    Hi my name is Claire. Thanks so much for taking a look at my blog and getting to know a little more about me. I apologize ahead of time for making you read my poorly spelled and grammatically incorrect blog!

    I am a caffeine addict like most parents. You will often see in the the starbucks line with my son Grant, who is also turning in to the starubucks snob at 3. Most of my days I spend with my dogs and with my family. I love spending time with people getting to know them more and being able to tell their story. Wither you are getting married, newly engaged, having their first baby, graduating form high school, or just want the most unique christmas cards I love beeing able to share those moments with my clients.

I love planning and coming up with goals. I find that they are a really good way to conquior your stress levels. The second part of that I really like is then figuring out how to put things off so you don’t really feel bad for putting them off. For example I had this goal that I was going to blog every day last week and it was going to be mind blowing for every one who read my blog. So for Sara and my Grandmother I think the only people who ready my blog, there life was going to be amazing! So as you can probably see I did not blog last week or even the week after that. It was finaly sunny the fair was in town and lets face it I would rather be caught up on all the editing I had to do or be outside. So my new goal is to try to blog at all. Hopefully I can do that!

Now on to this amazing couple! I was a little nerviousl to meet them because I had only talked to them in email and had no idea what they were going to be like. However not only did I luck out and they were normal they were so much fun and we could not stop laughing. Check out them out to see all there sweet moves I hope they will be doing plenty of on there wedding day! Thank you so much Desiree again for being such a good assistant, camera card rescuer, lens cap finder, and good friend!

Sarah is from St Vincents like my brothers! She was sporting the bohemian look and is super easy to photograph especially with that beautiful skin!
