So I’ve been wanting to do this for about, well, since I started my business. But its taken awhile to get to the point where I can actually afford to do it. I’ve tossed around a lot of different ideas about how I wanted to do it, but I’ve finally decided on it. And its not like this is an original idea, I know other photographers around the country are doing something similar. So don’t be fooled into thinking I’m that clever
So wanna know what ”it” is?? Okay, I ’spose I’ll tell ya.
I’m giving away a wedding collection.
No strings. No purchases neccesary.
I know, right???
Whoever wins will be getting the following:
~ 6 Hours Wedding Day Coverage
~ 2 photographers
~ Coffee table Wedding Album
~ CD of wedding images with a reprint release
This is $2450 collection, absolutely FREE. That’s exciting right??? I really think so! I’m totally excited about it!
Now ya wanna know how you’re gonna win it? Here’s the dealio:
The ONLY way to be entered into this contest is to attend Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show on September 19th. The key is to PRE REGISTER. For everyone that pre registers you automatically get an additional 5 votes. On the pre registry you’ll have a question that asks where you heard about the show. Its super super important that you pre register. We’ll have our fabulous Snapshot Lounge set up where you will get your picture taken with you and your girlfriends (or by yourself if you prefer). All the pictures will then be uploaded to my Facebook. That’s where your work starts. You’ll be in charge of getting everyone possible to go to my Facebook page, “fan” me, and “Like” your particular picture. Whoever at the end of the contest has the most Likes/votes, wins!
FOR THE BRIDE THAT’S ALREADY BOOKED ME: You still can win! You’ll get the $2450 credited to your collection.
Here’s the not-so fine print:
-Obviously, we have to be available on your wedding date.
-The wedding must be in 2010 or 2011
-For the wedding to be free it must be in Oklahoma, if your wedding is out of state you’ll just have to pay for our travel and expenses.
-The only way you can be entered is to have your picture taken at the show. No exceptions will be made so please don’t ask.

Hayden… oh Hayden. What can I say? Everyone that meets this girl just adores her! All of her wedding vendors rave about what a doll she is, and its absolutely true. On top of being like, um, stunning, she’s got the biggest sweetest heart! Just love her. And she’s incapable of taking a bad picture. Hayden and David’s wedding this past weekend ranks right up there as one of my faves! Can’t wait to share it! But in the meantime I’m just thrilled to finally get to show off her bridal portraits. The location, the dress and the bride all just worked perfectly. And while we’re on the subject, just for the record, I LOVE Philbrook. I’ve been shooting for 9 years at Philbrook and I’m continually amazed at how beautiful it is and how many amazing places there are to shoot. 




And BTW… I’m about to make an HUGE announcement that I’m so excited to share with ya’ll. (No. I’m not preggers) As a hint, 2011 brides need to keep a close eye on my blog, Facebook and Twitter.
I can’t believe this little baby is already 1 years old! I remember when he was a tiny little thing asleep in a basket. Heck, I remember he was still in his Mama’s tummy. When Amanda approached me about documenting James’ party I jumped at the chance. She really throws a great party! Despite it being horribly hot a bit warm, it was a great afternoon. Luckily they all had a pool to play in to stay cool. 
The whale theme was adorable! You should have seen the invitation! It was perfect and oh so cute!!
Seriously. How cute is he?? He really gets cuter and cuter every time I see him. 
So they put James infront of the cake, everyone starts singinig, as soon as he’s free to smash himself into the cake he gets nervous, kicks it over, and has a total meltdown. Poor kid. I hate being sung to as well.
Luckily, Mama was there to make it all better. Between Amanda and Ben they got him settled down and more into the cake. I mean, look at him, I don’t think he turns down a lot of cake.



And then his own personal whale pool was there to cool him off after being covered in lovely icing. He’s quite a swimmer!
My favorite detail of the day. Cute, right?
His actual 1 year pictures will be posted on here someday…

You must:
Be able to organize
Be highly organized yourself
Be outgoing and super friendly
Know your way around a computer
Be comfortable on the phone
Be comfortable working out of my home

It would be nice if you have a little Photoshop experience.
The hours are weekdays and not evenings.

THIS IS NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER’S POSITION. YOU WILL NOT BE TAKING PICTURES.

So I know Sab follows my blog super close so I’m sure she’s shocked right now seeing her name on the header. Cause we did the pics quite awhile ago. But like I said, I just want to show off all the fun stuff I’ve been up to. We actually did the shoot as a family shoot for Sabrina’s grandma for a gift. So we did the full family pic with Grandma & Grandpa, Aunt Cindy, Mama Pam, Baby Cakes and of course Sabrina, Jack and Dave. It was also time for Jack’s 9 month pictures, so we were able to knock that out at the same time. Jack is beautiful. He has the longest eyelashes I’ve ever seen on a baby and he’s totally squeezable. Love this family and I’m so glad to have them as friends! Love you Sab!
