Several weekends ago I took our dear friends Casey and Rebekah's engagement photos. They are getting married mid-April in Indiana. I did this session in a great new location we recently found on base here at Fort Knox, KY. It turns out that the weather here is very similar to Texas weather in that it's always going from one extreme to another. The day we did the session the weather was gorgeous; however, just a week before there was a terrible ice storm (see pictures below). The day was perfect, my couple was perfect, and I think the photos turned out pretty great too!
Oh, and by the way, Collages.net will be featuring my photos of Casey and Rebekah's engagement session on the week of March 30th as their portrait site of the week! I'm super excited and I will be sure to post a link when it's up!

Happy Valentine's Day!
So, I truly believe that Valentine's Day is a conspiracy; a way for the restaurant and retail world to make money. However, I really like it. It's always fun to put on your fancy clothes (and by "fancy" I mean not jeans and a t-shirt :) and go out for a nice meal with your sweetheart. This evening Stoney and I went to a great restaurant in Louisville called L and N Wine Bar and Bistro. It had a great French Bistro atmosphere and we had an amazing four course meal paired with a great bottle of wine.
We have recently discovered a whole new side to Louisville...the local side. Since we are here for only another month or two before we move to Fort Carson, Colorado, we are trying to go to as many "unique to Louisville" places as possible. Last weekend we went out with some friends, Amanda and Joe, and Karissa and John to another "unique to Louisville" restaurant called Mojito Tapas. It was fabulous! AND, Karissa just happened to go into labor the next day and baby Caitlin was born the following day! Was it the tapas? We will never know!
I hope that all of you go explore and support your local restaurants, businesses, and neighborhoods. I believe that every city/suburb/podunk town has it's special places...you just have to open your eyes.
If you are from the Louisville area or plan to visit, check out this website. It has a great list of Louisville local restaurants.
Happy day!

Karissa's countdown
Here are just a couple pics I took a while back of my good friend Karissa. Her due date is today; however, baby Caitlin isn't here yet! Karissa is always beautiful and her baby bump makes her especially radiant. Stay tuned...maybe I'll be able to post some baby pictures of Caitlin soon. :)

and the answer is...
The snow and ice are melting now, but we hear that there's another storm coming in tonight. It shouldn't be bad though; just a dusting.
The tracks that I asked about below are squirrel tracks. Hah...you all were way off. It was a hard one though, I'll give you that. Thank you all for participating...I guess no one is getting a really big hug from me. :)
