Monday Updates!

Hey all!  I'm back :).  What a weekend.  Weddings, and fall clean-ups, and pretty leaves and shooting the most adorable kids on Sunday. Whew.  I wish it was fall all year round.  I'm writing this from my office and this is the view.  Just the best.

Anyway, I know I must sound like a broken record, but this is my super crazy season so I haven't been doing much besides working/editing/shooting/designing (imagine that on repeat).  I have some gorgeous photos to show you soon enough, but I thought I would post a few of our in-between moments from this last week.

1) Yes, I did this.  After I got back from Holly and John's wedding last Friday (around midnight), I went outside and chopped down all of my basil plants because of the threat of frost (frost = dead basil).  Now I have three huge bags of basil in my kitchen and a lot of pesto to make.  Results of that coming soon.
2) Took Sophie to the mall to ride the carousel - her favorite.
3) Took Sophie to Adams Harvest Festival - which was fun (and cheap), but not so harvesty?  Did anyone else go?  It was mostly bouncy houses with a hayride thrown in for good measure.  Weird. 
4) Sharing a cake pop at Starbucks :).

Tim and his buddies spent the day doing some real 'man' work at our house on Saturday, haha.  Check out the results.  Of course, today it is 70 degrees, but come tomorrow, you'll wish you were here checking out our fire!

And, about Holly and John's wedding.  Prepare yourself.  It was a very laid-back day at Robibero Vineyards (awesome location!) and if you can believe this, Holly made the bouquet below and her own dress.  How cool is that?  She looked perfect, the wedding was lovely and it was just a great night. (real flowers by David Anthony).  I don't know if some of you guys know Holly, but she is the owner of Oh Sew Perfect and I met her originally when she did the alterations on my wedding dress!  (she is awesome, by the way, if you are looking for help in that arena). I'm in love with this photo.

Today is also the 1st anniversary of one of my most favorite couples! Meri and Eric - congrats!!  I am still in love with your wedding photos and I hope you are too :).  I had to post a few of my favorites.  I just had to.

And then yesterday, I shot our first day of mini-sessions! It was awesome.  The weather was great, the kids were great, parents were happy and Miss Sophie helped to entertain any early birds. She is quite the hostess!  Here she is at the end of the day, still smiling.  Just can't get over her :).

Lots of sessions and sneak peeks coming soon!  Have a great week everyone!

ps. just a quick update - I have solved the Pinterest issue.  Going forward, many images will be pinnable, please go ahead and do that!  I love to see which images you like!   Over the winter, I will go back and fix older posts to make them pinnable as well. Happy inspiration pics!

Holiday Updates!

Happy Tuesday guys!  Did you have a good holiday weekend?  We worked almost all weekend, and it definitely felt like fall. Love it. My fingers are actually a little cold as I'm typing this.  Crazy how it comes in and changes so fast.  I'm knee deep in the need to cook, bake, and decorate and I'm almost already feeling the draw of holiday shopping, crafting, and diying.  Almost.  I'm trying to stay in the moment, you know what I'm saying (I'll pretend that I don't have a few gifts for Sophie stashed in my linen closet already)?

Today I have a few sneak previews for you and a lot of links!  I've been collecting some good ones and since I have really been completely attached to my computer, not much else interesting has been going on around here besides all the beautiful photos I'm working on :).

I had a wonderful family session yesterday and I'm in love with this photo.  In love.  It is just the perfect, in-the-moment family photo, and exactly what happens with kids around.

(also, last call for my fall mini-sessions on Sunday - I have one spot left at the end of the day if anyone is interested!  I'm so excited, the weather is looking great so far [fingers and toes crossed]! Email me for more info!)

And, we also shot two gorgeous, gorgeous weddings this weekend!  Check out this shot from Brittany & Aaron's boat ride - such a fun way to enter your reception!  The happiness coming from this photo just makes me so happy too.

I'm loving this shot of Tim's (isn't it good of me to give him credit here? haha) from Alyssa and Rich's wedding.  Gorgeous light.

And now, to the links!
  • Let's take a guess if cutting sweet potatoes into pumpkins will make my picky kid eat more?
  • Half ridiculous, but maybe useful?  Especially if you make a lot of tacos...
  • Zarahome opened up shop online today. Lucky us!
  • Clueless reunion!  Kind of awesome (except that I read that Stacey Dash is 46 now, that means she was almost 30 when they shot the movie.  A little weird since she was playing a teenager)
  • With all of our beach brides, I'm loving this idea for escort cards!
  • So, I just realized recently that my blog photos are not pinnable!  What?!  Why didn't anyone tell me?  Flickr hosts my blog photos and changed their settings apparently, so I will be fixing that asap and starting an Uplift Weddings pinboard. I would LOVE to see what your favorite photos are from the blog!  Pin away (once I get it fixed).
  • Awesome gift idea (especially with instagram photo).
  • Awesome gift idea for me (Tim, are you reading this?)
  • If you are obsessed with fall festivals like we are, check out this list.  We went to this last year and plan on going again, pretty cool.
  • Lastly, I'm obsessed with navy blue this season and just bought this nail polish, any other takers?
(sorry any guys who might be reading, I know these links are a litle girly, but I am a girl, so...not much I can do!  I try to get Tim to give some more masculine links next time :).

Monday Updates

How is everyone this morning?  I could use a little caffeine and some lunch :), but I'm happy to be here.  We had a really nice weekend - getting to document a few awesome events in cool locations always makes us feel lucky (do you guys follow us on instagram [@upliftphotography]?  Tim has been pretty good at posting pics). 

On Saturday, we were at Sleepy Hollow Country Club (which is GORGEOUS, by the way) for Lauren and Bill's wedding.  No rain and so much fun.  Check out this ridiculous photo of Lauren - how beautiful, right??

Oh Bill, did you want to be in one too?  Here you go!  One of my absolute favorites of the day.

It was also at this wedding where Tim took this photo of me that reminds him of Kid 'n Play.  I personally don't see the resemblance. Sidenote: I'm obsessed with my new scarf [shown in this pic]!

And because of that lovely photo, I decided to photoshop him onto some DNA.  So there.  It is my blog and I'll do what I want :) (he also had a test this week so maybe this photo will inspire him?).  What do you think?  Maybe I should show up at school with a poster-sized version of this.

And on Sunday, we had the pleasure of hanging out with Megan and Eric at their Gelston House wedding.  Such a cool spot!  Megan was so relaxed - she walked all around Gilette Castle State Park for her photos before the ceremony with no worries about her dress!  The dress was fine (of course!) and she looked gorgeous coming down the aisle.  I'm loving this pic of them - beautiful morning light.

To round things out today - just wanted to remind everyone of our mini-sessions coming up in 2 weeks!  Definitely let me know if you want a timeslot as a bunch are already filled.  Should be a fun time! 2012_minis_blog

Oh yeah, almost forgot - check out this trouble...I took Sophie to the shoe store the other day. What I picked out is on the right, what she picked is on the left :).  Have a great week!

2012 Uplift Mini-Sessions!

Hey everyone!  I've had a lot of inquiries lately for family sessions, so I decided to set-up a day of mini-sessions!  Woo Hoo!  Check out the information below for details, and then if you are interested, you can email me for more details.  And just to clarify, these sessions are open to anyone - families, couples, pets :), quickie engagement session, etc.  Just let me know how many people you are thinking about because they are only a half hour long and might not be the right fit if you have more than 5-6 people.  Also, please note that payment will be due ahead of time to secure your preferred time slot. 

I'm so excited!  Can't wait to see you all!
