We have been so overwhelmed by the outpouring of love that we have received in the past few weeks.  The blog comments, emails, cards, flowers, meals, thoughts, and prayers sent our way have meant more than anyone can possibly know.  We cannot thank you enough.  We are completely heartbroken over the loss of our son and only time will make us whole again but your support and love have helped to lessen our pain in this difficult time.  You are incredible people.  From the bottom of our hearts we thank you – really and truly, thank you so much. 

It is our Christmas wish that each of you will look with fresh eyes on the treasure you have in your loved ones and take the time to show them how much they mean to you this season.  If you have children, look into their eyes and remember what an incredible gift it is to be able to do even just that.  When we look at all of the simple things we take for granted every day, it becomes so obvious how rich our lives really are and that every Christmas season is a wonderful one, no matter what.  May you all have a beautiful and blessed Christmas.

Much love,

Mel and Sean

We’re counting down the days to the little man’s arrival.  For my part, I would be totally fine with it if he just came on and got here!  Fear of labor?  No sir – fear of staying in this pregnant state any longer is waaaay worse!  Less than three weeks to go!  Hopefully… 

Obviously, we’re in wind-down mode right now which means less readily accessible blog material as well as less time for blogging period.  We’ve been absent from blog world for too long so to make it up to you, here are a TON of images from Megan and Nick’s beautiful wedding!  This was our first wedding at the Parthenon and we were interested in shooting there because so many had said that it was an incredibly difficult location to light.  Personally, I loved it!  I love the grandeur of the place and Megan and Nick’s sense of style was especially well suited for the location.  What a great wedding!  Hope you enjoy it! :o)

Quick side note:  This bouquet broke into single roses for all of the girls with messages attached to each.  Isn’t that cool?

The End.

Thanks for looking! :o)

Opal was my roommate in college and I’m so excited to get to photograph her wedding next year!  She and Brad are precious and we had a wonderful time shooting their engagement session a few days back!  Op is also a photographer so she’s extra patient and indulgent with my whims – like standing very still while we shot over and over again to get just the right amount of red leaves. :o)
