Butterfly Love

/

This is a way cool story that I only recently found out about. Sept. 2006 I photographed Mikala & Chad's wedding. As they were walking out after the ceremony, a monarch butterfly landed on her bouquet just long enough to be pose for a photo.

Later, I found out that her family has come to view the monarch as a symbol for her late grandfather. On several occasions since he passed, monarch butterflies have made appearances at special family functions, including her wedding.

Isn't that neat? I just love stuff like that. :)


I hope I did that story justice.... it was passed on to me from Mikala's dad, to my mom, to me... so... hopefully it didn't lose anything in translation. :)

Great Frames - Low $$$

Check out the great look I recently got for some of Emir and I's wedding photos. I went to Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago and bought 4- 12x12 shadow box frames (50% off!!!). Then I ordered some 12x12 prints featuring a favorite photo (with groovy background) and pinned it inside the shadowbox (pins are even included!).

That's it! They're ready to hang.... now I just need to find some photo nails and a laser level... Emir!? :)
