The update

Some pics of our kiddos playing in the yard...

Jocelyn Darlene

In case you haven't heard the news.... our newest bundle has now arrived!! I am officially off of my prego-break. Jocelyn made her arrival on April 2, 2010! We are now a family of 5 and couldn't be happier! The kiddos are adjusting well and are totally loving their new baby sister. One of my dear friends made the girls matching tu-tu's, so we had to snap a few pics in them :) Thank you to all of our previous clients for the kind words, well wishes, cards and gifts in the mail, and for all of your thoughts and prayers along the way. Jocelyn definately fits right into the heart of our family.

More of Mandy and Jonathan

Orange Pride :)

This is Mandy and Jonathan, we will be doing thier wedding at the end of November. Mandy is a hardcore OSU fan, whereas Jonathan is from Georgia and loves his bulldogs. We had some fun on their playful shoot, we even got to use a football in some of the pics. We happend to time their engagement session just right, the fountain had already been turned to Orange for homecoming, so it made for a very interesting look, (I do believe that is the Orangest I've ever seen it.) OSU beat Georgia in football this season, so this lovely couple will be marching into their reception to the sound of the OSU fight song. It should be a very fun wedding, and we are excited to shoot a wedding at the OSU alumni center, that building is beautiful!

trying this again....

One more...

Marla and Blaine

Heres a few shots from our most recent engagement session. I haven't blogged in a while. I will do a post soon with random pics from our most recent sessions....

Marla and Blaine will be getting married on November 7th, in Stillwater. We had a great time photographing this fun couple...

Its been almost a month!

We have finally switched the whole house to using Mac computers....with that has brought us huge leaps and bounds in our capabilities and our finished product is even better than ever!! However, I still haven't nailed down my work flow yet, its yet to be mastered. I have to switch things over, and get used to the new Mac operating system (I've never really worked with it before, except for wayyyy back in college at OSU when they had Mac's set up in the Spanish Lab) Whew...that was a long time ago... anyways, Im learning. My blogging will get caught up eventually! There are several great weddings, cute engagement sessions, and adorable tots that I would like to post and show the world.... however, I have to figure some things out on this computer first! :) Im working on it! Hope everyone had a great fourth of July! We have had two weddings in the past week and a half, booked another wedding for October, and had an engagement session (On luckily a pretty nice 96 degree weather day...a rarity these days!)....its been pretty busy times here at the Crawford house!

We spent our Independence day this year taking part in the Boomer Blast, here in Stillwater...(slightly post-poned due to the storms, and mother natures own fireworks...LIGHTNING!) It was awesome! Luke was a tad bit scared at first, but warmed up to it by the end. Aside from editing pics, working on orders, and getting galleries up, we have also found time to take part in the Pawnee Nations Annual Veterans Homecoming dance (Luke and Jacey contested in the Tiny Tot contest, it was adorable!) We have also snuck away to catch the new 3-D movie Ice Age: Dawn of the Dino's. It was action packed, scary, funny, and cute all in one!

Thanks to all of our Summer Brides/Grooms, you guys have all been great, we are always left with such great new friends in the end! We hope you guys have all had fabulous honeymoon's and may they never end! Congrats again!

Summer Wedding Season

The Crawford Kiddos have switched into "Summer Mode". Spending their days outside doing just about anything and everything they can fit into any given day. While John and I are out doing Weddings, or Engagement shoots the kiddos are....



...enjoying the outdoors with their Nana! Thanks so much to my mom who watches the kiddos for EVERY wedding or SHOOT we have. You rock mom! Jacey has definately become a pro at riding her bike lately, not quite ready to take the training wheels off yet, but soon. Luke enjoys riding in his Schwinn JoyRider, hes got pleanty of room to kick back and chill. Nan....well she gets a work out keeping up with them, and sleeps good at night cause they tucker her out :)

So, for those that ask, "Where are the kids?" or "What are your kids doing?" when we are away at weddings...this is pretty typical. I took this shot when I called them and said we were heading home from the last wedding...we met just in time at the end of the street :)
