I am sad that Michael Jackson has passed away. At almost every wedding I have been to lately they have either played Thriller or Billie Jean at the reception and everyone always gets out on the dance floor…  I loved him when I was a teenager… not so much in the 90’s but I have always loved Thriller. When this movie came out a few years ago it took me back to that time in my life. I know that everyone is posting his videos and so I thought I would do something a little different. All you “thirty-ish” girls out there, click on the link and enjoy…

This is such an amazing couple and what a beautiful wedding… not to mention a killer reception!!!  Hold tight, I’ll post the story very soon!!!!

Jennifer and Dennis were married on my birthday March 28… I was going to put the usual detail descriptions but I decided to do something a little different. I asked Jennifer to tell me if there was anything special she wanted me to put on the blog about them, like how long they have been together.  She said, “Dennis and I have been together for 4 and 1/2 years prior to the wedding…we knew there was something special the moment we slowed danced to Brad Paisley’s “We Danced”. I guess that’s about it!”That says it all…

I will let these images tell the story…

What a beautiful bride…

Congratulations Dennis and Jennifer… What a wonderful way to spend my birthday this year.  I can’t wait to watch your family grow.

Baby Camden Lee- Brand New- still curly and wrinkly… oh such sweetness. I adore newborn babies. They change so quickly… So happy that we got this little dreamboat captured forever for his Mommy and Daddy.

born April 2, 2009 at 9:17 am…Seven pounds Thirteen and one quarter ounces…Twenty inches long… (all heaven and love)

those eyes… those lips… I think I’m in love! I can just imagine how his Mommy feels!!!

his crown…

these are my favorites… the bits and pieces.  The parts that change so quickly!!

I love EVERYTHING about him in this photo!!!! I want to get hold of that ear!!! SWEET!

Don’t you just love his expression?

In Mommy’s Arms…

We did manage to get two shots of Camden with his Daddy… but due to a major blow out, Daddy had enough, but I am glad that we got this one, because I think it is sweet.

Congratulations to Jessica and Kevin and Big Brother Isaac- Thanks so much for allowing me to photograph your precious boy and I look forward to watching and documenting his babyhood… Praise God that all his tests were good and we will continue to pray for God’s Hand to be on you all.

My first wedding of 2009- Kristin and PJ married at Eastwood Baptist Church in Bowling Green, KY. What a gorgeous day for a wedding! Here are some of the details from the day… {I’m a sucker for the details}. Kristin was one of the Brides that says “just do what you want, I trust you” I love it when I hear that.

I hope you these few scenes from their wedding…  By the way, Kristin’s sister made the cake. This is the cake that I bragged so much about on my Facebook. mmm mmm!!!

This was a very sweet moment when Kristin was given a Christmas present -that has been held for many years – specifically for Kristin’s wedding day. If you can read the letter, it is so precious. Everyone knows I have a soft spot for Grandmothers, and this was very touching to everyone in the room. The beautiful old handkerchief  was her “something old”…

Old- Grandmother’s Hanky…New- The Dress… Borrowed- the brooch pinned to the crinoline in her dress… Blue- the shoes. Love the shoes!!!

Kristin- she was breathtaking!!!

Pretty Maids all in a row- {yep that is Jonna Kay- one of my favorite Brides ever!} so beautiful. The colors were amazing- I had black bridesmaids dresses in my wedding and if I had it to do over I would still choose black… so elegant and timeless.

the guys…Kristin and Her Lovely Mom…

Kristin and her Dad… he was beaming with pride.

PJ and his beautiful Mom…

pep talk maybe?

look at his face!!!

this is such a beautiful church!!!

the kiss…

on our way to the reception we stopped by The Bridge and took a few shots… {Chris and I had our engagements taken on this bridge back in 2001, so it is special.}

This was a tricky shot… it doesn’t always work, but it did this time… woo hoo!

Kristin and PJ- Thank you so much for choosing me to document your wedding day, I pray that you have a long happy life together and that you will treasure these moments and relive them over and over as the years go by. God Bless… Julia

TA-DA…  my new online journal… I am so excited.  I still have some kinks to iron out but I really like the way this one feels. So welcome, kick back, relax, look around, and feel free to leave your feedback. I hope you enjoy my new home on the web!!!
