PROM!  A 4-letter word that brings back a RUSH of memories for sure.  Dress shopping, hair appointments, makeup, friends, dancing the night away … feeling SO grown up for a night.   Just thinking about it gets my heart pitter-pattering.  I just LOVED it! 

This weekend I was lucky enough to be visiting WV coinciding my Cousin’s big prom night (ok, so I planned it!  Can you blame me?).  It was so fun to watch her get ready and to re-live some of my own prom memories!  And rain on a big day is always good luck, right? Thanks Courtney for letting me hang out and take some prom pictures for you.  Hope you & Jonathan had a FABULOUS time!

I have a lot of catching up to do on the blog, and couldn’t think of a better time to do it than on Mother’s Day!  One of my absolute FAVORITE things about being a photographer is being able to get a sneak peek into people’s worlds.  I am so blessed to have been able to meet some super awesome moms in my first year of professional photography – the love you have for your children is so evident, from the time we meet to the follow up chats.  To all the moms I have met and those I will be meeting in the future ~ Happy Mother’s Day!  Hope you had a day filled with laughter and love.

This year, my husband and I decided to “shake things up” a little bit and take off of work for a week at Christmas.  Can I tell you – if you ever get the opportunity, DO IT!  It has drastically cut down on, if not eliminated, the pre-Christmas stress.  I’ve had time to bake, wrap gifts, and generally soak in the Christmas spirit.

John & I don’t have kids yet, so it has been wonderful to take time for just the two of us to spend quality time together.  We slept in until 10am most days, cooked cozy meals, opened up an early present here and there (my idea), played games and took in some Christmas lights and sights that we normally don’t have time to.  The highlight of the week was when we were able to skype with his dad in Greece, whom we haven’t seen in 2 years!   

Here are a few photos from this week.  Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!  May you cherish each moment with your family and friends, and have a holiday filled with love & laughter!
