Mel & I both entered some of our images into WPPI's international 8x10 print competition at the end of last year, and I'm proud to say that Mel was awarded two Accolade's of Excellence!
This is her image from the Bridal Party category.
And here is her image from the High School Senior category.
I received an Accolade of Excellence in the Engagement category... Here is my image:
Here they are sitting on a shelf with ribbons they sent us.
Hopefully the beginning of some big things in store for this year. Thank you for your support, everyone.

Here they are ladies (and whoever else just enjoys looking at baby shower pictures) - the long awaited shower photos!
Do you have a group of friends with which you just become completely stupid when you're together? My college girlfriends and I are like that. Here we are, young professionals and mature adults (I wonder when that won't seem wierd anymore) and yet when we all get together we're a bunch of giggling freshman college kids again! Ah well - you've lost everything when you forget how to play! Maybe we'll live longer this way, right? :)
Anyhow, back to topic - our dear friend Jennifer is the first of us girls to start her family. Jennay and Drew will be giving birth to little Anthony at the beginning of next month and we're all so excited! They're going to be such great parents! Both are terribly quirky as you might guess from the pictures. :) Their kids are going to have so much fun! Congratulations to the first parental units of the group - Jennifer and Drew! :)
Jennay and me entirely too close to a wide angle lense!
The guess the babyfood game...
Here, after actually smelling babyfood for the first time, Jennifer decides to renounce it altogether.
Rachel is pretty confident that she's going to win.
Open mouthed excitment - yea that's our thing.
Unless of course you can throw in a good sexy face like Missy. ;)
Dell's roommate's puppy Rocky joined in all the shower fun - is he not the craziest looking dog??
Present time! (Does this bring to mind Blue's Clues for anyone else? I think I've been watching too much with baby Audrey!)
The one gift that brought Jennay to tears - a book called "The Goat Lady". She loves them - I do wonder when this fascination began...
Jennay we've got to schedule your maternity portraits - this can't be the only record of your pregnancy! :)
It was so nice to hang out with everyone again! See you in May for Rachel's wedding!
Dave and Quin posted a few of our images on the forum we subscribe to so I thought I'd pull them on over here for you to see. :) Here's a bit from our freezing Canadian session! We wanted to do something dressed up and sexy and I think they turned out really well. We started in an old hotel in the mountains and then went out into the elements.
Yup - it was cold!
What fun! :) We've got great large wall prints of everyone else in our house - now we can finally get some of us! Hope you enjoyed them!
