wedding photos




I shot a wedding last week-had a little mishap with my camera right in the middle of the ceremony!! YIKES! It stopped working altogether! Luckily my brother was a guest at the wedding and had his camera so I pulled him aside and stole his camera to capture the wedding kiss and the couple's exit. After the ceremony my camera started working again. Not sure what happened but that was sure a "live and learn" moment!! The wedding was in a very unique place, some kind of castle. The actual castle was being renovated but the ceremony location was just as beautiful. I wish it hadn't been so hot I could have spent hours taking photos. But here are a few of the shots I did take....

IT"S A . . . . .

We went today for our sonogram @ 26 weeks. We decided to find out the sex of our baby-as we didn't find out with the others I figured why not. Besides Jacob really wants a brother (and I really want him to have one too) so I figured if its a girl we will probably need time to prepare him. So Keith, Jacob and I took baby sister to school this morning and we headed off to the doctors office. We were the first one there so we were first in line for a sonogram. (which is great because apparently they only schedule them every other Tuesday now and he tells all his patients to be there at 9am for sonograms, regardless of their actuall appointment time). Anyway, we got in, told her we wanted to find out the sex this time around. She gets to looking and the baby is not only breeched but bottom first. Which apparently is the worst position to be in when are looking for the sex of the baby!! So she proceeds to take measurements of the head and legs and make sure everything is looking good. In the meantime she is wiggling my belly trying to get the baby to wake up and move around. She goes back to the bottom and tries to look for the sex. She sounds really discourage, saying she can take a guess but she really doesn't have a good look because the baby won't cooperate and move so she can see. So she gave us her best guess. As she was about to put the wand down, she said, oh! there it is! Baby moved, so she gets the wand moving around and the baby has moved enough for her to see..............












IT'S A BOY!!!

Jacob says when he turns the picture sideways it looks like a jelly fish!!! ha..so cute!!
