Featured Gallery....Sam & Clint

My dear friend Ginger introduced me to one of the sweetest couples I have ever met...Sam & Clint. I photographed their engagement pics yesterday and had the best time...as I do every time I do engagement shoots. It is so fun getting to know the couples before their wedding day. Sam & Clint were such good sports and did above and beyond everything I asked of them. Clint is an especially good poser :0) We got in the creek, sand, and under a bridge and much more. Thank goodness we didn't see any snakes, but we did see one black widow spider (yuk!). Anyway, we had a ball and just wait until you see Sam's beautiful hair. It is so not fair! I hope you enjoy them and have a great week!

"Contact" Button Not Working

The contact button on my website has not been working properly the past few weeks. So if you have sent me a message lately and I have not responded, I didn't get it. I apologize for the delay. If you need me today during the day, I will be at 334-399-4649. It has now been fixed and is ready to go again. I hope you all have a great week!

Summer's Over....

Well, we stretched our summer out as far as we could. Our school start date was delayed last week because they had not finished remodeling the bathrooms. We got three extra days of summer that we all needed desperately. Saturday night, I got to spend time with some of my dearest friends in the world at my friend Virginia's house. We had the best time just running our mouths and eating yummy food. We tried to take advantage of every second of our three extra days. Last night about 8:00 we got off our friend's boat for our farewell to summer ride. It felt wonderful. Has it ever felt this good in August? To tell the truth, we could have used a sweater after the sun went down. It was so relaxing and peaceful. I just wanted to tell our friends John and Linda how much we appreciate the boat rides and sausage. Anyway, I hope you all have a great school year. I know that I am rested and ready to go.

Megan and Luke

As I promised, I have added a "featured" section on my website. This week I have chosen to feature Megan and Luke. I have posted just a few of my favorite pics from each of their sessions. Their wedding is now in less than a month so I chose to honor them first. They are getting married on Main Street, at the fountain, in our beautiful downtown Prattville on September 6th. We are so excited and just know this will be a wedding to remember. I hope you all have a great week and don't forget to check out the "featured" section and get a peek at the precious couple.

Featured Gallery

I just wanted to give you all a heads up for something very special. Beginning this Saturday, I will be posting different engagement sessions, bridal portraits, or wedding pics to my new "featured gallery" section of my website. Each week, I will post a different set of pics so you can get a glimpse of what is going on in my bridal world. I have such a blast spending time with each of the couples and I especially enjoy the sessions because I see them as an opportunity to get to know them before the big day. I have made some wonderful lifelong friends shooting weddings. Anyway, if you have time each week, take a peek at what we're up to. Let me know what you think.

The Love of My Family

Yesterday, I had the extreme pleasure of getting to sit with my cousin Kelley and have a peaceful conversation. We taught together for three years but rarely got sit for more than our 15 minute break and talk. Even during our breaks, we were still surrounded by over 100 teenagers. Anyway, we sent our children to my house yesterday and she and I got to sit and talk and laugh by the pool. After spending this precious time with her, I have realized something I have known all along. Wasting time on petty day to day worries shouldn't be what life is made of. Life is about loving the ones you are with and that love you back. I want to once again tell my family and dear, dear friends that although I don't get to sit for hours and talk with you as often as I would like that I love you all very much and our love for each other is worth it's weight in gold (quote by Kori). So today, I want to encourage the few that actually read this to love each other with all of your heart and in the end there will be no regrets.

Seniors, Seniors, Seniors!!!!

I just want to say hello to all of you seniors that I "shot" this past week. I have had such a busy but fun week with you all. I know each of you are going to be so successful and I am proud of each and every one of you...Raylin, Lynsey, Crystal, David, and Brittany. I cannot believe that each of you are already seniors. It seems like you all should still be in only the 9th grade. Anyway, I love you all.
Love,
Mrs. Bruner
