I said YES

so after a dream come true proposal well thought out by shannon we had our engagement session which was a pleasant surprise and a well kept secret! after shannon proposed on 11/12/10 he proceeded to tell me those cute little outfits we bought would be put to good use the next day in a photo session which took us to glen echo park and throughout different and sentimental locations in DC! we had an amazing 4 days together, the most memorable days i have experienced in a while! these photos were all done by kristen leigh...what a jewel she is! special thanks to cheyenne schultzs for the recommendation! shannon was such a good planner, i love him so much! i can only think of the donna fargo song "im the happiest girl in the whole USA, skippity doo dah ...." love love loved this weekend and what special memories we have to treasure. when i told corbin we were getting married he said, "yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" and then he asked when! i am so excited...

Hannah Bridal

so three weeks before the wedding hannah met nicole and i at wakefield farms. a good friend of mine colene let me borrow her 49 chevy, i was so excited. nicole and i drove to colenes, had a little trouble cranking the darn thing, we had to give it so much gas i thought i was going to blow the engine up! seriously this day was perfect. perfect weather, a day in a classic truck with my best friend who assisted me with hannahs hair, gave me great shot idea etc. anyway i just love her, have i even mentioned her name? nicole thank you for being awesome. so here we go, we drive off and meet hannah. we shoot for almost 2 hours and after our session we drove to the local fill in station, both of us agreed corn dogs and PEACH nehis sounded yummy! so here are my favorite shots from the day.



i am loving this shot






this house is B E A utiful, this is the newer home on wakefield farms

this is my favorite, nicole and i both agree!

a beautiful gal in a wedding gown in the bed of a pick up truck = awesome!

nicole brought a bird cage veil, leave it to her, we have the same taste!

maybe i like this one the best...hmmmm

Baby Brady

baby brady is 2 months old, my how time flies by? brady is the new addition in the caudill home. he is so precious and even though he spit up on me twice and peed on me i still kept holding, snuggling and loving on him. his mom diana and i went through a couple wardrobe changes. he is so sweet and he has a big brother named blake that will teach him everything. here are my favorite shots from his two month mini session.
