I adore these two…

LOVE 😀

The above photo and the below photo were taken within 10 feet of each other. 🙂

Hellooooooo amazing warm Indiana fall light!

Emily’s mom (Margaret) found this little bridge as she was driving around Indianapolis.  To ask permission of the owner she dropped a note in their mailbox with her number to call. The owner called and said no problemo! Come to find out… the owner has a son who just got married on that bridge over the summer. BTW, genius with the “letter in mailbox move” Margaret!  I’m totally using that!

I titled this photo…. “snuggles on a hill”. You know… when photos have titles it makes the photographer sound more impressive. So, are you impressed? 😀

Mike’s favorite ❓

HOLY WOW TO THOSE EYES!!!!!!

Emily and Matt, if you two decide to have kids they’re GUARANTEED to have some incredible eyes… CHECK AND MARK! My favorite ❗

how they met, as told by emily | “Matt and I met through our church’s college group the summer of 2008.  We would often hang out in groups with me pestering him and trying to get him to talk. (Back then he was shy 🙂 ) Then finally in December (after lots of flirting) we went on our first date!

Thanks for spending the afternoon with us… had a great time getting to know you both 😀

Much love friends!

Given my lack of balance this was a risky photo to have taken! But, as you can see by the last photo of Emily and Matt… TOTALLY worth the risk! 😀

As we approached this hill to take photos on it Mike said, “WOW! that looks like the most perfect hill to roll down!” Matt agreed and they reminisced about how it would be nice to be a kid again.  At the end of the session, after the sun had set, Mike said… “…..so, you wanna roll down?”  AND THEY DID! 😀 I freaking adore our clients/friends.  Mike loved it so much he ran back up to roll down a second time!   Mike, you’re my favorite person in the whole wide world 😀 This moment was seriously the highlight of my month…

Friends, we’re OFFICIALLY two weeks from the finale 😀 TWO WEEKS!!!! (Reminder: Finale is December 10)

A personal healthy train update:

% lost since April 2nd: 7.7%

Total lost since October, 2008: 23.3%

I’m almost at a quarter of myself GONE-zo 😀 😀 😀

(Weight loss percentage calculator here.)

How are you guys doing??? This is the time to kick it into high gear…. “last chance work out” style! Start getting that hot body of yours ready for your “after photo” (which, by the way, need to be sent to me by December 14). No extensions this time… this is the END! We’ll be announcing the winner December 17th. 😀

Personally, we’re traveling to Texas for 8 days for work between now and the finale… so… if I can just maintain for the finale, that’d be victory enough. HOWEVER, if I could get to 25%… I would NOT be upset about it! I’ll definitely be working out while we’re there 🙂 You know… LAST CHANCE WORK OUT STYLE!!!!! 🙂

Okay, you know I don’t like blogging without a photo…

I promised you guys that, at the end of the healthy train, I’d practice what I preach….  and get photos taken of Mike and me. Well, we were in need of some photos of us for promotional stuff anyway… so, what better timing?! Now, I know it’s not THE end of the healthy train… but, let’s face it… we live in the good ol’ midwest and it’s not getting any warmer!

Taken last week by our good friends, who also happen to be oh so talented… Stefanie and Brock Childs 🙂 I can’t thank you two enough… you did an INCREDIBLE job. More on those two later, too 🙂

I have lots to say about being on the other side of the camera… but I’ll save that for when we post more. For now… just one 😀

I am in LOVE with this photo. I’m the luckiest girl I know. Mike’s so damn hot! He’s like a fine wine… gets better with age! Okay, that was cheesy… Shushing now.

More later, promise 🙂

In the meantime… get those asses in gear! IT’S NOW OR NEVER BETTIES!!!!!

Finale: December 10.

“After photo” deadline: December 14 (my half birthday! )

Next healthy train: January 7 🙂

See you again in LESS THAN two weeks!

Much love friends!

PS. sorry for being a bit late… it just wasn’t fair to me or to you to healthy train blog the DAY after Thanksgiving!

 

Rachael, you’re a stunner, k? Oh, and that little smile on Patrick’s face… LOVE!

No, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you, we really did find a Paul Bunyan sized Chinese food take out container in Indianapolis. Oh yes… we did 😀

Rachael and Patrick… high fives to trusting your photographers 😀

Love.

Oh hi pretty light… nice of you to join us! 😀

Yes, sometimes Andie McDowell (you know, from Groundhog Day with Bill Murray) refers to herself as Rachael so that her hordes of fans leave her alone.  In all seriousness… doesn’t she look JUST like her?!

FREAKING LOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS!!!!!!! It’s my favorite ❗

I wish fall were everyday. Man oh man, that’s deep.

There weren’t many fall colors left by the time we shot these… so any bit we could find… we made happen 😀

Symmetrical… in a non-symmetrical way 😉
