I had to post a little teaser from Heather and Zack's awesome Get to Know You Session. We had a blast walking around the strip in the Dells, and the light was luscious!

There's definitely more to come, the full post from Kate and Sam's wedding, once I manage to figure out which of the totally rockin' shots to put on here, along with Heather and Zack's full post. Busy days ahead!

{sneak peek}


big balloons, originally uploaded by briemarie.

I had to share a little sneak peek from Kate and Sam's amazing wedding. I mean, how awesome is it when you walk into a room, see a pair of the biggest balloons in your life, and the bride says "we want to walk down the aisle with these, what do you think?".
Heck yeah, we love love love the idea! I swear, I was dancing on air the whole day. Anyways, here's a little peak, be prepared for more to come, including, but definitely not limited to: blue dress, tissue paper, pizza, beer, bowling and more!
Kate and Sam, if you see this before leaving for Jamaica, have a great time!

{chattin' it up}


8m onths bibby, originally uploaded by briemarie.

Where should I start? We had an awesome portrait session this evening with miss Rachael, she is graduating from 8th grade this year, exciting right? She has the best smile, although I'm pretty sure she didn't believe me. I'm tellin' ya, Rachael, great smile! I'll get some shots up in a bit from her session.
Right now, I am so excited that I may just pee my pants. Have you ever been this excited?! We are shooting our first wedding of the season tomorrow and, drumroll please, it's at the Al Ringling. Seriously my peeps, I don't think that you can understand how exciting this wedding is. It is a great start to our 2010 season, and our next wedding will then be one of my best friends! Awesome, right?! Whenever I start thinking about either wedding, I just get this silly grin on my face and I start to giggle helplessly. Yessiree Bob, I am that excited!
So, in honor of how totally psyched I am, because I've used the word excite way too much already in this post, I thought I would share a shot of Jamie when she knows that her food is ready. She loves food, and so far, we have been making our very own baby food. She loves it, we love her. All is good in the world.

Ok, peace out my peeps, I have got to get some sleep!

{personal} here comes Spring

I think that Winter has lasted long enough. I am ready for the weather to start warming, the snow to melt and the grass to grow so we can get outside! I feel like I've been cooped up all winter, I can not wait to get Jamie out in the stroller and walking around. I have tons of plans for this summer. Jamie loves to look out the window, so I just know that she is going to love being in the stroller and seeing everything around us. We've gone on short little walks, it being so cold, but nothing too long.
She loves her Jeep stroller, it's the best.

This week has been a struggle. I had a sudden work switch around and ended up working during the week, I know what you're thinking, but I actually work weekends so Jamie doesn't get stuck with some crazy babysitter. No offense baby sitters - my mom was one, that's how I know. ;) We want to keep her with family, I know it's a little crazy and Rob claims that I am paranoid. He's probably right. Anyways, back on track: so, I had to work, which meant that on Thursday, when we were expecting a new package, someone had to be home to sign for it. Well, it finally arrived, but not before I made Rob walk up the street and back down in the thick white fog that had been laying on the ground for the past two days.


He's the best, please tell him I said so, I don't think he believes me.

Our package arrived and Rob is ecstatic! He, of course had to be just like me, and order Nikon's D700. I love mine, I named him Boris. Now, we need to name Rob's new addition. We took both cameras, Jamie and Jeep stroller out to the zoo today for a little test drive. Rob is even more in love now (I don't let him play with Boris very often) with his new camera. I can't blame him, the pics are luscious and gorgeous. Now if only I can talk him into the new 24mm...



Let's hope the fog means that winter is giving way to spring!

{personal} what fills my day

All right, my blogging has been pretty non existent for the past month. I have so much that I want to share with all of you, and yet, it seems like I never have enough time in the day to get everything done. I know that I am not the most organized of people, ask Rob, he'll tell you. But there is a method to my madness. Try sitting in on one of my dreams sometime, I have the craziest dreams. I've heard that people don't dream in color, not true, I have the most vivid dreams, plus I can read. What does that mean, I suppose? It's on of my weirdities. Oh yeah, totally made up word at that. Wink, wink.

We have so many plans and ideas that we have for this coming year. Our days have been filled, not only with work, photography and baby, but with all the outrageous thoughts racing through our heads. We have our Senior Reps for Baraboo already, headshots are done and we are already talking to more students about having their senior pictures taken this summer. I can not believe that my baby sister will be a senior this year. Have I gotten that old?! I suppose it's true, time flies.

As I look back at the last seven months, I am amazed. Jamie is sitting up by herself, eating solid foods on a regular basis (so far the favourite is bananas), she tries to "swim" while on her tummy on a blanket and pretty soon she will be crawling all around. We had an awesome time at the Once Upon a Time bridal fair in the Dells and booked two amazing couples that day. We started offering metal prints, yes they are metal and you just have to clean them with windex, how sweet is that?! I bought a new car, with Jamie in mind, I'll miss my Jeep, but hey, priorities change.

I wanted to leave you all with some shots of what, or shall I say who, has been keeping me so busy the last couple of months. She does sleep through the night, thank goodness, but by the time she's in bed, we are, too. She just wears us out! We are so blessed to have such a beautiful and healthy baby girl, I can only wish that everyone else is just as lucky in their own endeavors.






She has the best expressions, and she talks now. Nothing understandable of course, but she talks gibberish and we talk back to her. She loves it. She gives kisses now, and as soon as she learns to close her mouth during these kisses, I believe that we will get less slobbery, but we wouldn't trade a kiss for the world.

I never imagined my life would turn out this way. I am amazed. As if this wasn't enough, we have the best start to our wedding season this year. Two of my old high school friends are getting married in the next month and a half. Our shortest wedding will be later this month, and our longest will be next month. I promise to have an amazingly awesome time at both and hopefully, cross my fingers, get some shots up in a timely manner. ;) I am so psyched! I can't really contain my excitement, and Rob was so jealous of Boris, that he had to order his own just in time for our first weddings. Woohoo.

I hope you all are having a blast. As always, I love to hear from you, so feel free to leave me a comment or two. And yes, I know, she has little bat wing ears, they are gorgeous.
