Snow Day 2010

Hey everyone, 

I just wanted to share some of the pictures we took the weekend we had the snow storm.  Pretty much everyone who has kids on our block came out to hang out and enjoy the snow.  It certainly was exciting and there were some little ones for whom it was their first time in the snow (okay, really only Gypsy, our puppy, but she counts, too!).

I think Maddox is about to bomb me with a snowball here...thank goodness the snow wouldn't really compact too much!

This is our neighbors' great dane, Bella.  

Gypsy was pretty cold and unsure about the snow at this point.

Then we put her sweater on her:

Oh, I can dig in this stuff:

We made a sled run on the steps of the church across the street...

Liz + Ryan

Liz and Ryan were certainly a special couple.  When Liz and her mom first came to visit me, Liz expressed how important the pictures were going to be to her and Ryan.  After talking in length about their wedding day vision, I knew it was going to be something special.  Their ceremony and reception was held at the Chrysler Museum, in Norfolk, later in the afternoon, but we got there a bit early so we could use the grounds before beginning.  Before starting with the couple's pictures together, we created a "first look," where they could meet each other in private before the ceremony.  On top of having a blast with the wedding party, when I walked into the Chrysler, there were so many details I couldn't see straight.;)  Liz and her mom had spent about a year creating and making everything.  Liz even used one of her favorite books, The Pride and the Prejudice, as their guest book.  I saw some really cool stuff.  Special thanks to Jeremy Kilgore, with Blue Steel Pro Lighting, for lighting up the joint, DJ Rodney Charles for rocking the night and Cuisine & Co. for a terrific meal.  Liz and Ryan, thanks for letting me be a part of your super duper day!  Below are just a few of my favorites.

Gypsy

Well, Christmas has come and gone and we added a beautiful baby girl to our family.  Maddox has been asking for a puppy for about five years, so we finally broke down and made his dream a reality.  Gypsy is a Vizsla, whose breed originally came from Hungary.  She has made herself quite at home and is having a great time keeping us up at night.;)  BTW, if I'm not mistaken, Clifford, the Big Red Dog, is a Vizsla.  Be sure to check out our blog periodically for more updates on Gypsy.  I'm planning on adding another page dedicated to her, so click on her link in the top bar after the beginning of the year.

Stephanie and Matt had a terrific wedding recently beginning at St. Paul's Episcopal Church and ending with their reception at the Harrison Opera House in Norfolk.  The couple, along with their friends and family, had a super-duper time.  Congrats you two!!  Below are a few of my faves.

Regina + Steven

Regina and Steven recently celebrated their wedding with a ceremony at Blessed Sacrament in Norfolk, then off to the Chrysler Museum for their reception.  Right after the ceremony, we all headed out for some image making, but had to stop at Dunkin Donuts for a few snacks (and cups for the beverages).  The Chrysler looked amazing, due to Jeremy Kilgore, owner of Blue Steel Pro Lighting, and Isha and Tanya of Isha Foss Events.  Also, Shawn of Astro DJ's rocked everyone all night.  Congrats you two.  I know everyone had a great time, including ME!  Good Luck in Richmond.
