My husband and I dated in high school and have always been close friends. We have now been married for just over 4 years and we’ve been through everything you can think of together.  Every single year has brought life changing moments, giant leaps of faith, and precious moments of joy we find in each other and our son. My best V-Day memory together was our first one as a married couple. We had only been married 4 months :-). We had a “picnic” on the living room floor. I changed the words of the “boy scouts” pledge to something silly and sappy and wore his Cub Scout uniform! His face was classic. We roasted marshmallows over candles (we didn’t have a fireplace), drank champagne, and had the most romantic evening. It was so simple and yet so perfectly matched both of our joy in simply being together- no frills needed. He’s my knight in shining armor and wins my heart over again all the time.

I wish i could have given more time for this giveaway, but i really wanted to have the little goody arrive in time for V Day :)  So, congrats Erika!  email me your address and the delectable box of chocolates will be at your door step this week!

Engagement Sign-In Albums – I also wanted to share my most recent Engagement Sign-In album layout that was designed from Adam and Dana’s engagement photos.  I really think these albums are a fantastic way to display many of your engagement photos, share them with your wedding guests and it makes a great coffee table piece.  The image below is the front cover, so the image is wrapped all the way around.  I wish i had this when i got married!  I just loved the way this album came out and can’t wait to see their guests ooh and ah at how fabulous they look in each shot at their wedding this Sunday, Valentine’s day, in Palm Springs!  Enjoy :)

But for now, i thought I’d share this Album layout form Mike & Stephanie’s fun session!  I’ve started to use the ITDR Slideshare for my album proofing, in addition to normal slideshows…and i love it!  It makes it so simple for my clients to make any changes they want and to see exactly what to expect form their albums.
