Glad that you all had fun. Thanks for shareing the pictures.

Kerri how does your feet feel now? I got to get me one of those foot things cause I could use one of those with all the running I do.

Skunkabilly - June 30, 2008 - 11:43 AM

At first I thought…aww how sad she sprained both her ankles and is icing both of them.

But what the heck are you all doing???

slmret - June 30, 2008 - 11:55 AM

That’s a wonderful shot of Charlotte — and it looks as if you all had a great time!

lydellphoto - June 30, 2008 - 2:01 PM

@Borelfoto - let me tell ya that sugar scrub ROCKS!!! My legs never felt silkier! The things we do for beauty!

@MJ10554 - Yes, Mark would have loved having his feet soaking but you know guys dont do that kind of stuff! Too bad for them, eh?

@portiajules - Hi Charlotte! I bet this vacation went by way too fast. We cant believe you have come and gone already!. What fun it was having you here. It was a great night!

@robinmichelini - Hey Robin! I am SO GLAD you came too!!! Its fun to just do something other than talk shop! A good pampering can do wonders! I cant wait to get that sugar scrub! Thanks for coming and you are welcome for the photo I dont know who took it. But you are even more beautiful than the photograph!

@dimsom - Hahaha your comment made me laugh out loud!! But what is the MOL at the end of your rolling on the floor? We are all curious here! Isnt that the funniest pic??

@Skunkabilly - Ha! we were all soaking our feet making them nice and soft and then we were exfoliating our legs with a sugar scrub taking off all the dead skin cells making our legs nice and smooth. It feels amazing!!!

@slmret - Thanks Janet! I only wish all our Xanga friends could have joined in! Now that would have been a picture!!! All of us with white washcloths over our faces kicked back having a wine spritzer and getting all giggly! Now that is what I call a fun night for the girls!!!

dimsom - June 30, 2008 - 2:32 PM

MOL == Madly Out Loud

mommyfish - June 30, 2008 - 2:41 PM

Great stuff!! I am sooooo jealous!! Kerri, if you ever go to Minnesota, please tell me…we can trek there together maybe. Of course, I won’t have sugary sweet legs like yours, but oh well. Great shot of Charlotte..isn’t she a sweetie?

lastoriafoto - June 30, 2008 - 4:22 PM

ROTFLMOL…. I was wondering the SAME thing!!! Now, I get it! LOL! I’m so excited that you all got together and had such a fantastic time! I would love to meet Charlotte and Robin! And Nancy! I’m so happy for you all. Bob and I will be speaking at TCPPA in Minnesota Sept 8th and then at Graphi Sept 9th, so if you’re traveling out there then, we have to get together!!!! xoxoxxoxo ~ Dawn :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat:

TheLittleGirlInMe - June 30, 2008 - 5:50 PM

well looks like you ladies had a blast! Everyone needs a good spa treatment now and then. Watched the slideshow and it was INCREDIBLE. It was great to see how everyone was so at ease even with the change of plans with the rain. What a beautiful wedding. Hope all is well with you all. Planning on taking the kids to see WALL-E this week sometime. Have a great week. Loves……Kimi

Kelly & Tim were married last month at David Girard Vineyards! When we arrived at David Girard Vineyards that day there was the wildest weather happening… As the afternoon progressed and we realized their gorgeous ceremony setting was going to have to be moved into the reception tent. It poured for the couple of hours while...

backlightphoto - June 29, 2008 - 10:01 PM

Ooooh, love, love, love this image!! They are gonna be soo pleased.

Had a great visit with Janet and Charlotte. We laughed about when Charlotte ever gets married that she won’t have to hire photographers, we’ll just call it the Charlotte Wedding shootout…you know we’ll all be there! LOL.

Hope y’all have fun later this week.

dimsom - June 24, 2008 - 2:31 AM

can’t wait =)

lydellphoto - June 24, 2008 - 12:19 PM

@mommyfish - Hahaha…that is so true! But she will have have the wedding out here unless she has a winter wedding! I am so glad you guys got to meet up. Looking forward to friday night’s Spa Party. I am getting my deck all prepared since my licing room is just not big enough to seat more than 7 comfortably. Wish you and Mary lived closer!!!

@dimsom - It’ll be a while but we have a Tim and Kelly slideshow coming up this week and then Erik and Michelle’s. So stay tuned.

Kerri

Borelfoto - June 24, 2008 - 1:28 PM

I am…. “The Original Wedding Crasher” ha! ha!!:fun::wave:

:goodjob:You guys really did it this time and beat me to the punch by posting so soon! I guess I’m starting to rubb off on ya’ huh?:heartbeat:

That place was packed and from what I saw in just under five minutes was how everyone loved your newlyweds, their faces and the toasts that I listened too were so very dear from the hearts of those there, I sometimes wonder how we as photographers dont get emotional at times, truly wonderful friends and family Danielle and Mike have. Congratulations to them both!!! I can’t wait to see the rest in the weeks to follow.

Randall

lydellphoto - June 24, 2008 - 5:19 PM

@Borelfoto - Ha! You must be! Yes it was crowded when everyone came into the main room for the toasting. Other than that it really was comfortable and fun!

