the pool.  He had drowned..... very upsetting.  I am such a visual person (thus being a photographer) that I just can't get the image out of my head. I feel so bad that I brought Murphy and not Hiro. They think he slipped in and couldn't find the steps.  I just feel so bad to that their kids found him...what an awful thing to see.  I wanted to post a few pictures of our Hiro and say goodbye to such a great dog whom I will miss very much.  Goodbye Hiro thanks for the 10 months of fun and adding a little excitement to our daily routine.

 

 

This is my niece Trinity with both of our dogs...she loves them just as much as me.

My Airman Mike Gunderson

I wanted to post a blog about my awesome husband Mike and how proud I am of him.  This past summer he approached me to discuss him joining the Reserves.  It was something he really prayed about and felt  it was something he should do for our family.  We talked about and he researched all the branches of the military and weighed the pros and cons of each one.  In August he decided to join the Air Reserves.  He left three weeks ago to basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas.   Mike loves to work out  and experience new levels of being challenged.  He is a High School Physical Education Teacher and coaches Football so basic training is right up his alley.  I miss him so much and am looking forward to his Graduation on June 19th.  From there he goes to training for his job and will be home in August just in time for school to start. Mike is an amazing person and I feel so blessed and lucky to have such a wonderful husband to share my life with.  He truly makes me a better person.  He is the one who pushed me to follow my dream and have my own photography business so I can stay at home!  Mike is also our second photographer.  We have fun working together at weddings:) He is a man of many talents!

What is a blog with out some pictures!  Here is Mike looking so handsome:)

 

Now this is from a few years ago but it is one of my fav's...Mike thinks he looks like he is in a boy band in it and doesn't care for it as much as me.  But I think he looks so cute!

 

This is Mikes goofy side!  He can do this weird eye trick to and freak kids out it is funny:)

 

Here is one of us at a wig party.  Mike and I like to dress up and do fun things just for the heck of it.  When Mike wanted baby blue tuxes at our wedding I knew it was a match that was made to be!

 

Just a few more:)  This is Mike and I on my mom's mac.  I love the retro pictures!

 

One from our Honeymoon in Belize which was a blast!

 

The last one...my recent favorite of us two.  On my 30th birthday last year.  I love Mike in green.

Jeremy and Olivia!

Jeremy and Olivia were married April 4rth, 2009 and it was a beautiful wedding.  Outside by a gazebo, great weather, a classic, gorgeous bride and handsome groom!  They where married at Wind Star Gardens, a adorable place to have a wedding.   Olivia and Jeremy have three handsome boys that made the wedding so much fun.  Instead of doing a dollar dance they had a poker table set up for the guest to play and the money raised went to the bride and groom.  It was so fun and a great idea!  To view a fun slide show from their wedding CLICK HERE!  Enjoy!  Congrats Jeremy and Olivia we had a fun time photographing your wedding day:)
