New addition

The Long family has a new addition! My brother-in-law and his wife welcomed their first baby last month. We had the opportunity to visit them last weekend and I got go snap some pictures of the cutie. Welcome to our crazy family. We’re so glad you’re here!

Found ’round

First of all, I’d like to say Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there! I want to wish a special happy Mother’s Day to my mom. She’s always been my best friend and this is the last Mother’s Day we’ll be together. At least for a while. As much as I love and appreciate her now, I’m sure those feelings will only grow when we’re further than 50 feet away from each other (we live across the street from my parents). I love you, mom and I just KNOW that my moving away won’t change our relationship. We’ll just have to Skype over coffee.

Now onto some things I’ve found on the ole’ World Wide Web…

Swimming with dolphins has always been a dream of mine. This inventions takes my dream and ups the ante!

Ever wonder what that ant pile in your front yard looks like underground? Here’s an amazing video! Please note, the update under the video says that the ant colony was abandoned. No ants were harmed in the making of this video

And last, but not least, you must see these creations! I think I wonder if he gives lessons. I’ll need something to do with my time when I’m bundled up inside this winter. There’s no video but I assure you, the pictures will amaze you.

Can you draw a perfect circle? Can you do it freehand?

That’s it for now, folks! See you next week!

Remember the wedding I was asked to photograph? Well, I was actually asked by another friend to photograph hers as well! Her wedding was in February and was absolutely beautiful. It was classy, romantic and full of love. My friend, Anna, and I took almost three thousand pictures! It was so much fun and a wee bit stressful. But it wasn’t hard to get some good pictures when the bride is this beautiful. It’s just not fair.

Here are a few shots from the day.


I’ll have photos of the other wedding up soon. As much fun as it was, I don’t think I’d ever do this for a living. There’s just too much stress involved. And you end up missing a great party!
So, what have you guys been up to while I’ve been MIA?
