.....turning life into art!

Pure Joy!

On this little darlings face.

I am STILL under the weather.....ugh.  Now I have lost my voice and still extremely fatigued.  

And this is when I know a photo session is over.  This image cracked me up!!!!

Seeing Double!

These precious newborn identical twin boys melted my heart.  They get a lot of lovin' in their home from their parents, Grandma Barb & three older brothers.  There is a lot more..........be patient Michelle.

 

 

The Most Amazing Blue Eyes AND

The sweetest personality.  Just like his mommy.  I will post more in the next few days.

I am STILL recuperating. So I've got tons of catching up to do. I've been to the doctors and now on meds.  After everything, yesterday I then developed a painful ear infection......ouch.  It's a real treat to swallow food and lay down. Sorry to be so brief, I have got to rest again.

Down with the Flu.....ugh!

Thank goodness now and not on the day of the wedding did I come down with this.  This has knocked me off my feet with 102 fever, body aches, chills and cold symptoms. 

Alissa & Brittany edited a few images for me since I am feeling so poorly.  Thanks!  I'm lovin' what I am seeing......your work is stunning.

There is very strict copyright laws forbidding posting another photographers work.  I have both Alissa and Brittany's permission to do so for my blog ONLY.  PLEASE do NOT copy these images in any form without the permission of the photographer.

This image of Jay moved me to tears.  Alissa captured his expression when he first saw Amanda walking down the aisle.

 

What a Wedding Celebration!

Introducing the new Mr. & Mrs. Breitsameter......
 

My middle son, Jay and his lovely bride Amanda.

The beautiful wedding ceremony was presided by Reverend Bernie Pietrazak of St. Raymonds Church.  We have had numerous compliments what a lovely wedding ceremony it was.  Then everywhere in the church and the reception were adorned with exquisite wedding flowers designed by The Flower Studio.  The celebration continued at Maggiano's with dinner & dancing.  Let me tell you that was one full dance floor!  Almost everyone was dancing to the music of DJ -- Edward O'Dea.

Only one clinched happened for the day...........the trolley never showed up to pick up the bride & bridesmaids at the hotel 30 minutes from the church.  Then they never came to pick up the groom & groomsmen either.  Finally London Limos LTD sent an old, oil burning, dirty, blue trolley!  The bride barely made it on time for the ceremony.  There was some VERY tense moments there.  Do NOT EVER hire London Limos LTD!  They get a 2 thumbs down!

The wedding photographers, Alissa Brickman and Brittany Merrifeld did a FABULOUS job capturing the days celebration.  Very professional, creative and so pleasurable to be photographed by.   I am singing their praises from the rooftop.

Sometime soon I will be starting new with a revamped BLOG.  There will also be another link which can found on my website too.  I will post lots more in the weeks to follow of the wedding.  I have been given permission from the photographers to post their images.

Hardly a Moment to Post!

I am way, way behind with everything. My son and darling Amanda are getting married this Saturday........4 whole days away. 

This image from a recent session of 2 great kids reflects exactly how I am feeling these days.  WooooHoooo!

 

Slackin'

on my blogging updates.  I hope to catch up, but this is no promise.  Searching for a new studio space, doing sessions and getting ready for my son, Jay and Amanda's wedding which is less than 3 weeks......there has been little free time.

We are thrilled that wedding will soon be here.  I did Amanda's bridal portraits over the weekend.  Sorry no posting any of those images until after the big day.  Amanda, her darling mom - Mary and I had the nicest afternoon together!  Dining outdoors in our backyard on a beautiful day, drinking wine, worked on the seating arrangement for the reception and then photographing the breathtaking bride-to-be.  I got all choked up when I saw Amanda in her wedding gown. 

Here is an image I took recently of one of my favorite clients -- LaShaun.  LaShaun is an actress and will be in a Johnny Depp movie that was filmed in Illinois and Wisconsin.
