HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY! {bebe}

so yesterday was my dear bebe's birthday ... my very first pup, my very first "baby."
she is spunky and ridiculous, and me and my fam just adore her spunky self {named beatrix kiddo, after none-other-than uma's kill bill character}.
we had a blast spoiling and torturing her with birthday delights ...


beatrix back in december {2007} - when she was a mere 3 months and 4 lbs.


a fully grown WOMAN - gained 6 lbs since we got her, WHEW! the day before her BIG bday.


my mum INSISTED on getting a cake to celebrate - we LOVE cake so any excuse will do, ha.
we blew out her candles for her {boston creme pie cake, Y U M}.


target {said with french accent} had doggie clothes on sale sooo i HAD to get her a bday velour jumper {i'm not sure if she loves it or loathes it, heh}.


we've taught her to "dance." she's rather skilled, too.


her special bday snacks - i think we got more glee out of them than she did {big treats somehow intimidate her}.


another one of my cheap bebe birthday outfit splurges from target ::tar-jet::.

enjoy {yes, however cheesey it may be!} ;)
cheers!

christi + bobby: a madison {IN} engagement

christi and bobby are high school sweet hearts - i met them both whilst at Franklin College {IN}, and they are getting hitched this June, after Christi graduates. :)
we met in Madison, IN recently for their engagement pictures, and boy, did we have fun!
we traipsed around Clifty Falls - they even had all their shot locales picked out (how fab) and explored some spots in downtown {adorable and "historic"} Madison {i want to live in that quaint, pretty place!!
suffice it to say, i am ecstatic to be their wedding photog ... ;)
cheers and enjoy!

tabitha & jason: the B I G day!

i grew up with tabitha and jason at church - even went to prom with jason (as friends :)) - so when they asked me to be their wedding photog, I was especially excited.
the evening was a tad too toasty but it was gorgeous and everyone had a fabulous time!
i ESPECIALLY loved getting shots with that wicked cool Mercedes. ;)

here, here to the new tabitha & jason hays!!

Hendricks County 4-H Fair Frenzy!

my dear friend-and fellow photog- wendy rose, and i ventured out to the hendricks county 4-h fair recently. we roamed around with our cameras - cramming our faces with as much fried, sugary food as possible, and snapped away!

now, i can't wait to shoot the state fair ... ;)

little did i realize folgers could be SO useful.


and we roamed through a thoroughly muddy field o' deere to enter the fair. {let's just say, both of our shoes were ruined after the trek}


we couldn't wait to sink our teeth into this overpriced puppy.
oh, wendy. WHAT will i do without you, whilst you're off teaching a whole YEAR in S. Korea?? ... ::tear::


this sounded goood, but ice cream sounded better!


totally got ice cream here afterward. ;)


Mmmm - fresh, DOGS!


i think she felt awkward, but she was oh-so cooperative and cute. :)
the cake makes me drool. every time.










wendy <3s her cotton candy!








the rides = $1 per ticket ... = no $4 ferris wheel for la and wendy. :P
