Brayden Bittel is a Winner!

Well, duh.  You already knew that, right?  But, no really he is.  Brayden just won a FLIP video camera from the awesome girls at Southern Weddings!  I entered a picture of Brayden showing off his holiday spirit and we won!  Woohoo!  I already loved Southern Weddings and now I love them even more!  Thanks girls!

And did you know that the very first edition of Southern Weddings Magazine is on newsstands now???  Yep, that’s right.  I haven’t had any luck locating it in California yet, but I’m on the lookout and when I do I will let you all know.  If you see it be sure to grab a copy.  I’m sure it’s full of beautiful wedding goodness!

Remember This Little Guy?

No, not Brayden Bittel.  His big brother Hauggy Newhard-Bittel!  Poor Hauggy has had a rough year.  Getting used to not being an only child is hard.  So I thought maybe a little photo shoot would cheer him up and boost his self esteem.  Well, the photo shoot didn’t really cheer him up, but the treats that I gave him for being such a good boy did!  This dog needs a bath and a haircut, but we just have not had time.  He’s been blacklisted from every groomer in a 25 mile radius so we have to do it ourselves and it’s a bit time consuming.  We’ll get to it this weekend!  Hopefully!


Okay, and here’s one of Brayden too because I know you miss him.  It was taken through our (dirty) sliding glass door.

This must be why our sliding glass doors are dirty…

Jamie & Erik

Jamie and Erik are the brother-in-law and soon to be sister-in-law of my good friend and go to branding/stationary/design/invitation guru, Jamie.  I met Jamie and Erik a couple of years ago when I was first starting out in photography.  They came to the Bengard family session to keep little Aiden smiling the whole time.  I instantly liked Jamie and Erik because they were so fun and funny.  They did whatever it took to keep Aiden smiling.

Fast forward a couple of years and I heard through Jamie that they got engaged.  I kept my fingers crossed that they would contact me and I was so excited when they did!  Their May wedding is going to be fabulous!  Lots of attention to detail, which you know I love!  

And I’m even more excited now because Jamie is going to be attending one of my mentoring sessions in March!  She’s super passionate about photography so I know her session is going to be tons of fun!

So, here it is. Mmy last engagement session of 2008!  Enjoy and don’t forget to check out the slide show!

Check out Jamie’s pink beach cruiser.  She got it as a Christmas present from Erik!

The always fabulous Carina with Flawless Faces did Jamie’s make-up.  Love her!
