America, HE HAS TALENT!


Shaun stayed home tonight while I got my pre-wedding pedicure (Thank you, ‘Cita) and then spent the last hours of the night finishing up the wedding favors.
He spends his quiet time playing with our photos and his Photo Impact program. I came home to a bunch of new ones that he had uploaded to our Flickr account.

You all really want me to be stressing over SPF the night before my wedding? Do you realize how many times I forget to SPF on a normal-not-getting-married-the-next-day Day?
Alright, you guys are hard asses!

1. Your Love (show us some love)
2. Take us on a Honeymoon! (bring us somewhere with your pictures)
3. Something Blue (No sad faces before my wedding!)

I want to also take a second to say THANK YOU for all your support, your well wishes and all the Amazon boxes that are in my living room as I type!

Catheroo and SuzieQ sent some COOL stuff that I will be showing off next week when I get home from a relaxing weekend somewhere near water and my husband.
Big Heavy really wants me to learn how to bake so I will have to show you all the neat things I will be burning.
Thank you Charlotte and Sue for the online bridal shower. I’m afraid to ask for a Bachlorette party.
EVERYONE..I know I am forgetting people and I am sorry, I am OFFICIALLY brain dead. Thank you SO much.

As if we are knee deep in all kinds of stuff ( wedding, repairing my van that someone that will rot in hell for running into me and then driving off, raising kids, dentist appointments and still finding time for stressing out) we finally finished our photography web site.

I love you all!

    I didn’t know you guys were going to start doing photography professionally!! Boy I wish we lived a lot closer. I would have you do some belly shots, maybe even the birth :) It’s a rare photographer that allows the subject to own the images, and does not copyright them. I have great respect for you making that choice!

    Your site looks fantastic (best of luck to both of you). Of course you know how I feel about your photos so there is no doubt in my mind that ya’ll will be very successful!

    I was surprised that you didn’t farm out SPF this week but we will try and do you proud.

    Wowza. I am totally going to be late this morning because I had to check out almost every single wonderful picture. So, so great.

    Love the one of pissy. And the wedding ones. And of course the gorgeous kidlets!

    Kristine,
    Your photography website is just gorgeous – I wish you all the best, I’m sure you’ll be a huge success (and then we can all say we knew them way back when they were just starting out!). I actually teared up at the location shot of the tree out by that point – that’s where Shaun proposed, right?
    I don’t comment often at all, but I’m thinking of you all this week – and I hope you have the best day EVER on Saturday, and then the best life ever after that! Just relax, take it one moment at a time, and feel all the blove coming at you from the Internet!!

    enjoy the last couple of days and have a great wedding!!

  13. melanie Avatar

    Awesome website!!! All of the pics were wonderful. And I have no doubt you’ll be a huge success. I hope you have a wonderful day on Saturday. I feel like I should say Mazel Tov (I have no idea what that means) or something but I have no idea what to say, so I’ll just say, “Take a deep breath……and jump”.

    Big kisses and hugs to you and Shaun…

  14. Sarah Avatar

    Kristine, I never ever comment, though I have no idea why not, but can’t seem to stop myself from checking in on your site every day.
    Figured it was time I came out and said something! I want to wish you the very best congratulations on your wedding and your new photography business. The site looks amazing and I am certain you will do well. The work speaks for itself, but so does the love and care that comes through.
    I hope you and Shaun have the most beautiful wedding day!

    those pictures are BEAUTIFUL. It is so fantastic that you are starting up your own photog business, and the face that you aren’t copyrighting them shows what great peeps ya’ll are. As if we didn’t know.

    Enjoy each and every second of this weekend. you are absolutely not allowed to be stressed at all or we may have to start telling people about the shower details! HA!

    Love ya guys, have the best time.

    Stunning website! I’d hire you for my wedding… I mean if I weren’t allready maried… and three thousand miles away… and stuff like that.

    Thank you for indulging our SPF addiction even in your time of stress. Hopefully we can rise to the occasion.

