You have to click this link to see Dallas on his first roller coaster today. Before you tell me I’m a super mean mom for finding humor in this….just know that Dallas loved it and wanted to ride again and again and again. He’s definitely the brave one, and he thinks this video is hilarious.

Loved Magic Kingdom today. great memories

My dad called me today to tell me that it was ZERO degrees at home. I told him we were havin a blast with the kids, but didn’t mention that we were eating ice cream in our flip flops. Kiddo time and sunshine is exactly what we needed this week.
I’m a Facebook geek now, and I post photos and random stuff all day long. Let me know if you have a page so we can connect there too.
Here are some snapshots from our day at Animal Kingdom today
Davis thought pickin this gorillas nose was hilarious…. monkey boogers

and then DADDY bought this stylish Mickey hat for Davis. The only good thing is that I can spot him anywhere.

every once in a while I attempt one of these awful flip the camera around self portraits so there is evidence that I was really there.

oh, yikes… I did it twice.

Dallas LOVED meeting the characters. He was super excited until it was his turn… then he was deer in headlights.

I think my favorite part was watching Dallas try to eat his Mickey ice cream. Can you get any cuter!? I just love you boys so much

I don’t know about you, but I always get antsy this time of year. Ready for the snow to melt, see some sun and dethaw. We just decided to plan a Disney vacation with the boys as an end of the (wedding) season treat.
So I will not be in studio all of next week, but I’m glued to my iPhone so you can still reach me by email or cell. My amazing studio manager Goldie will still be, so if you are expecting any orders or albums she will take care of it.
Feel free to email her if you would like her to check on my availability, schedule a meeting, or send out a contract. goldie@hollyshotmywedding.com
Hope to bring some sunshine home!

Sometimes I’m surprised by the profound things that come out of my Kindergartener’s mouth. We were cuddling in bed this morning listening to the announcer talking about what a historic day this is going to be. Yesterday Davis learned all about Dr Martin Luther King, and his little mind is crankin.
Davis: Mommy are there radios in Heaven?
Me: I don’t know. Probably
Davis: I hope so, because I think Dr Martin Luther King would want to hear Mr Obama’s speech today. I think he’d be proud.
Yup that came out of the mouth of a 5 year old. Wow, Davis I think you’re right. So inspiring to see our country come together today - moving, inspiring and electric. The sun is shining, and you can feel the hope. hope and pride.
Enjoy the beautiful day.

The boys ran into my room this morning with giant hugs, and grand ideas for my birthday party and themed cake. Sounds like there are going to be Hot Wheel balloons, Transformer pinata, and a dinosaur cake… oh I can’t wait! Really I’m looking forward to going out on a hot date with Corey and droppin the monkeys off at Grandmas.
Sweet Dallas wanted to make this video for me all morning. Am I the luckiest girl or what.

Now that the holidays have settled I can get back to normal programming on the blog. Sweet Audrey and Adam were married in the fall and they are just now getting some blog lovin’.
I’ve never met anyone that loves Halloween and everything autumn more than Audrey. I actually shot their engagement session a year before in a pumpkin patch, and they used them for save the date cards. I think they bought out an entire pumpkin farm for their wedding though. Gorgeous.

Here is the slideshow link to their event: hollyshotmywedding.com/audreyadam

Everyone getting ready for the big day. I love the shot of Audrey helping her dad with his tie.

Audrey…..STUNNING. Her bouquet was mixed with flowers that Adam found walking in the woods.

She took everyone’s breath away with a grand entrance.

The ceremony was under an arbor that they made together with woven vines, sticks, leaves, and flowers. Ahhh, my favorite light- backlight. Makes them glow even more

Quick portraits with the fam before exploring the countryside

And then I did one of those overly dramatic

Last night was AMAZING…. I shot John and Katy’s New Year’s wedding and it was like a winter wonderland. I’m still in awe and not really awake yet
We were surrounded and embraced by so many friends and families from previous weddings… I can’t explain it, but I just felt so welcome and just so blessed.. Sometimes the simplest snapshots I’ve taken have had so much meaning. I’m documenting family history… is there anything more rewarding than that.
This is why I do what I do. I was made for this.
Anyway, I just wanted to post a couple of my favorite images, but I’ll dedicate an entire post with the full story soon.

Special shout out and thanks to Melissa for 2nd shooting with us. She was one of our spring workshop students, and volunteered to spend her new years chasing after me with video lights in the snow. And as always, smooches to Corey for the way you light things like magic, organize and haul my gear, get my money shot in the balcony, stop traffic, always have a diet coke for me, have more patience that I deserve, and for loving me like crazy….I’m forever grateful.
Here’s to a new year full of hope and love.