It will be so great to be able to see all the slideshows from our last 5 weddings and then get started on their albums cause I LOVE geting that box from the UPS driver from ITALY!

TheLittleGirlInMe - June 24, 2008 - 9:36 PM

OH MY!!! Took my breath away! LOVED IT! Hey Kerri, I have to tell you something…….I was sitting here at the computer reading about your sweet anniversary dinner the other day and Flory was sitting behind me at the sofa on his laptop. All of a sudden he goes…….OH GOD! Scared me to death! I said, WHAT?? He said………IS THAT KERRI?? I said of course it is…………he said, OH MAN SHE LOOKS AWESOME! SHE HAS LOST SO MUCH WEIGHT! I just thought that was so sweet that he had noticed from your images that you had lost weight and he was blown away! He said you look so young too! Is that weird how weight makes you look old??? You lose some weight you look 10 years younger! Love that. Anywho I really enjoyed the pics of Jayden too……..wow he is growing up so fast and soooooo cute!

You all have an awesome week. Loves to you all! CONGRATS again Kerri for the incredible change you have done to you! You definitely deserve a pat on the back…….

Loves you all!! Kimi

lydellphoto - June 25, 2008 - 7:04 PM

@TheLittleGirlInMe -

Tell Flory he made my day…no…my month! Wow that was so cool to read!!! It is funny how losing weight makes you look younger! There is so much I would love to do to make that even more of a reality. Too scared for facial surgery but wouldn’t mind all the other stuff they do when you have makeover…clothes, facials, etc…

Thanks again for telling me this!!!

Love ya, Kerri

lydellphoto - June 25, 2008 - 7:08 PM

@dimsom -

Me too!! I love it when Mark starts looking for music…It tells me we are close to posting up a slideshow…

@mommyfish -

Nancy, thanks so much…it is always so good to hear when a colleague appreciates a photo! Plus it is awesome I am sure for the brides too!!

TheLittleGirlInMe - June 25, 2008 - 8:21 PM

Hey Kerri, you got to come by and read what happened in Wal Mart today!

Loves ya…………Kimi

lydellphoto - June 26, 2008 - 12:40 AM

@TheLittleGirlInMe - That was just hilarious!!!

christineguthrie - June 27, 2008 - 9:07 PM

Hi Kerri,

This is a great image! I bet Mike and Danielle loved it. Great composition.

Dave’s Birthday!

such cute pictures of a very special day. whew! looking at that themometer in your car made me remember those sweltering summers in Folsom. i sware, as much as i miss california i can honestly say i do not miss the summers! LOL it would get so unbearable and i remember our a/c could never cool off below 80 degrees on those hot days (and our house was brand new so you’d think the a/c could do better than that). i used to get the kids, pile them in my car and head to san fran to fisherman’s wharf to cool off for the day. hahahaha! :lol:

heyheypaula - June 22, 2008 - 3:24 PM

Oh, i loved each frame…So happy it was a special day of memory making…God bless you and your precious family! With much love, paula

Bakedgood75 - June 22, 2008 - 4:19 PM

so glad you guys had fun….I guess Jayden’s new life lesson will be SHARING!! Brian and Kelley will LOVE a few of those I know it!!!

maryhurlbut - June 22, 2008 - 5:27 PM

stinking hot in Laguna too, 105 with humidity. Makes it hard to get ready for our opening at the art show on Tuesday…
so it’s nice to be taking a break with the fan blowing on my back, a nice cold drink and these cute pictures of the little boys

portiajules - June 22, 2008 - 11:39 PM

JAYDEN….SCREAM~~~~~~~~ HE’s SO Big!!!!!!!!! I will call you after i get back from seeing Nancy on Tuesday night…can’t wait to see you…Love, Charlotte

mommyfish - June 23, 2008 - 1:48 AM

First of all, congrats on your 28th anniversary. George and I will celebrate 25 years this coming Saturday..we’re shooting a wedding that day.

106 degrees…egads. Did any lightning strikes affect your area?

I love sprinkles on cake. But tomorrow I’m treating Charlotte to coconut cake from Barbara’s bakery…hehe.

lydellphoto - June 23, 2008 - 3:38 AM

@heyheypaula - Oh thank you Paula!! We have had a hard time being able to celebrate every birthday this year. We always seem to have a wedidng booked on them because so many of our birthdays fall on wedding dates! lol

@Bakedgood75 - I loved watching Jayden interact with Cyrus. I think sharing will come when he has more time to get used to the idea…

@broncomom - Really you guys had it that hot too?? Wow! A fan and a cool drink sounds soo good right now! Just got back from our wedding tonight.Thank God it has cooled off!

@portiajules - Wohoo!!! It is going to be so fun to see you! Okay I’ll be waiting for your call…

@mommyfish - Thank you!!! And the same to you!!! No we didnt but they did up in the Grass Valley area. One of our past brides was a bridesmaid at todays wedding and she lives there and she was telling me that. Oh enjoy that Coconut cake! One of my favorites!!!

kennyahn - June 23, 2008 - 10:49 AM

Happy Birthday Dave!

106 degrees???? What the heck? You think you’re in So Cal or something?

kanipark - July 2, 2008 - 2:28 AM
