Oh (Little) Boy

The past couple of months have just been crazy and I'm horribly embarrassed to say that the blog has been neglected as a result. Too many trips to Texas + a busy summer + moving into a new house + pregnancy = a very exhausted Kim. I do plan on catching up and owe the following blog posts:

Jean and Matt - wedding
the Harrell family
Erin and Brian - wedding
Elisa and Landon - wedding
Brittany and William - engagement
Tiffany and Corey - engagement

Boy, that is a long list! Come back tomorrow for the first installment of overdue blogging but in the meantime, check out my little guy:

Out of Office

Hey everyone! I'll be "out of the office" July 24-27 (Erin and Brian's wedding in Lubbock, significantly cheaper flight by staying an extra day) and July 30-August 3 (Elisa and Landon's wedding in Austin plus a few days with family and friends). I will still be able to answer phone calls, but emails will only be answered at night. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything!

Mattie - Class of 2009

My friend Mattie graduated from Texas Tech this May with a degree in Cell and Molecular Biology and she asked me to take a few pictures of her around campus. Despite wearing pants and a jacket, I was still f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g cold and the drizzle did not help, so I can only imagine how cold Mattie must have been in her really cute dresses. She was an excellent sport and didn't complain at all. We had a great time! Boyfriend Matt showed up with his umbrella and even jumped in for a few just-for-fun pictures as well. Mattie is super smart and will be staying put to pursue a Master's degree in Microbiology. Mattie, I love you and let's do it again real soon!

UPDATE: Matt proposed to Mattie on July 4th on an Australian beach! Can't wait for the wedding (and ahem, hopefully more pictures)!

Jean's Bridals

Jean and Matt were married last weekend so here are the bridals we took the previous month in Lubbock, Texas. Check out the amazing engagement ring! I love little detail shots like this one!

Jean looked amazing in her gorgeous Maggie Sottero gown. Here you can see her Southwestern University class ring which is a new tradition that they didn't have when I was a student there.

Hair and makeup by Salon Tolani in Midland, Texas. Definitely worth the drive, don't you think?

It was gloomy and threatened to rain all day but the sun finally came out at the very end of the day!

Jean and Matt - Engagement

I traveled to Lubbock (again!) a few weeks ago for Jean and Matt's engagement session and for Jean's bridal session. I can't show the bridals yet, but here are some of my favorites from the engagements. Jean and Matt are high school sweethearts and totally in love. Amazingly, Jean and I graduated from the same college, Southwestern University, which is a big deal when the school only enrolls 1250 students at a time. Jean is now a law student at Texas Tech and Matt just moved to Lubbock last month after completing his military service. I can't wait for the wedding in Midland in a couple of weeks!
