Some of you may not be aware, but I have decided to try my hand at wedding photography.  I actually shot my first wedding at the beginning of May and I have been editing, editing, and editing some more ever since.  My bride is being amazingly patient with the process ( I know first hand how hard it can be to wait for wedding photos.  I just about went insane with anticipation while waiting for mine) but I thought it might be nice to give her (and you!) a sneak peak at a few of the finished photos.  I’m super nervous to reveal them (typical artist self-doubt…sorry to be so stereotypical) but I’m going to bite the bullet and just do it.  Ok…so I’m going to count to three and on three I’ll show you a sneak peak of Jennifer and Robert’s wedding photos.

Ok.  Ready? *deep breath*

1 – 2 – 2 and a half…did I mention I’m nervous?  I did?  Ok.  Sorry.

Ok.  1 – 2 – I did mention this was my first wedding shoot, right?  Yes?  Ok.  Ok.

Ok.  1-2-3!

Jennifer and Robert

The past week has been utter chaos; chaos of both the good and not so good variety.  Between graduations, tornadoes, new project collaborations and migraines I have barely been able to keep track of whether I’m coming or going.  But now it’s Friday and I am definitely going…I’m going to have a fantastic long weekend with my honey and r-e-l-a-x.  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…but first, I’m gonna spread a little gratitude and love.  Are you with me?  Let’s go!

Things I Love Thursday:
The Simplicity Edition

"T by Cindy Kilpatrick"

Sally Hansen stick on nail polish.  I bought the houndstooth and I LOVE THEM!!! They’re very easy to use and they are seemingly impervious to chipping.  I’ve had them on for almost a week and nary a chip (which is a miracle for me…i’m hard on my nails).   *  Fasting.  It makes me feel balanced…especially when I’ve been eating a lot of garbage.  *  Planning surprises for all my Junebugs…we have a TON of birthdays in June in my family…and I LOVE buying people presents.  It makes me crazy happy.  *  The Receiving Project. It is making me more observant of all the abundance and love in my life.  You should check it out and give it a try…what do you have to lose?  *  Being able to laugh at completely inappropriate times.  *  Spelling/grammatical mistakes…some of them are just too funny.  *  New collaborations…which will be announced shortly…teehee!  *  Participating in Kind Over Matter’s “Seven Souls One Musing” series.  I loved reflecting on the question and sharing my thoughts with everyone.  *  Gormenghast.  I love the books and the mini-series…and I am loooong overdue for another viewing.  I think I know what I’ll be doing this weekend!  *  Not getting hit by any tornadoes (even though things were looking mighty scary there for a minute or two).  Soooooooooo thankful.  *  My honey (didn’t you love his Tilt last week?  Now you see why I love him?)  * My Mischa.  *  My family.
