Locks of Love, OH MY!

Ok, I know most of you have been waiting on this ALLLLLL DAY!!! Well here they are! ;)
I decided that my long hair HAD TO GO, it was just much too annoying...So I visited Tara at the FABULOUS Spa Romona in Sugar Land, TX and chopped off 11 inches of hair...Yes, you read that correctly...ELEVEN inches...it was shorter (ok MUCH shorter) than I had anticipated...but it's cute and it grows out quickly...Oh! And I got an awesome new color technique called "peek-a-boo" I think??? Tara, correct me if I'm wrong!! :) Anyhow, the color looks much more awesome in person, so you're all going to have come visit me!!! :) Excuse the crappy "before" pics...my little point and shoot is having issues....

So,we started...with three ponies because my hair is uber thick and they had to cut it with regular scissors! BWHAHAHA! :)



Me...uhhh...being me???



After pics, keep scrolling!! :)

Then I had dinner with my uber-cute soon to be bride for SUSHI!! YUM! Kristy, I had a blast with you!! Aren't we cute???



and yes, Kristy was the first person to see it! :)

So I got home and had Mike take some pics of me...




and of course, me being me....AKA stupid! :)


So there it is...11 inches of hair cut off to donate to Locks of Love! And a sassy new short cut! :)

Hope you enjoyed!! :)

Robyn and Jon in VEGAS baby!

WARNING:Super-dee Duper-dee extra long blog post!! sorry if you're on dial up!!

Last week Mike and I went back to my hometown of VEGAS to photograph Robyn and Jon's AMAZING wedding at the BEAUTIFUL JW Marriott








The day started off beautifully as Robyn got her make-up done by the wonderful Megan from Makeup in the 702




Robyn's beautiful Lazaro dress



and of course we can't forget the shoes!


Robyn changing into her traditional handmade Chinese dress



Miss K REALLY enjoyed being a photographer that day...after seeing me get down on the ground for a shot, all her shots were from this perspective...





While I had fun with the girls, Mike of course, shot the boys!








Yes, this is the infamous "Mike almost got thrown in jail" shot...If you're really interested in the story, let me know and I'll fill you in! :)




I headed out to do some shots of Robyn and Jon before the Tea Ceremony start







I got this "Hollywood" shot of the boys...they're so gangsta!! :p




We moved on and started the traditional Chinese tea ceremony.





I love the emotion in this shot of Robyn and her grandmother.


Jon gets bling too!!! :)


After the tea ceremony, Robyn changed into her beautiful Lazaro dress









and then Robyn and Jon's FIRST LOOK! You all know how much i LOVE FIRST LOOKS!!

















Of course, by this time the ceremony was about to start!










It was an amazing ceremony with tears and laughter...oh there was laughter...Robyn was giving her heartfelt, lovely vows when she slipped up! And of course, her reaction to her oops!
















After the ceremony, I took a couple of minutes to get some bridal party shots...


LOVE this one!!




Ok, so funny story about this...Y'all recognize adorable Miss K, the flower girl...So I was trying to keep her occupied (AKA out of the way) while I shot the bridal party, so I got Robyn's flowers and set them on my ThinkTank and told Miss K to "Watch these flowers ok sweetie? Make sure they don't fall and that no one takes them ok? Can you do that for me?" With a solemn nod and a resolute turn, she watched the flowers...She watched the flowers like this for about 5 minutes while I photographed the bridal party...Oh how I wish everyone listened to me this well!!



Just a few more of the first dance






and I thought this was an appropriate way to end this blog post don't you think?? ;)


Robyn and Jon, I hope you have a BLASTY-BLAST in Fiji!! I know both Mike and I thoroughly enjoyed spending your beautiful wedding day with you!

Big thanks go out to Jennifer Fluharty as well for coming and helping out at the reception!