    I put the wrong divorce date on the marriage licenses.

    I wish you joy, luck, and many laughs as you two begin your new lives together.

    okay, i do not, not, not sunburn…nor do I peel. like EVER EVER EVER.

    I haven’t had a chance to get up there to get a new one!! I’m freaking…AND PEELING

  29. Melanie Avatar

    I love the new website and the pictures. They look awesome.

  30. Effie Avatar

    OH NO–you have time to get new licences, right??!!

    you will be TOTALLY peeled by Saturday with baby-soft skin and a wonderful man at your side–and there will be WEDDING CAKE–what more could you ask for, right?!

    And your website is lovely–if I was looking for a photographer right now, I’d go for you guys just based on the site–and photos you’ve taken…mind you, you’d have to fly to Canada…. :)

    Happy Wedding to you two!

    That’s easy for YOU to say, Baland! You’re at work…NOT PEELING.

    This should be a new attraction to Random and Odd – Watch the last minute FREAK OUTS in the comment section.

    Okay, Rina and Shea are…I don’t know, not here, they went to get lemonaide from a stand by the school…I think.
    Tyler…is OF COURSE at Chelsea’s house
    Kara is here with Alyx who’s back is hurting (yes, she is my daughter) and she’s going to stay home with her while I run to Joanne’s and return my fake flowers and see if I can sqeeze some cash out of those people.

    At 3:30 I have to go to talk to Bob about the music and stuff. That should go quickly. “Don’t play swing music.”

    OH MY GOD…MY WHOLE ARM IS PEELING…THE WHOLE ARM! I’m going to look like I have tapworm or something.

    The rehersal is at 6pm. Okay. am I forgetting anything…other than 70% of my arm skin!??

    It has to be the stress making you peel if you aren’t sun burned.

    Any aloe or lotion with aloe in the house? It has helped me the few times I peeled.

    Focus on the cake!

    WOW. I mean WOW!!! Your new photography website is beyond words awesome. Congrats on EVERYTHING!

    Relax, honey. Everything is fine, try not to freak out. I’ll be home in a couple of hours and then you can freak out all you want.

  37. Annejelynn Avatar

    so super excited for you guys – um, so who’ll be taking the pictures at your wedding?

    I went to wedding last year, in which the bride hauled her own camera around the whole time – with the exception of the moment they exchanged their vows… So I took pictures of the bride taking her own wedding pics!

  38. Andrea Avatar

    Slather it with lotion. Let it peel as it’s ready, but don’t peel skin that is not ready. I agree, it’s probably stress, but if you work with it, not against it (and not rushing it), it can be fine by Saturday. EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE!

    I DO sunburn, and have had to deal with some major peeling.

    Look at it this way…at least it’s not your face! :)

  39. Suzanne R Avatar

    Love your Flickr pics — your kids are gorgeous. And you and Shaun are so talented!

    I thought you might forget SPF this week; you are certainly entitled. :-) Thanks for feeding our addiction. ;-)

    I was touched by Shaun telling you to freak out all you want when he gets home. What a dear man! You will get through the glitches together and soon be married! I’m so happy for you!

    Congratulations on tomorrow’s big event! The new photography website looks awesome, and, thru SPF, I’ve taken you somewhere on a honeymoon :-)

    Awesome photography site! The big day is almost here, and my thoughts are with both of you. Enjoy the day, try not to stress, and just have a great time!!!!

    Thinking of you both as the big day approaches! Love the photo on this post!

    I played SPF!

    Absolutely LOVE the photography site. And YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW. OMG how I wish I could be a fly on the wall to see how much beauty and love there will be. Relax, enjoy and when you dance together stare into each other’s eyes like you never have before. I will be thinking about you all day.

  45. CrazyRideLady Avatar

    First, congratulations on the wedding!

    I just checked out your photography site. I am in love with you. Can I buy a print of one of the photos in the gallery? The b&w of the tree and surf. I love it. I love you. When I get married will you come to Minnesota and photograph my wedding?
