David and Elizabeth Sneek Peek

Here is a sneek peek at the pictures to come from David and Elizabeth's wedding at the L'Auberge de Sedona Resort in Sedona last weekend. They had one of the most beautiful, intimate weddings that I have ever seen! I hope that they have an amazing time in Europe on their honeymoon. Seriously, Paris in the fall? I'm SO jealous!!

I've been a bad little blogger lately! It's been for a good reason though! Lots of new,excting things going on! I the near future you can look for:

*New website (it's gonna be fab!)

*New business cards (this Tuesday!)

*New blog

And of course in the middle of all this it's officially wedding season! I've got weddings back to back until Thanksgiving so bear with me all you fabulous people! Have a great week everyone!

Splat!

Okay, I am the first to admit that I can be a little clumsy from time to time... I am just lucky that it doesn't spill over into my professional life! But what happened this week was a freak accident that even I can't believe!

I was at Good Sam hospital visiting my grandmother who was in for heart surgery. My mom and I had already been at the hospital for 8 hours and so we decided to go home for the night. We had not walked 20 feet from her hospital room when I slipped in a small puddle of water and hit my knee on the tile! Next thing I know nurses are rushing me into the ER for X-Rays and I'm sitting there going "How did this happen?"

So after my long day, I had to spend a few more hours in the ER. Thankfully, nothing is broken and I should be fine soon. A few more days of crutches and limping and I'll be good to go! I am just glad that this happened now and not during wedding season! Just chalk it up to me being clumsy me!

David and Elizabeth Sneak Peek

Last Friday I headed up to gorgeous Sedona to photograph David and Elizabeth's engagement pictures. We took so many great shots that it was difficult to narrow it down! Here is one sneak peek... more to come soon!

Chris and Justine Engagement Session

It was an unbelievably hot day at the Desert Botanical Gardens, but I had a blast working with Chris and Justine! I am looking forward to their November wedding... even though we won't see Chris until then since he is leaving for boot camp in August and not returning until right before the wedding. Good luck Chris!

Here are my favs from the day!

What's in a name?

I get asked frequently about how I came up with my business name. So I thought that I would post a blog about it...

My maiden name is Ivy (well, it was spelled Ivie, but making Ivy was easier) and my married last name is James. I loved Ivy and really didn't want to let it go when I got married but 

didn't want to hyphenate my name (I'm a pretty modern girl but when it comes to marriage I am quite traditional!) When it came time to choosing a business name I thought that it would be the perfect way to incorporate my past with my present/ future!

And since no blog is complete without a picture, I am posting a picture of our "kid" Betty. You will come to know her quite well as she is a major part of our lives.
