Staci::Bride

Well, Staci & Clay are now hitched! They got married in Vega last night and had a gorgeous wedding and killer reception (complete with 6 kegs). Courtney 2nd shot this one with me and we had a blast as usual. We shot for something like 10 hours and didn't get home until 1:30. I can't wait to share images from the wedding! In the mean time enjoy a few images from Staci's bridals. I have had so much fun with Staci and her family...they have been so great to work with. I am really looking forward to Keely's (Staci's older sister) wedding in August. Peace+Love!

Glorious

So sorry I have been M.I.A. lately. I have had just enough time to get my client's their photos and not a moment more. I even had to work on vacay. It wasn't that bad. ;) Speaking of vacations. I had the opportunity to visit one of my absolute favorite places in the whole wide world last week. I went to Ashville, North Carolina to visit Biltmore House. Biltmore House is a French Renaissance-inspired chateau built by George Washington Vanderbuilt II between 1888 and 1895. It is 175,000 square feet, has 250 rooms, 34 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms, 65 fireplaces, an indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, and even a bowling alley. The 125,000-acre estate were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted...for those of you in need of a history of architecture lesson Mr. Olmsted also created New York's Central Park.

My family vacationed in Ashville several summers throughout my childhood. The last time I was there was in 2004 around New Years. Christmas on the estate is beyond words! I was happy to say the least to be able to go back with my mom, sisters, nephew, and Ella. We had a glorious time. I can't wait to go back! Here are a few images of the estate. I have many more photos to come. Peace+Love.

This first image is one of the many views from the hotel we stayed at on the estate. The hotel is quite magnificent itself. :)

Katie::Workin 9-2-5

Before I head off to the hotel room next door to fall asleep with my little angel who is curled up dreaming of visiting "the castle" tomorrow...I wanted to share a bit of my fabulous hubby's handy work. As most of you already know, Jeremy is my designer. When it comes to Christmas cards, wedding albums, business cards, etc... Jeremy is the man behind the curtain. I tried my hand at the design thing and there came a point where I needed ask myself, "Lezlie are you a photographer or are you a designer?" Now some CAN do both and DO. Me??? Not so much. Maybe it has more to do with the fact that I just don't have the time. :) Anyhow, I shot some head-shots for my favorite Realtor in the whole wide world Katie Joy Wieck. Jeremy designed here some super fab new business cards. Have you ever seen a Realtor with cards like these??? Let me (or us) know what you think! Peace+Love.

Leaving on a jet plane...

Well, Ella & I flew out of Amarillo this a.m. and are currently in Memphis, TN. We're off to Nashville and Knoxville tomorrow then it's on to Ashville, NC. :) I know there has been a major lack in images being posted. I am sitting on a ton of Bridals (can't post those till after the weddings) and I have some weddings that I'd love to share but just haven't had time to upload. Soon soon...I promise. :) In the mean time keep us in your prayers while we travel. Hopefully I'll have lots of photos to share as soon as we get back to Amarillo (on the 30th). Peace+Love.

Need 2 Know Info

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you are all doing extremely well...hopefully lounging poolside or something equally fun/relaxing. ;) This is just a quick note to let you all know that I will be in Tennessee & North Carolina from Sunday June 22nd thru Monday June 30th. I will still be able to check my email and phone msgs; however, my response(s) might come a little slower than usual. With that said, if you need to place orders (etc) get it done this week if possible to insure timely service. Thanks for your understanding!

Also, I have been overwhelmed with requests to do sessions in June. Unfortunately (or fortunately...however you wanna look at it) I am completely booked in June. Take a look at the Calendar section on my website to see my summer hours and shoot me an email from there to check availability. Keep in mind, as well, that people are already getting their sessions booked for Fall. So if you are wanting family sessions for Christmas cards/gifts then if might be a good idea to go ahead and book your session. That goes for you 2009 Seniors, too. Don't miss out!

Sorry for not posting any new images with this entry! I have been buried in Bridals this week and can't show those to you until after the weddings. ;) I will share Katie's head-shots w/ you in the next couple of days. Until then, have a wonderful weekend and Happy Father's Day! Peace+Love.
