Tara & Bryan

I promised myself that I would not start another blog entry with some bit about it being a while since I last blogged.  So I won’t say it… The past months a lot has happened and changed in my personal life that has impacted my professional life as well.  My husband and I were expecting our first child, a baby boy.   I being  the work-a-holic kept photographing up until the doctor said no more and put me on bed rest due to complications.  Having just finished our busiest summer ever the bed rest back logged me on editing jobs.  I am so grateful to my clients who were all understanding and remain to be as I work hard at getting everything done.

Jacob Tyler Godlove made his entrance via c-section a little early on October 4, 2010 at 5 pounds 12 ounces.  He was and is to this day the epitome of tiny perfection.  Following a long weekend of rest I made my way back to the computer on Tuesday and began the process of catching up.  Jacob is so good and not fussy at all, although I confess he does like to be held or close to mom.  That’s me I can’t believe even when I hold him that I am a mom!   My husband came home one evening to find me typing away with Jacob held close and propped on my arm/ desk/ body.  It’s hard to describe but he is happy there and sleeps like (as the saying goes) a baby.  I was so happy I pointed out to my husband “look I can hold him and still work on the computer”.  My husband dryly  exclaimed that “there is a useful skill”.  I responded that it is and not to knock it or I will go into the questionable benefits of him holding the baby while playing his beloved X-Box.  Adding a baby into the mix doesn’t change who we are, it only increases the joy and pleasure we get out of our daily lives.

I will definitely continue to blog about our newest addition but want to share with you some images from Tara & Bryan’s wedding at Ceresville Mansion on August 20.  Tara and Bryan’s photography experience got off to a rough start when the photographers they originally booked canceled on them the Monday before their Friday wedding.   Every brides nightmare is that a vendor will not show up, second on the list of nightmares (I remember from my 2007 wedding) is that someone will cancel at the last minute.  Bryan who contacted me had one of the nicest, most sincere personalities.  After speaking with him and creating a custom package to meet their needs I hoped they would choose me;  I wanted to help this groom who was on a mission to make his bride happy again.  I was excited when Bryan contacted me back the next day to book me.  As we discussed what they were looking for in their photography it became apparent to me that we would be a good fit.  Although at the time I think Bryan and Tara were really looking at the best “fit” as someone being available .  Self described as easy going, laid back, not really particular just looking for the memories to be captured I made it my mission to exceed their expectations.  Unfortunately shortly after photographing this wedding I was placed on bed rest delaying getting their images to them by a few weeks.  Ever the nice couple they have been super understanding and I hope they and you enjoy this sneak peak.
