wedding wednesdays - a guam bride

A couple weeks ago I mentioned attending our first guam wedding. Before the wedding, I picked up the bride and took her to her hotel room and hung out while she got ready. Her wedding photographer wouldn't get there until right before the wedding so I brought my camera and snapped a few of her getting ready. She was a gorgeous bride and unfortunately I don't have any photos of her once she's all dolled up. I do have a few of my favorites to share. The lighting in the hotel room was fantastic!

sissy's engagement pics

I'll admit, this post is going to mostly be a photo dump. I've been working on a project all day and I'm pooped. I'm tired of staring at the computer screen so I don't have the mental strength to edit a bunch of photos for the recipe I planned on sharing today. Instead, I'm going to share with you some of the photos from my sister's engagement shoot I did while in California. 

Before our session, my sister was admittedly nervous. She had never had professional pictures taken and didn't really know what to expect/how to act/etc. Luckily, she had me taking her pictures which held some sort of comfort for her. I told her to just pose naturally, be herself and have fun with it. Some of the best pictures I've taken have been complete candids while my clients are just messing around or whatnot. Afterwards, my sister said she had fun and it wasn't anything to be nervous over. We also got a bunch of great shots. Here are a few of my favorite!

first solo weekend

the park, right before my photo shoot

It's Monday and that means I survived my first weekend alone out here. It's so weird being here without George. I did try and fill my time though. I had a photo shoot on Saturday, worked on some pictures, made lots of yummy food that George doesn't eat and hit up the gym. I had so much fun with my client on Saturday. Her kids were so well mannered and photogenic, it made my job easy! She even had a sweet little baby girl, barely a month old! I'm truly enjoying what I do! 

24K cupcake from Infusion

Of course, after working in the sun, I indulged in some coffee and a cupcake from Infusion. We don't have a Starbucks out here, but Infusion makes some pretty amazing drinks! Their cupcakes are delicious too! A cupcake Saturday meant the gym on Sunday. I love that on a clear day, you can see the ocean from the gym!

view from the gym, see the ocean?!

The next couple of days I'll spend getting the house ready for the girls to come. I can't wait to see them and get to spend all summer with my little family!
