BRIDAL PORTRAITS

I did my first bridal portrait session this week! Although I have been offering bridal portraits as part of my wedding packages for over a year now, not a single person has known what they were or wanted them until now. Honestly before Kristin had them done I had never heard of them either and don't know anyone who isn't LDS has had them done. So I am guessing it is a Utah trend, but I am doing my best to make it a universal thing!

I took these at Daffodil Hill near Jackson in Gold Country out here.

I haven't done ANY edits yet, these are just raw images, but let me know how you think I did.

Par-tay in my pants... oh yeah... HEEYYYYY!

Everybody hop in! There’s room for EVERYBODY IN HERE! Look at all this room!WHEWHOOOO!!!

Today is my weigh-in day! It’s another milestone secret blog-readers.....


drum roll please....

I AM NOW A 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yeah, yeah, What on Earth does that mean?

It MEANS that my weigh NOW starts with a 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last May/June after I stopped eating.bingeing after David and I broke up, I hit 233 pounds and a size 18 pants.
Now, on Wednesday my official weigh in day, I weigh 199.2 pounds and am inbetween a 12 and 14, depending on the brand, for a total of 33.8 pounds!
Now, 33.8 pounds is alot and not alot all at the same time. For me to be in a "healthy" category on the BMI (Body Mass Index) I need to be 151 pounds or lower. When I was thinner before, the lowest weigh I hit was 165, which got me into a solid size 8.
So On the one hand, I have about 50 pounds to go. But on the other, I know I am going to start looking normal sized and cute, in around 30 more, and have worn a bikini as fat as 15 pounds from now. (When Michelle and I went to Vegas I was around 185 and wore a bikini- with boy short bottoms- and she said at the time I looked great- she could have been lying, LOL but I don’t think I traumatized anyone with my rolls.)

So anyway, that’s my weight update!

JUST FOR FUN

So I'm a wedding photographer, right? But I never post any pictures of my work because I have MySpace and My Website for that.


But, I took a few pictures the last couple of weeks that I really like, so I am sharing them today!

WEIGHT LOSS

I did it! I did it! Yesterday was my weigh in day and I was SO excited because I was down 29 pounds, but today I weighed myself because I hit 30 pounds lost! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, only like freaking 50 more to go, but HEY! it's a milestone!!!

Catch & Release

CATCH & RELEASE

Catch & Release has been my favorite movie for months and months. It is AWESOME. If you have not seen it, you MUST. It is a dramatic romantic comedy. The movie starts with flowers being delivered to a house for a wedding, where you discover the groom actually died on his Bachelor weekend, and now we are going to watch the bride deal with the consequences of what happened. This movie is AMAZING. It has also really helped me deal with my feelings as I move past David. The images in the movie are gorgeous (filmed in Colorado- Boulder) , and the story is just- it feels real. Jennifer Garner stars, who I have always HATED until THIS MOVIE, which just goes to show how good of a job she does! I totally cried, I laughed, everything in this movie. Her feelings ( if not the story) is totally relatably and you feel it when she feels it. I adore the soundtrack too.

Go see it! Rent it! It's awesome! I bought it and I have watched it at least a dozen times since I got it, and I saw it in the theatre too.

Link to the trailer: (BTW I really don't like the trailer, the movie is way better than the trailer makes it look)

Law School Basketball Game

BASKETBALL GAME

I never posted about the basketball game so here it is!

Our students played against the faculty and alumni of Lincoln Law School, and we won! 82 to 69 I think! Lots of fun! I think I was the loudest cheerer there though. Why don't these people scream for their team?! lol

I also saw my old boss from the Public Defender's Office, which was exciting for me, but I"m pretty sure he had NO idea who I was. Whatever.
