Merry Christmas 2010

Wow, that was a long two months away from my blog!! I have a ton to update, but I thought what better a time to share a couple photos of my girls than today. Juliet is still on oxygen, but since she ripped out her nasal canula and needed new tabs to hold it on her face, we did some photos with her tube-less. She's getting so big and strong. I'll share photos of her journey with-in the week. I've been putting together a long post to fill in gaps and details with some photos of her stay in the hospital and coming home. I love my family of 5 and having little Juliet with us to celebrate Christmas was the most perfect gift for us this year. Merry Christmas.

Cheers,

Introducing the Littlest Harrell *ITS A GIRL*

We just welcomed into the world Juliet Adele Harrell.

I went into labor at 1am, and gave birth at 1:45am. Juliet is stable right now, but we ask for prayers as she is going to be transported to Seattle. She has pneumonia due to meconium in the lungs. She will be on oxygen for a few days. The situation, though not uncommon, is a serious situation for how far into Juliet's lungs the meconium traveled. I was able to see her for a few moments, but it will be a couple days till I can hold her though. I'm pretty anxious, so please keep us in your prayers and thoughts.

Date: 10.31.10
Weight: 8lbs 6oz
Height: 20 inches

A Walla Walla Wedding

I know so many people have been waiting, patiently??, for these photos, and finally I'm sharing them on the blog! Amy and Brian were married in their home town of Walla Walla WA (home to some of the best wine I've ever tasted that sadly this time I didn't get to drink. But the growing baby will thank me I'm sure). I've known Amy since college, and so it was very special for me to not only witness their marriage, but to be the one to photograph it. I know all photographers say "its an honor to be chosen as your photographer..." But really it is! And even more so when there is a history of friendship. :) The whole day was inspiring and the emotion between Amy and Brian just filled the church and their homes with smiles and good memories. The reception location was Amy's parent's house. The backyard was strung with lights and flowers, and great music flooded the air. I could talk all day about how beautiful Amy was, and how much I loved the color of the bridesmaid dresses, or how I could hardly photograph the groomsmen with out dying of hysterical laughter, but I'll share the photos instead. Good plan?! I think so!
