and just for the record -

hola loreta! i finally got a chance to sit down and watch your ss (please dont tell anyone that i took a break from working on anns pics!). OMG - how fun was your wedding!!! i love it. the pics are great and you guys just look like youre having the best time. its a hoot at the end when the staff is getting down with you guys. i love it! did i say i love it congrats wishing you both the best - leigh

they took lots of prom pics. i will probably post some on the blog for the fam. please dont feel bad. how could i know they were going to change the date?

oh no! i dont think anyone else would think that. its just a more serious portrait. do you want me to take it down?

one quick portrait of ann, plenty if smiley pics coming later but i like this one cause she so stunning!!!
