final teaser: Shaina + Aby (a proposal)
- March 31, 2009 -
I’ve done it again! Another teaser image, as well as another proposal shot! I’ve known both Aby and Shaina for most of my life, and was roommates with Aby during my college years, so it was quite the honor to shoot their proposal and some portraits of them last weekend. Definitely will have more to show later on, but here’s the tease for you!
Alright, I’m all teased out, I think :) Now you can all keep an eye out for a ‘fuller’ post from my recent shoots. Woo hoo!

Teaser #3: Jaimy + Sijin (part I)
- March 30, 2009 -
You guys might remember Jaimy + Sijin from earlier in the year with their New Year’s Eve proposal. We got back together last weekend for part one of a two part e-session, so here’s a quick tease for them as well!
I LOVE TEASERS! Maybe instead of ever posting a full set, I’ll just continue to do some teasers on and off…what do you guys think? ;)
One more shoot from last weekend to tease later in the week…

Last Saturday, I kicked off the busy-ness of the shooting season with a bit of a relaxed shoot, since it was my cousin’s engagement ceremony. I’ll get a full post later on, but as people keep shouting at me for teasers from the weekend, I wanted to try to tame the crowds before I get hurt. So here’s a quick one for the ceremony:
There are two more teasers to come from last weekends shoots, so keep an eye out! Looking to get all the teasers up sometime this week.

I’m Back (with a teaser!)
- March 27, 2009 -
I haven’t been this bad about blogging since I first started over on blogger in early 2006. The past couple weeks have been crazy, though, as my Macbook Pro had to be sent in for repair twice because of a failed logic board. Couple that with the busy-ness of planning on my own wedding and shoots starting to pick up for the year means for a very hectic schedule. Even still…no excuse! I apologize and promise to be better.
Last weekend I had 4 shoots so I definitely have a bunch of images to get through now that I’ve got my machine back, but I figured I’d start with a teaser to get everyone back into the mode of checking out the blog and leaving some love! :) And I’m sure everyone wants their own special teaser…but I like the suspense of it all and will only reveal one teaser at a time. So here’s just one from Sunday that nobody should be able to get mad at. It’s my neice’s first birthday party, and she got to have her first taste of cake!

Since junior high, I’ve been creating NCAA tourney brackets. And in all these years, I’ve never won a single pool I’ve participated in. So why do I still do it? For the love of the game! The NCAA tournament is one of the most exciting sporting events ever because of the drama and the upsets. If you’ve never been hooked before, definitely fill out a bracket and follow the action- you’ll be checking the scores non-stop, especially during the first weekend.
So as always, I’ve set up an online pool through ESPN.
FOLLOW THIS LINK TO JOIN: NMP Tourney Challenge
To sweeten the deal a bit this year, the winner will get a $10 iTunes Gift Card (plus, I will give you the official title of “Baller of the Year”)! What makes it even more exciting is that you can know absolutely nothing about college basketball and still win the whole thing! (it makes people like me a bit upset, but I’ve gotten over it…every year).
So head on over the ESPN, create an entry, and join the group! First games start this Thursday, so you have a couple days to do your research (if you want to) and get on board!
Some Helpful Hints:
- #1 teams have never lost in the first round (although a #15 has defeated a #2)
- Only once in the history of the tournament (last year) has all four #1 teams made it to the final four.
- There are ALWAYS upsets. The most common are 12 over 5, 10 over 7, and 9 over 8.
- Nobody has ‘officially’ picked the perfect bracket (getting every game correct)…you’re bound to miss a couple.
- It annoys the heck out of sports fans when you choose teams to win based on colors, mascots, locations, and other non-basketball related reasons…but you have the same odds as someone who goes by the numbers ;)
That should give you guys a little added kick in picking your teams. Again, its open to anyone and everyone so spread the word! Only a couple days before the brackets get locked and you’re left out in the cold!
