My Grandma is Awesome!

A couple of weeks ago I went up to Port Huron in Michigan to visit my "Aunt" and "Uncle" (we couldn't figure out how exactly the relation works so we agreed on aunt and uncle). lol. I thought I was just going up to visit some distant relatives and celebrate my Uncle Paul's 90th birthday. What I didn't know is that my Grandma loves surprises and she flew in from California and arranged with my mom to keep it a secret from me. When Derrick, the dogs and I arrived at Aunt Nancy and Uncle Mike's house, we were given the tour of the house. When we reached the top of the stairs, my Grandma was sitting there with a huge smile on her face! I was so happy I cried. I'm very impressed with my Mom who kept it a secret from me for the past couple of months.

I had a total blast at my Aunt and Uncle's house! They took us out on their boat and I swam in Lake Huron for the first time ever. It was as the locals say, "Refreshing." I actually wasn't planning on touching the water at all because I remembered my cousin Tiffiny telling me about the time she visited Michigan when she was younger and Uncle Mike told her to jump in the water without warning her that the water is freezing. Seasickness got the best of me and I ended up spending a large amount of time in the water since it was the only way to keep from throwing up.


Port Huron is a really cute town so if you're ever in Michigan you should check it out!

Jenn & Geoff's Wedding Pictures!

Last night I finished editing the photographs I took at Jenn & Geoff's wedding this past Saturday. It was pouring rain in the morning but the weather cleared up just in time for the outdoor ceremony. By the time the ceremony was over, the clouds had completely gone away. It was a really beautiful wedding and I was extremely impressed with the decor which the bride made herself. One of the highlights of the wedding for me was when my man caught the garter (the groom is his cousin). Here's a few of my favorite pictures and an extra one at the end of my future in-laws.

Getting Ready for Jenn & Geoff's Wedding!

This Saturday I will be photographing Jenn & Geoff's wedding at Tom's Country Place in Avon, Ohio. I picked up the cards I designed for the guests, so they can access the photo gallery online, from the printer today and they turned out great! I'll be sure to post a few photos after the wedding is over. Pray for great weather!

I Saw a Mink!

Today I went to Lake Erie with Derrick and Stitch to practice some new camera techniques and watch the sunset. We were walking along the little pier in Avon Lake when all of a sudden Stitch started freaking out. We looked in the rocks and there was a mink looking back at us! I have never seen a mink before. They are really cute! I think the fishermen must feed them because he wasn't afraid of us at all. I didn't even have a chance to check my exposure, I just pointed my camera at him and took a picture. It must be my lucky day because it totally came out. I think minks are my new favorite animal. He doesn't even look real.
