well it is that day you get to eat lots of candy and be with the one you love. or at least that is how it is supposed to be. josh was in iraq the last two valentine’s day’s (umm….two thanksgivings, christmas’s, new years, valentines days, anniversaries, birthday’s…..you get the picture! ), so as you can imagine i am pretty excited this year! josh surprised me this morning with a date planned! i haven’t been on a date in….forever! we are going to cheeve’s bros steak house in temple, tx! (ya there aren’t any nice restaurant’s here in harker heights… just taco bueno!! haha!) i am such a lucky wife! I love my husband! so, today is filled with valentine’s parties for kate and will first. i remember having so much fun as a kid passing out valentine’s. =) i hope all of you have as great of a day as i am having!

the new laura kay photography website is finally here. i am so excited, i hope all of you check it out! it has been lots of fun putting it all together but i am glad it is done. of course it will be updated all the time but the hard part is the initial process. so some new things to the site are the way cool featured gallery which is a fun way to see more from one session. i also love the shopping cart! that will make it easier for you guys to place your portrait session orders. the calendar section will be really useful so new clients can check my availability. but be sure to email me even if i am booked because i would love to hook you up with an associate! lets see…what else… oh ya i also decided to put my full price list up for all future clients to see and for all of my current clients who misplace their price sheet. =) well that is all i can think of for now. let me know what you guys think!

i was really touched by this wedding. i love love love weddings but this one was really special to me. melissa and andres have been dating for 14 years! since high school they have been best friends and just watching them you can tell how much they love each other. melissa did her own hair and makeup and chose to get dressed all alone, except for lisa and i of course! it was so calm and relaxing. it was wonderful!!! the ceremony was at the chapel of st. basil then the reception was at bering and james art gallery in montrose. allison and chad also had their reception a few weeks before and it was so fun to see how different the gallery can be decorated. i love that place! another amazing wedding!!!!
