Random Monday's

Bridal show this Sunday!
Glen Sanders Mansion
Scotia, NY
Sunday 1/18 from 11am-3pm


I sit in my office every day with the blinds down and my back to the windows. Sunlight is an enemy of mine while I am on the computer. So I sit in my office/cave and work in the dark. But today I decided to lift the blinds and watch the snow as it fluttered down from the sky. We have gotten about 4 inches of snow this afternoon so far, and as I sit here bundled up at my desk, I cannot stop thinking about when I was a little kid, sledding in my backyard for hours upon hours. I would always get so wet and cold, but I loved the snow.

I usually dread Monday's, but today has been quite fun. Last week I finished editing my last 2008 wedding, so now I have some new found time to continue working on albums and other things. I finished changes on 2 more albums today and I will continue to work full steam ahead on my 8/16 & 8/30 albums. I have a huge shoot that will take up all day tomorrow and Wednesday. It is something different than I have ever done before so keep and eye out for sneak peeks on facebook or my blog. Isaac and I have John & Kelly's wedding to shoot this Saturday as well. It is the last wedding for a few months. I always love this little "break" in work that comes about the middle of March to the beginning of May. I am trying to plan a trip to Spain and also some personal photo projects! Here are some random photos from the last week:

Isaac & I in front of our awesome booth at the Oswego bridal show last Sunday. We didn't have too much space so we tried to squeeze as much stuff into our space without it getting too full, what do you think?


This is a once in a lifetime sneak peak at my office this morning as the sun shined through my windows and onto my desk. The color of the room has been bright blue since we bought the house. I was going to change it right away, but I realized having a colorful office keeps my "creative juices" flowing. I may not have the neatest office, but it is quite fun! The poster on the left is from when I worked as a graphic designer for Fajita Grill. If the printer would mess up one of my pieces, I would have them reprint it and then keep the "mess up" for myself.


View out my front door at about 1pm today. It had just stopped snowing and the sun decided to show its face for a few minutes.


The sun was so warm as it made its way through one of my favorite windows in the house and onto our table in the entryway. Note to everyone... including myself, it is NOT good to have photographs in the sun. So I guess I should find a new place for this table before the photo gets ruined. The sun bleaches the ink, so in a very short time your photo will become very dull and the colors will change.


This photo is bittersweet for me. As some of you may know, my husband Isaac is in the Army. He has been in the Army since I have know him, it has defined who he is today as an adult. I always get so sad when he has to go away for training. But on the flip side I always LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing him come home in his uniform. He is so cute! It is one of my most favorite things in life, watching him walk through our back door with a huge smile on his face and his ACU's on. So the bittersweet part of it all is that this past weekend was his LAST Army drill. He officially gets out of the Army on Jan. 24th, 8 long years after he signed his initial contract. Although I love saying my husband is a soldier, and I am extremely proud of him. I am very excited that we can move onto the next stage of our life. No longer planning weddings around when Isaac will be with the Army, nor waiting to see if he will be deployed. I am happy he will be here with me, but sad that this part of our life is over. And he just got promoted to a Staff Sergeant.


Onto the next part of our life... that is why we are planning a trip to Spain! As the Spring gets closer and I have more information about our new "projects" in life I will share with you all tidbits of our life.
Thanks for reading. Have a blessed day!
