Linsday Summitt Bridals - Horseshoe Bay, Texas

2009-10-12T11:05:00.000-05:00

Brandon and Lindsay were married this weekend in Horseshoe Bay with a reception following at the Marriott Resort. I can't wait to post the images, but right now, I want to share Lindsay's bridals.
I made a very quick trip to Horseshoe Bay in July and she met me there from Las Vegas, where her and Brandon live. We ended up with so many gorgeous images! I have been dying to post them. Here are a few!

These two pictures above were taken in her mom's wedding dress. I loved that she did that!

Our rehearsal, July 14, 2006

Our wedding party after the rehearsal, July 14, 2006

Our first look at each other before the wedding, July 15, 2006

And forever started with a simple kiss.

My first reunion as a Kitten- Fredericksburg, 2007. We just found out we were pregnant. When we found out, we were four days shy of our first anniversary.

We completed the Baby Classes at Lakeside!

Georgia's Baptism, March, 2008

Our second anniversary at The Office. We were just thankful to get out of the house and go somewhere that didn't allow a 4 month old.

Rangers Game with Mel and Joaquin, 2008

Tech Football, November, 2008.

Christmas Party, 2008.

Christmas at the Kittens before midnight mass, 2008

Christmas at our house after Santa came! He brought a schooler! I can't wait for football season so I can use it!

Georgia's first birthday. I helped open gifts as Nick wrote them down.

The Cotton Bowl with Mel and Joaquin, January, 2009. This is before the final score, when we were still smiling.

Cotton Bowl weekend in Dallas.

Our first Thanksgiving as a family, 2008. There were so many things I was thankful for that day.

Summer vacation, Moody Gardens, 2009.

I can't believe that today marks three years of marriage for us. There are so many things that I did not recognize as gifts until now. The first being all of the friends and family that supported us, loved us, showered us with gifts and parties and help during the wedding time.

I never recognized what a wonderful man I was about to marry. I knew you loved me, I knew that would not change, but I don't think that I had a handle on how much. You let me quit my job to pursue my business. You were the sole person that supported me and my dreams. You lifted me up when I was ready to quit, pushed me when I was tired, and cheered for me as my dreams grew into a reality. You still do. I know that will never change. I also know I would not be where I am without you and your courage that poured into my soul.

You help me keep my focus of what is important. God, then family, then careers, then possessions. I am so glad that I married a man with these values, and no one could have a stronger set than you.

You provide for me better than I could have ever asked for. You work hard, earn an honest wage and for what? For our family and those family members that we do not have yet.

I don't know how someone can have an inherent gift of fatherhood, but you know just what to do. Your protection of and love for Georgia is something that I have only seen from my Dad. I can't wait to spend the next years with you molding her into a person that we will be proud to watch and give to the world.

I don't know that I say it often enough and I don't even know what I would convey to let you know how much I love you, admire you, trust in you, and live for you. Thank you for a wonderful three years of marriage. Love is not a strong enough word, but nevertheless, I love you more than you could ever image.

I'm Still Here; Somewhere...

2009-07-08T21:50:00.003-05:00

So I have been a little worse than bad at posting lately. I can't help it. I have good intentions; however, the time escapes me. If I could only phone in my blog post from the car while driving to or from the sitter's house or while I am in line and the bank, I know I would do alot better. That is why I love twitter. It just takes a second, and now that I am out of circa 1998 and actually have data on my phone, it is really easy to do while waiting in one of the many lines that slowly eat away at our lives.

I try to stay up on things and I count myself as one of the technologically advanced, however, I think that I might also have an old soul. If you asked Katie, the marketing director at Savant, I am sure that she would agree as she does not have the same taste as I do in "generationally eclectic music." Last weekend, my bestie, my husband and my Georgia June went camping. Roaring Springs is not known for their exceptional cell phone towers, and within a few hours of searching for a signal, my phone was dead. This death put me in heaven. Sometimes, don't you wish that we could stop telling everyone every move we make, letting them see every picture in our lives, our crying our soul out to a keyboard with the twinkle of a hope that someone likes you enough to bookmark your blog, much less read your post? No calendar, no phone, no problem. Just me, my favorite people and a cooler full of ice and beverages that put a smile on our face.

Wow, it was nice to be away from technology.

I just thought that in my one free minute before bed, I would let my feelings escape to my blog. More tweeting coming soon, facebook pictures to be posted shortly. Ahhh, technology. It is a love/hate relationship.

