New Family Photos by Clark+Walker Studios

For the long time follower of my blog, you know Alisha Clark of www.clarkwalkerstudios.com is a good friend of mine and has been photography my family and staff for a long time! We this year marks this 6th anniversary and our second pregnancy shoot with Alisha. By threatening to showing all my unfavorable shots, I have agreed not so show some of her earliest work as she was learning so we will stick to this years new photos:

I think we get this pose every year, it's Mason's favorite!

He's sweet isn't he, and we don't know what we have coming next boy or girl?

Either way Mason is VERY excited to be a big brother!

26 week belly....
 
 

he's not always cooperating but she still gets the best stuff

love this, then she wants us to look in each others eyes - we haven't have time for that lately and it's too funny to us:
 
 

love this - enough said:

Ali found a wooly worm but Mason wouldn't hold it so I put it on my belly:

my boys...

he will always be my baby no matter how big he gets!

love it...again, enough said!

 
 So....thank you for looking, thank you to Alisha for taking them, thank you to Mason for being such a sweet, fun, loving little boy, and thank you to my hubby for making gorgeous babies (yes, I'm assuming on the next one) and being by my side for 15 years!

My boys in StudioB!

This is what happens when I leave my boys alone with the Browers:

Lauren & Matt 5-9-09 Sacred Heart Catholic Church & Old Hickory Golf Club

Lauren & Matt are just too cute! They were a referral from a previous client who told them how much of a difference it made to have at least a “day of” coordinator. Meeting up with them at church and just keeping the day on track was an easy task as Lauren is a so organized and put together.

 

I really enjoyed Father Stanger’s ceremony and working with Angie from Trotter – unfortunately I can’t get a lot of images so here are just a few:

 

 

 

as always the photo of me behind the dress. I really do more, this just seems to be when the photographers always catch me!

 

 

Congrats and nothing but the best for your future!!

 

From Lauren: Thanks again for everything you did!  The day couldn't have been smoother and I loved being able to relax and not worry about the details.

Katie & Jenny 5/2/09 Pilgram United & Franklin Room

Katie & Jenny had "the wedding consultant" package:

 

 

Katie & Jenny will always hold a special place in my heart! What amazing ladies with so much love to give and share! I was tickled with them the first time I met them and we had so much fun planning their wedding I wouldn’t even call it work.

 

The ceremony was flawless and inspiring. I don’t cry at weddings much anymore but I did at theirs, when the entire congregation came up to lay hands of support there wasn’t a dry eye in the place.

 

The ceremony was supposed to be held at their church where Katie now preaches (and I’m ashamed to say I haven’t gotten to see yet – but if it’s anything like her prayer at dinner it’s moving too) but unfortunately the construction wasn’t completed.

 

The wedding party was fun and sassy! The colors of apples green and brown looked amazing on everyone. Jenny’s father’s band The Jorrells kept us dancing all night! The vendors were all outstanding and it was a GREAT day – I’ll never forget it!!

 

Much love and respect to you ladies – all my best for now and forever!

 

I love this one.....they bought each other the same card for thier wedding day. This was done so they couldn't see each other.

 

 

all of us right after the ceremony

 

 

We shared a HUGE rice krispie treat after the ceremony

Reviews are coming your way....

I’m so far behind on blogging that I’m embarrassed but the show must go on and since a photo speaks a 1000 words I’m going to let the images speaks for themselves. Other than a few words from me you will get to see amazing photos and of course – The Big Day Vendor Line Up (the best part right).

Thinking "inside" the Box: Guestbook

 

 

There is a new trend for guest books that does not include your mother’s traditional guest book. You know the one I am talking about a guest book with lines for the guest to just sign their names. If you are looking to for one outside of that box, you need to checkout this box by  Etsy seller Tara Lee of Cut the Cake Designs. This shop started off just selling recipe boxes but then turned them into a great fun guest box.  Each guest (or couple) have their own card to write their name and information on as well as some advice or well wishes to the newlyweds.  After the wedding, the newlyweds are displaying the boxes in their homes or offices and have a very cute address book. The Guest Box is custom designed and can take one day to two weeks to create.  Tara works with you, the bride, to design the box according to your wedding, color preferences, personality, home décor, pretty much anything you would like. She does have some premade designs to choose from as well, and if you are in a rush to get the Guest Box, she has rush order option that will get your box to you in half the time, of course you have to choose one of 14 options (which is a lot of options for a rush order if you ask me).

Not only does Tara make these fabulous guest boxes, but she also does invitations as well. Tara has been featured in Bride Colorado magazine (fall/winter 09) for her invitations.  Tara also belongs to a group called the Etsy Wedding Team. This is a talented team of individuals who create fabulously unique wedding items.   To be a part of this team more half of your items for sale must be dedicated to weddings.  Since the group was formed the team votes to accept or deny new members.  So if you are still looking for a fun and functional guest book, please check Tara at Cut the Cake Designs out.
