Happy day of thanks! I forgot to defrost the turkeys... so we'll see how they turn out :o)
EDIT, MORE PICS: This is 4 of 4. Click here for the first, second and third of the series.
i love the lighting in this last group. i wish i was in hacienda whatever when i had my wedding pictures taken. they are all very lovely. i love the stark whiteness of the dress compared to the old buildings and walls. did you end up eating at midnight?
Hi Roomie! Your photos are fantastic! I hope you and the fam had a great Thanksgiving. I'm back on solid food and realizing how terribly behind I am for Christmas holiday preparation. Maybe I can kidnap you for lunch and a chick flick this coming weekend?
Kate took the words right outta my mouth. You need to get your fingers warmed up and send off a letter to get your name on GO's list of photographers. Your talents are just oozing all over my monitor!!!
Shannon-I'm catching up on my blogging. It's been awhile. And I am blown away by these photos.They are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!! I am so jealous you got to go to Mexico for that workshop. Great work!!!
Dang, I keep stalking your page to check out your latest and greatest and you still have this post up top...just to remind me who's got the skills...right?! ;-)
Absolutely stunning! I wish I was getting married again, and that I was at the hacienda, and that I was beautiful with lovely dark hair. I would totally have you take my bridal portraits.
Wow! the photos of the girl with a feather are stunning. That's my favorite type of lighting. You're making me jealous. someday I'll go take some classes.
Wow! I have been missing out! What an amazing time you must have had! You rocked these! Hope all is well with you! IT looks like things are going great. :)
I have a peeve about names and name spellings. I'm not the boss of anyone and their name rights, but I do have an opinion and am not afraid to use it ;)
I don't understand the fetish of spelling a name completely different or making up some bizarre one for that kid to "stand out."
How 'bout you teach Chris self-esteem, confidence, and the strength to "stand out" by being a great musician, artist, student, humanitarian, friend, hard worker, etc. instead of making Khrys have to spell/explain his name for everyone he comes in contact with for the REST OF HIS LIFE?
If you find your or your kids name(s) on this list don't get bent out of shape. Hopefully you are confident in yourself to realize that not everyone will agree with you in life and you decided when you picked the name (or chose not to legally change it as an adult) that it doesn't matter what people think because you like it.
Here we go (+ denotes siblings)...

If you're in the market for baby names (if you've already named your child this, it's all good; I'm talking about future born children here), DO NOT name your kid these overused names (including the different spelling variations):

did you end up eating at midnight?
these are sooo beautiful, "sharon"!
Yes, Tiff, I give you permission to be as talented as me ;o)
We ate close to on time (defrosted them in the microwave) and the birds (2 turkey breasts on bone) were delicious after brining them overnight!
Thanks, Serena ;o)
She's beautiful and so are you!
My favorites! I so wish I could have been there!
This visit to your blog is brought to you by a dream I had last night...
Hope you didn't get food poisoning from not defrosting those turkeys!!
These shots are amazing. Beautiful work, stunning models. Love the ones shot inside by the window - gorgeous lighting & your compositions are great!
