Congrats Angel and Francis!

Angel and Francis asked me to take their wedding pictures. They got married on Sunday morning. It was a small but amazingly beautiful occasion. Congrats to the both of you!

Why I Love Shoplifting

These pictures don't have anything to do with the following comments, but they are pretty cute. I just wanted to say that I was never really temped to shoplift before Lizzy was born. Now I find myself stealing things just about every time I go to the store. I leave the store, and just as everything is packed up and Lizzy is asleep in her car seat, I find one item that inevitable slid to the back of the stroller and snuck out the door without ever making it's way onto my receipt. To make matters worse, this usually happens at the worst times, like the Saturday before the Super bowl when the lines at Wal-Mart stretched to the back of the store. On top of it all, I've never stolen an expensive item. The most expensive thing I ever stole was a jar of salsa that was on sale for $2. So, what do I do? I sit there staring at the salsa, or wet wipes, or mini paper plates, or ribbon (yes, I've stolen all of those items and more), and I think to myself, "I would pay so much more than this stupid salsa is worth to not have to drag Lizzy back inside, wait in that gigantic line, and pay for this." And I sit there for a very long time, being very tempted to just put the salsa in the car and drive away. Of course, I've never done it. I always unpack Lizzy and go back inside and wait in line and explain to the confused clerk that I stole her salsa. And I think it's strange how I'm always so grumpy about it on the way back into the store, but on the way back out again I feel really good about life. So, what am I getting at? Well...maybe shoplifting's not such a bad thing after all. =)

it's Lizzy's room converted into a studio, but it's doin' the trick. Kenon asked me to take pictures of her new little boy, which inspired me to finally set up my studio lights. I think they turned out pretty good...but how can you go wrong when you're photographing such a cutie?
