Baby: Emma Rae

About 3 weeks ago Miss Emma Rae came to visit us. We’ve been trying hard to rotate her photos in a different location each time to keep things interesting, and seasonal. We started out in the neighborhood playground…. it was nice to use it for it’s intended purpose…. and not as a dog park. That’s how we’d been making use of it till now 🙂 First: Family time on the swings. Then we made our way over to the slide/jungle gym thing…. Then it was pool time!

Product: KISS Wedding Books :-)

I know I’ve posted about these before….. but I can’t help but post about these amazing books! Two weeks ago, I made it a mission to finally sit down and design our wedding album. I feared that if I didn’t accomplish this soon- it would never happen. So I sat for 2 nights in a row after work to complete all the spreads. I had just set out to do the minimum 10 spreads- but quickly realized that once I was designing slide 9… and just starting the ceremony photos, I had a problem…. this book was quickly becoming way more than the intended 10 spreads. So I sat… mulling through the 700+ fabulous photos Story Photographers gave us…. hemming and hawing over which ones to include- which ones would tell the story of our day the best. Multiple times I asked Jeremy to come and look at this- do you like this? What about this? ect. ect. ect. At the end of the 2nd night I had 22 spreads, and they were all perfect. I then uploaded and ordered to KISS… and idiot me…. I chose media mail….. why? because I’m cheap, and it was the cheapest option. As soon as the order was placed I wanted that book in my hands, I just couldn’t wait to hold it! I’ll probably never pick media mail ever again…. I ordered that thing like 10 days ago, and 10 days is just too long to wait for such an amazing book. Then…. I decided I wanted needed a 4×4 mini KISS sample. The green one pictured on our products page was a for a client, so we didn’t have one. So- I decided out latest engagement shoot of Andrea & Steven would be perfect! I got to designing again…. and I have to admit, once I ordered it, I was almost as excited to hold it in my hands as my own wedding book! Well, KISS has a new policy on their 4×4 mini KISSes, you have to order them 2 at a time now…. so guess what Steven & Andrea…. you’re getting a little present in the mail soon 🙂 We’re not greedy and we don’t need 2 copies of the same book, so we’ll be sending you one of the two shortly! So here’s the lovely books that were waiting for me when I arrived home (an hour early from work…. yes, I was so excited I left work early!) Our Album…. 10×10 White Leather 🙂    Yum. Probably my favorite spread…… although I’m not sure yet! The mini KISSes 🙂 The 4×4 mini in blue, the 8×8 in green & the 10×10 in white
