Oh my lanta..

Oh my lanta it has been a while since I last made myself take the time to sit down and blog. Here's a few things that have been going down in my little life. 

1. I got engaged to the man who swept me off my feet 3 and a half years ago! 

Yup, that's the date. Got engaged in July, getting hitched in November. And let me tell ya, I couldn't be happier. :) 

 2. I'm going to be an Aunt!  

I couldn't be more excited for my sweet sister! Congrats Jess :)

P.S. It's a boy! 

3. I have been UNBELIEVABLY blessed and busy with my photography! 

Since May of 2013 I have bought a camera, started taking pictures, editing until my eye balls want to fall out, scheduling like crazy, and trying to think of ways to make this whole photography fiasco something more than just a "side hobby." 
Everyone has a dream or a wish. So I'm thinking, why in the world wouldn't I try to make mine come true? No, I'm not in college planning on making buckets of money, but I'm enjoying what I do every single day. And lets face it, life is too stinking short to waste your time doing things you hate everyday. 
Anyway, enough about that. Here's a little peak at what the highlights of this new career have been like. 

Those little beauties are my wonderful sister and brother-in-law.
They were sort of like my ultimate test. I took their pictures just shortly after I got my camera and they were my first album uploaded to my photography page. I was in LOVE with this photo. It's my favorite of the bunch.





These GORGEOUS people are truly some of the sweetest people on the planet. They are seriously a picture-perfect family. They were so great and their little girl was just darling! So full of personality!

HERE COMES THE BRIDE<3

This beautiful bride was the calmest person I have ever met. I can only hope that on my wedding day I am as cool, calm, and collected as her. We had a wonderful time even though I was scared to death. This was my first wedding and I was sweating bullets. I am SO grateful that they chose me to take their wedding photos. They were a great first experience and I loved this wedding album.

I also got to take some pictures of this gorgeous lady getting ready for the ceremony! Doesn't she look stunning?! This woman should be a model, seriously. So jealous. I had such a great time with her and her bridesmaids while they got ready for her special day. Thanks again for choosing me. Really, I loved it!

I had planned on doing more with this tonight, but my internet is hating me right now (as usual) and I gotta be up bright and early in the morning. So I leave you with this bible verse that I just read. "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man." Colossians 4:6

Man does God know what I need to read when I open that book (or look on my cell phone Bible). And I hope that the scripture above speaks to you like it did me.

Well, I hope I haven't completely bored you to death. Have a blessed night and sweet dreams! Love, Stephanie.
