Yesterday I had the privileged to spend the afternoon photographing Jeff and Shari on their wedding day. Sharilyn Friesen was ready to marry Jeff Schafer. After all her preparations, and perfect details her day was planned perfectly and went off with out a hitch. They were married in the “secret garden” at Wolf Lakes Park in Sanger, Ca.
Here is a little peak from their day.
My holiday season begins in October. I take on much more than I should because I love what I do and I want to accommodate everyone. This year I have managed to limit myself but, inevitably something throws a wrench into my carefully planned chaos. Three weeks ago I woke up to a broken laptop hard drive. This is NOT a good thing….This is a very VERY bad thing. Now over the past 3 years I have learned that backing up is essential! I have learned this the hard way paying out lots of money for recovery services, experiencing too much stress and the loss of some very special images, all because I neglected my job of backing up files. Yet all that begin said my nature is lazy and I don’t always do the backups like I should. Thankfully this time the most critical images were backed up but, a few were lost. So over the last three weeks I have experienced crazy on top of crazy. The dust is begin to settle now and I am able to move onward.
In addition to my own clients I had the opportunity to help out my dear friend and fellow photographer Kori Friesen, of Captured Moments photography, tackle some of her holiday sessions.
Thank you all for your patience, your custom christmas cards are in the works 
if you feel like I may have forgotten about you, I haven’t but, feel free to send me an email

Here is a bit of what I have been up to the past month There is lots to see
Sorry all, my blog is in a sad state. About a month ago I made a tragic mistake and deleted a little folder on my server and POOF! by by 99% of my images. And no I do not have a back up because I am not smart sometimes. My host told me that they could repair my site from their back up but the entirety of my domain would revert back to April. As sad as it is I have dealt with the loss and am forging ahead.
In addition to that it has been a busy coupple of months. Between family and business, I am working as much as I possible to tie up many loose ends for many clients, processing the many fall family sessions and all the while maintaining my sanity, marriage and mommy-ness. So for those of you who have emails and or called with in the last week please be patient with me I am working my way through the list and I will get back to you soon.
These images are of my son. He turned 3 years old last week. I can not believe how much he has grown in the last year. We had an impromptu photo session this morning on our way home from brunch with a friend. I had to seize the moment because at the pace I’ve been lately he probably wouldn’t have gotten his 3 year pictures taken until January. I am so thankful that he was in a cooperative mood
Happy birthday my sweet boy, I love you!
Soon I will be posting from some recent sessions. So check back soon.
I have been photographing this special family since I started my business. They are such wonderful people and great friends! One of the things about their children is that they don’t smile for me until they are about 2 1/2 years old. Miss “A” is now 18 months old. So smiles for the camera were very few. I was able to capture many great images and even a smile.
Blessings,
Kelley
