Hello everyone!  I hope you all are having a great holiday season.  I have had my sister, brother in law and nephew visiting for the past couple of days from Arkansas so that is a good thing… many pictures of my little nephew opening packages on Christmas morning.   He has gotten so big! He is only 4 months old right now but he has changed so much since I last saw him in September.  They are leaving on Tuesday so that is when all the festivities stop for us – they will be passing through Ohio though in January so I should get my little fix of him then.

I have a ton of new pictures to post on here and I hope I can get to them this week.  I have been busy shooting engagement sessions and editing those – as well as shooting pictures of my adorable nephew… so don’t worry many new pictures will soon be up!  I can’t wait to show them all to you guys.  The past 3 couples that I have had sessions with have all been great – lots of fun, and all of them braving the lovely Ohio winter weather.  One couple and I even did our session on the coldest day of the year so far and without coats for part of it. Yikes!   On the weather channel that night they were talking about people being outside for longer than 15 minutes getting frost bite – that is scary! We were only out for about 5 minutes and even that was brutally cold.. we got great pictures though so props to them! They are troopers, as are all my couples that went out in the weather with me.  I can’t wait to finish up all the photos and get them up here – y’all are going to love them! 

I was also in Florida for a a week in December with my family which was great – I will see if I can get some of those photos up here as well.  I will warn you now though they were taken with my little point and shoot camera! 

Hope the rest of your holiday season is good and that you have an amazing New Years… I’m still working on my new years resolution.  I think it is to start training for a 10k and train hard for it!  I have done 5k’s now over the past 2 years and I love them.. so its time to challenge myself more and work for that 10k!  ooo… I wonder which one I will sign up for – I will let you guys know once I pick one!

Well this is my first blog entry… 

Andrew Balas - my nephew

pretty exciting! I figured now was a good time to start blogging since my nephew was just born a couple of days ago. That gives me plenty to talk about and I just had the Stasa/Coleman wedding on 8/8/08 that went amazing. They were such a fun crowd and very laid back and easy going. The church was gorgeous, it was held at the St. Aloysius over on W. Broad. The stained glass and floor tiles are amazing… coming from my interior designer side I must say that I loved how the floor reflected light. There were a lot of nice reflections from the floor! The crowd for the wedding was a fun one as I said earlier, they had some very interesting dance moves which was great. The kids seemed to be having a fun time as well – got to love the chicken dance! I think the wedding went very well and I am excited to get their proofs up online in the next couple of weeks. I won’t put any teasers on yet… but I will put up a few of my nephew! 

Some info on my little nephew – he was born on August 12th, 2008 at 11:50am. He was 8lbs 4ozs and 20.5 in. Such a cutie!! He certainly took a long time to come into this world thats for sure. He has a lot of making up to do to his mommy. He has the cutest little nose ever – I can’t stop playing with it when I visit him.
