Merry Christmas!

Winter Sunrise on the Prairie

I took these images yesterday at my parents' home where I'm currently enjoying some down time with family and friends. It has been too long since my last visit, but I must say that on a day like today (overcast, frigid, and blustery), I'm already looking forward to my next visit (which I oh so coincidentally plan to fall during sweet corn season when those prairie winds bring more pleasant relief).

It's been a flurry of placing Christmas and year-end orders! I apologize for the lull on the blogging front! Here is a slideshow from Brooke and Brandon's engagement session to bring back memories of warmer, sunnier days!

Brian and Randy: Senior Session

Last week I got to spend some time with Brian and Randy, twins graduating from West Jessamine in the spring. The scary thing is, I remember when I was a college student and they were barely out of the toddler stage and their parents would occasionally bring them to the college cafeteria with their baby sister for Sunday lunch (of course, I didn't tell them that because then they would think I was really old). Anyway, they were good sports, even letting me get a few shots of them together to humor their mom.

Local Vendor Spotlight: M.Ellen Designs

Thanks to one of my summer '09 brides, Kelly, I've met sweet Mary Ellen in Lexington who is living her dream to be a stationery designer! This young entrepreneur has some adorable original designs if you're looking for something different for your invitations or announcements. I encourage you to check out her website! The samples above are some of my favorites from her 'wedding whimsy' collection.
Note: she will also create a custom design for you at a very reasonable rate!

Happy Thanksgiving!
