I already told you that my big brother took some photos of me and my hubby while we were down in Charleston on our anniversary trip. Isn't this location awesome? I wanted us to wear something simple so we wouldn't distract from the background. I love this one. <3 I love the look on Mike's face. No, he doesn't make that face ever time I kiss him! What can I say? I love getting my picture taken! This one, I took. Thanks, Leo! :)

One of the many photos from today's session! Isn't he adorable?

Today was the last day of our 1 year anniversary trip. It was a really fun trip and we finished it off today with my brother taking some photos of us at this super awesome location.  There are these awesome murals by dynasty muralworks on the wall behind a boat store/storage location near the beach. I decided to do this one self portrait, and I'm glad I did because I can now show it to you. (Also, if you live in the Greenville, SC area, don't forget to contact me about a FREE photo session !)

Yeah, I know. I've missed a few days. But I'm making up for it today by posting lots of photos! We're celebrating our 1-year anniversary! Can you believe it's already been a year? To dinner tonight, I wore the same adorable dress and shoes that I wore at our rehearsal and dinner . After the dinner, I still had lots to do and was pretty stressed. I'd like to call out the wonderful Anne Marie , for being there for me that night. And being patient even thought I was probably not much fun to be with. Anyway, on to lots of pictures of me and HerrKuech. I love him!

Today's photo of the day? Two of my favorite people in the world. Or, rather, my favorite person and my favorite dog. Being half-pug, however, gives my puppy (who is not technically a "puppy") very human-like eyes. So, she's kind of a person. Does it look like he's choking her? He's not. But I wouldn't put it past him. (KIDDING!) Here's some snippets I overheard Mike say while they were playing today: I will step on your fuzzy little head! Ew! Why do you have to sneeze on my feet! Go sneeze somewhere else. Are you dead? Bark once for yes. No, I'm not going to rub your belly. (Repeated several times a day. After which Mike rubs her belly.) Go chase a cat. [Meows] Yeah, now your confused. [Continues to meow.] Don't sneeze on my leg! Holy crap! I'm gonna step on your ears. Don't even think about it. Don't bite my foot. Ow! They love each other. Sure he steps on her ears and she sneezes on him. They just have a f

For today's photo, I'm posting a little teaser from a super cute maternity shoot I did with my very photogenic friends Marco and Michelle.

Took some photos of my house today because it's going to be featured in a magazine! How exciting. :) Of all the photos I took, I think my favorite was the bedroom, and that's the one I wanted to share.

This photo is part of my wedding redux photography. Basically, I'm taking the wedding photos that I never got. I actually went out today with my friend Jennie and took some bridals. It was so much fun to be in my wedding dress again! I felt like a princess!

What's a girl with a camera and no subject to do on her day off work? Wedding redux. I had a great photographer at my wedding. Except he's not a wedding photographer, he's a landscape photographer. He does absolutely gorgeous work! But he's not a wedding photographer. Granted, I'm no wedding photographer either! But I had a camera, a dress, and time...so I decided to give it a try. I'm pretty happy with them, considering I'm so amateur. I'm not done editing them, but I just wanted to post one as a teaser.

Okay, well, I went out to the park to take some photos today. And OMG, it was so hot. I think I'll wait until it cools down before doing that again. Or wake up earlier next time. It was so super bright outside, that I didn't really get the kind of images I was hoping for...but here's one I'm pretty pleased with. I hope you like it too!

Today, I did a ton of self-portraits today. For a gal without a remote, sheesh, that sure can be exhausting! This self-portrait, I did not use my tripod, just my arm. Also, it is 100% SOOC. If it wasn't I might've bothered to see if I could have fixed my lipstick.

I took today's photo after reading up on shutter speed and TV mode on That Wife's blog (a.k.a. JennaCole ). I want to go to a waterfall or fountain, but today, I settled for taking a photo while watering my houseplants. This one was a housewarming gift. If anyone can tell me what kind of plant it is, I'd really appreciate it!

I'm taking part in a Sh1ft.org photographic project. This one is 31 photos in 31 days starting today, August 1st. I took a bunch of photos of my adorable mongrel today, but this is probably the cutest... I will be posting the rest of this photographic project on my photography blog. I couldn't decide where to post them, so I put the first day on both blogs. I think I will do a weekly photoblog wrap up here, though, for those of you who might not catch them on fraukuech fotography .