Marcia and Bob, Nazareth, Texas

2009-06-16T17:36:00.001-05:00

This is the wedding of "I never". There are so many things that I have never seen or done before at a wedding. The wonderful people of Nazareth warned me that they had crazy traditions, but I could have never guessed that I would fall in love with all of the things that they do. And speaking of love, I fell in love with all of the people as well. I have decided that Nazareth and the people who live there are the gems of Texas that no one knows about. The hospitality and vibrance for life that they project is contagious. I can't wait to go back for another wedding, a portrait shoot or just to visit.

Marcia and Bob have over 3,000 images. These images were captured between 7 pm on Friday to 7:30 am on Sunday. Yes, I stayed at the reception until 7:30 am. I wouldn't change a minute of it. Here are a few of my favorites. The rest will be online in the next 24 hours. Just go to http://www.savantphotography.com/, click on ordering and you can see them all. The password is Bob's last name. You can also see my favorites under the "recent clients" tab. These are my most recent clients, so they do rotate off.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Georgia June

2009-03-05T08:00:00.000-06:00

One year ago today, I welcomed my first sweet baby into the world. What a wonderful day it was! A year later, I can proudly say that she is the happiest, most well mannered baby that I know. Here are a few images from the last year. Happy Birthday Georgia!

Me, one week before she was born and about 50 pounds ago. When I look at this picture, I wonder how I could even walk. There should have been triplets in there!

The day she was born. We were in the hospital. I am sure I was tired, just like everyone said I would be, but i don't remember that. I just remember waiting (and getting very impatient!) for them to bring her to the room after her check up.

Nick, 6 days into being a Daddy. I think that he might be the best one around. We had to hold the boots on her feet and now they don't even fit!

This is probably the picture that, in a few years, she is going to get mad at me for showing. I love this picture because it isn't very often that she cries.

I had to post this one. This was taken sometime last March. Her and Daddy were watching TV and both falling asleep on the couch. I like this one because the remote is in it and you can see how little she was.

Here are two of our favorite people. Georgia loved Brandon and loved to lay on his shoulder! Come back from Iraq soon! Georgia misses you!

Nick's very first Father's Day. Georgia made him breakfast in bed.

Georgia's first real food, other than rice cereal, was green beans from Aunt Brenda and Uncle Shawn's garden.

Helping with Aunt Brenda and Uncle Shawn's Garage Sale.

And here she is; one year old and about to dig into her first taste of sugar. I will post more when I get them ready.

Happy Birthday, Georgia. I love you so much!

So, there has been a glitch with the Cutest Couple Poll. Per poll, you can only vote once, but I want people to vote once a day! So, I will redo the poll every morning so that you can vote. I will start the poll with the date, so you will know that you are voting on the right day. This way you can vote for your favorite couple once a day!

Also, as you come to vote for your favorite couple, be sure to bookmark the page and to add yourself as a follower. You can follow me by clicking the "follow" button at the bottom of the right hand column. Right now I have 9 followers and I want to have many more that that! I love to know where the people that read my blog are from. I saw a Doole, Texas as one of the hits. Who lives in Doole and how did you find my site?

Keep voting!

The End of an Era

2008-12-28T18:43:00.005-06:00

Something very sad happened right before Georgia's first Christmas. My grandmother went to join her husband in heaven. It is very sad, as I am sure most of you know and it just feels like a part of my life is gone with her.

I have decided to spend this time with my family. Therefore, Savant Photography will be closed until January 4. I will be checking my voicemail, but will not be near my calendar or my e-mail for a while.

We will be taking her back to our home town, Ruidoso, New Mexico.

Say a prayer for my family, but before you do that, be sure to give a kiss to all of those that are close to you! What a blessed life we lead when we have people that we love.

Guess what I'm doing today?

2008-12-12T13:32:00.002-06:00

I have been hired and given a floor pass to photograph the Texas Tech Graduate School's graduation ceremony. Normally, this might seem boring to you, however, today, the guest speaker is none other than John McCain. I don't care if you share my political views or not, that is pretty darn cool that I get to photograph him up close and personal. My goal is to have my picture taken with him, so we will see how that goes. I am super excited and will keep you all updated!

Merry Christmas to me!

Time is Running Out!

2008-11-07T17:51:00.003-06:00

If you would like to place a Christmas order for jewelry, purses, accessories or Forbeyon Albums, time is running out. Call me on Monday to schedule a time to get your order in.

Guys - if you need a quick and easy gift that your mom, spouse or child will love, this would be it!

Girls - Don't worry, I have stuff for the guys in your life as well.

On another note, I have six items that need to be monogrammed. Anyone know of a good person to call?
