Mom’s Haircut

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 7:34 pm

For mom’s birthday we gave her a trip to the salon for a much needed haircut! She hadn’t been in so long that she ended up getting EIGHT INCHES taken off and it still comes almost half way down her back! Mom says her head feels a lot lighter and her hair feels much healthier so she thanked us a lot. At the salon, mom’s stylist was a really nice woman who just moved here from Atlanta. She did hair for weddings there and wants to get that going again here because she loves doing it. She works with a makeup artist and they will come to you on the wedding day. Mom said she did a great job with her hair so if anyone needs a hair and makeup person for their wedding get in touch with Bo at bogumila@gmail.com or 813-293-1773.

Here are a couple pictures of mom’s new haircut and her growing belly now that she is almost 5 months along!

And we’ve also been saying that we need to show how much little brother’s hair has lightened. Here he is when he was born. His hair is almost black!

It was a little lighter at 6 months, but still a dark brown (and very long).

And these were taken just a few weeks ago. Can you believe how much lighter his hair is now?! It looks like it was dyed but we really didn’t do anything at all to it! In these pictures the sun makes it look a little lighter than it really is but even inside it looks almost blond.

Jessica and Adam at Hunter’s Green Country Club

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 6:42 pm

Saturday was Jessica and Adam’s wedding day! Dad met up with earlier this month for their engagement session. It was dad’s first engagement session of the new year. Jessica and Adam are friends with Beth and Wade whose wedding dad photographed at the Lange Farm a little over a year ago. Beth was a bridesmaid for Jessica and Adam’s wedding so dad got to spend a bit of time with her during the day. He loves catching up with past couples!

Jessica and Adam were married at Hunter’s Green Country Club and their wedding color was, appropriately, green. Mom liked how the couple used a matching set so the unity candle, guest book and pen, ring bearer pillow, and flower girl pillow all had the same green pleated material held together by a decorative pin.

There were beach details thoughout the wedding as well. Candles in glass vases of sand and shells were the centerpieces. On the tables were starfish and sand dollars for the guests complete with ribbon personalized with the couple’s names and wedding date. The guest book table was decorated with candles in star fish holders and pictures of the couple and their families framed in sea shell frames. Dad’s favorite was the cake. It looked just like a sand castle! The cake table itself was made to look like the beach with netting over the linens, shells scattered all around, and even a little figurine of a bird perched near the cake. The serving set was personalized and had handles that looked like sand with shells in it. The cake was done by Alessi Bakery and dad said they did a great job and everything looked awesome.

Ben from Grant Hemond was the DJ for the reception. Dad hadn’t worked with him for a while and enjoyed seeing him again. He is always a lot of fun!

Jessica and Adam are headed to Las Vegas for their honeymoon! What fun! Enjoy the shows, the delicious restaurants, and the interesting night life.

Nicole and Mike are Married

Sunday, January 18, 2009 6:00 pm

Dad is having an awesome weekend! He has three days of weddings and at each one he gets to see some of his past couples again!

On Friday dad photographed Nicole and Mike’s wedding. They are friends with Sarah and Rob whose wedding dad photographed a little more than a year ago. Some of you might remember Sarah and Rob from their Trash the Dress session. Pictures of it are on our old blog but we still get emails about it from time to time! Sarah and Rob got their wedding party together again after the wedding for the only Trash the Dress session dad has ever photographed where the dress really did get trashed. Most brides keep their dresses pretty clean but even those who haven’t cared about their dress getting soaking wet or dirty have ended up with their dress being fine after being professionally cleaned. Sarah made sure her dress was truly trashed when she came up with the idea of playing paintball! Dad said it was the most fun trash the dress session he’s done so far! It was great to see Sarah and Rob again, and dad says if you two are up for another game of paintball he’s in!

Nicole and Mike’s wedding ceremony took place at St. Raphael Catholic Church in St. Petersburg. Dad has been to that location many times and likes photographing there. Mike started smiling the moment he saw Nicole and didn’t stop throughout the entire ceremony. After pictures, the couple headed to North Redington Beach for their reception at The Wine Cellar where there was a DJ from Grant Hemond and Associates. All the guests at the wedding were ready to celebrate. There was lots of dancing and that kept going right to the end of the night. The wedding colors were white or cream with brown and the couple included those colors thorughout their stationary and decor. The detail on the cake was pretty and the couples monogram was on the cake and the cake serving set. We think it was neat that tables were marked with postcards from different resorts and parks in Disney. It reminds us that dad said he would take us to Downtown Disney this week!

Darla Stafford did a gorgeous job with Nicole’s hair. Mom loves the pins and was amazed that the curls still looked great that night.

Mark and Michelle’s Newborn

Saturday, January 17, 2009 8:16 pm

It is so great when dad gets to see a family grow. Dad first photographed Mark and Michelle at their wedding a couple years ago and he was excited for them when they shared the news that they were expecting! In November dad photographed their maternity session and on Thursday he went to their house to meet the new baby. Mark and Michelle’s son was only ten days old for his pictures so dad was able to capture him when he was still really just a newborn. It is amazing how quickly babies change and grow!

Dad also got to meet Mark and Michelle’s two dogs and said they were awesome! They weren’t as cute as the baby of course, but they were still pretty cute.

Mark and Michelle, thanks for including us in special memories as your family grows. We are so happy for your new addition and can’t wait to see the baby as he gets bigger!

This picture made mom laugh! It looks like the baby is shocked that his dad would hold him like this and has a “Don’t you drop me dad!!!” look on his face.

Another Baby with a Full Head of Hair!

Saturday, January 17, 2009 5:31 pm

When Carrie first emailed about a portrait session for her six-week old baby boy, she said that seeing pictures on the blog of us as babies reminded her of her son because he also had a full head of dark hair. Mom saw pictures of Carrie’s little boy and agrees! But dad warned Carrie that it still might change; both of us have much lighter hair now and one of us is even almost blond! We’ll have to share pictures of that on the blog another time so Carrie can see what might happen. But for now Carrie’s son has dark hair and lots of it! Mom loves how it spikes up a bit on the top. So cute!

Dad said Carrie and her husband were wonderful and were having fun with their new role as parents. The baby and his dad had a great time making faces at each other. Congratulations to your beautiful family!
