Time to fly…

“Wings spread wide…”

Where do I begin?

Deep breath, Kristin.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh…

Here we go.

My heart is bittersweet having to announce the departure of my beloved studio manager, Lizzy-lou-lou.  Our journey began just over two and half years ago, and it has been an utterly amazing ride.  She has been my right hand person and incredibly instrumental in keeping me sane.  She handled the day-to-day operations of our bustling studio with grace, charm and beautiful sweetness.  Her presence is angelic.  Her skill set and talent is untouchable.  Her heart, love and being is simply pure.

I ache…

I will greatly miss her being part of our team, but I am elated and overjoyed knowing that she is spreading her wings to fly and pursue her passion for photography.  I have watched this precious baby girl grow from a college graduate to an “I’m engaged! girl” to an incredibly beautiful bride – and now to a wife.  A woman who is well beyond her years and has a passion for the Lord like no other.  It lifts my heart to know that I have been a small part of her professional growth, but it moves my soul and spirit beyond measure to know that she has been an intrical part of my overall growth.

Liz. Lizzy-lou-lou.  Elisabeth.

I am proud of you.

I wish you blessings.

I wish you greatness.

I wish you success.

I simply wish for you.

I love you.

Lindsey Regan Throne - Words cannot describe how much we are going to miss you and cherish you Baby Bear! You truly are the sweetest and I have a tear already. You don’t need any “ell wishes” or “good lucks” b/c everything you do is awesome! Your biggest fans will be sitting in the studio every day cheering you on. Loves to you Lizzy-Lou-Lou!

xoxo,

Tiffany - Big tear! Liz you are a warm soul. A woman that has touched so many including me. You inspire me to be a better woman in so many ways. I cherish the friendship that we have and can’t wait to see what you do with your passion. Love you beyond words.
xoxo

Amanda | Duke Mansion Bridal Session

“Vogue…”

For some reason I cannot seem to get that Madonna song out of my head when I look at these pictures.  Totally IN LOVE!

I have been on pins and needles waiting to post these little beauties.  From Amanda herself – to THE dress to THE styling to THE makeup and hair – I could barely contain myself.

YUM!

So without further ado – allow me to introduce you to Amanda.  The chic stylist who has been keeping me blonde for the last 10 years, and the lovely lady who just married the love of her life this past weekend (wedding day images coming soon!).

A VERY SPECIAL thank you to Mrs. Linda Knight (Amanda’s super talented mom) who made this dress based on Amanda’s beautiful sketches.  And you gotta love Mood Fabrics!!  To little sugary sweet, Lindsey Regan Thorne,  THANK YOU for rocking this one out!!

Linda Knight - I’m an extremely proud Mother of the Bride — Amanda sketched this dress months ago, told me what color she wanted and simply said, “Momma, I want you to make it.” It was truly a labor of love for my youngest. . .September 28, 2011 – 3:30 pm
