Not expecting too much last night, I submitted one of my 2009 Weddings to OneWed’s blog to be considered as a Featured Wedding. I was so excited this morning to receive an email back from Azure Nelson, telling me she loved the wedding, couldn’t wait to post it and that it was already live on their blog! Um, what?? I thought to myself with a dumb grin spreading across my face. I was stunned and thrilled all at the same time!
The featured wedding is of Brittany and Derek who were married at Sweet Cheeks Winery in Crow, Oregon this past July. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful, simple, but timeless. I was able to write a little bit about this amazing couple, so I’ll let you read it there! To view our featured wedding, just go to OneWed’s Blog! I would love to hear what you think- this is the very first time I have ever submitted any of our weddings, which also makes this the very first time we’ve ever been published. It’s such an amazing feeling and I am just thrilled about it! Special thanks for Brittany and Derek for being pure awesome

A couple weekends ago our family went over the mountain to go to Bend’s Winterfest. We had a few friends and family that were also there, which was a lot of fun! Jeff and I have always enjoyed capturing sporting events, as we are both really into sports! This was our first time snapping pictures of snowboarders, which proved to be absolutely awesome! Now we’re trying to think of how to get our equipment up the mountain to get some snowboarders in action! 
Anyway, here are a few of my favorites from that night! I also made a slideshow with one of my favorite songs- so be sure to check that out, too! Enjoy!!

Okay, I am so stoked to report that our new Vixen Portraits site is up and running! It’s no secret that I am way smitten with Showit Sites! When I changed my Holli True site in the summer of 2008, my business flourished! Having the ability to create a site that reflects your brand and personal style is so empowering.
My goal as a photographer is to set myself apart from others in the area by offering a unique style of photography that is completely my own. I take a lot of pride in my work and I feel that I owe it to my clients to showcase my work in a site that reflects who I am as a photographer. Showit Sites give me the power and freedom to do this, and for that, I cannot say thank you enough.
So, please, feel free to check out the new site. I think it’s pretty fabulous, but I would LOVE to hear what you all think! Don’t be shy- shout it out in a comment or two! Thanks!!

When Jeff and I met Kerry and David, we couldn’t stop smiling. They were so sweet and absolutely adorable together! We had just finished shooting and wedding and went to pick up our kids who had spent the day with their Grammy and Papa, who were camping with a large group from their church. Someone mentioned where we had been and they asked to see a few pictures from the day, so I gladly showed them a few right out of the camera. When they chose us as their photographers, we were thrilled! Their love is so pure and sweet and I just can’t wait to see the look on their faces when they say “I do.”
Their wedding is only in a few short weeks- I am so excited that Kerry and David will kick off our 2010 Wedding Season! Spring is fast approaching and I am itching to get out and enjoy some sunshine and start some of my spring sessions! Don’t forget, I’m currently offer a sale on my Fashionista sessions- space is limited- book today!
Kerry and David, thank you so much for the amazing session at Belknap Springs! It was such a beautiful location and you two totally rocked it out!

Wow! I am in awe at the number of entries we received and the amazing love stories these couples chose to share with us. I absolutely love love, so this contest has been a yummy adventure for me! It took almost all day today for our judges to finally decide on who the winners were going to be. It was so hard for them to decide and without any input from us, it made their job even harder. However, Jeff and I felt it best that we remove ourselves from the judging since we know a few of the couples that entered. So, I won’t make you wait any longer, the winners are:
Here is their love story:
“I met Robert back when I was a junior in high school; we met while on a camping trip to North Fork, OR. He was from another high school visiting friends from our camp site. After a fun night of laughing, dancing and camp fire fun I set off for bed. Before I could leave with my girlfriends, Robert pulled me aside and asked me for my number in which I responded with “hmm…I’m not sure I don’t really know you”. After that we sat and talked for about an hour in the dark about ourselves and what we enjoy. He then asked again for my number, so I grabbed a pen and planned on writing down the wrong number because I still wasn’t quite sure about him, but ended up giving him the right number. He then made sure I had his number by writing his on my forearm. My friends and I left the next day laughing about everything everyone did throughout the night before. I must have made quite impression on Robert, he pursued me for a full year after that by calling me before I would go out with him. After our first date a year later I fell in love almost instantly and we have been together ever since. It must have been serendipity I gave him the correct number that night. We will be 10 years together in June and would love to tie the knot. We are planning to get married this year, but photos and music are a big deal for us and we just don’t have the funds. This last year as well my Father was also diagnosed with cancer so we have put off planning things up until now. I would love for my Father to give me away on my wedding day before it’s too late as well as some photographs to remember it by. This would both be a dream come true not only for my dad but for myself and Robert as well.”
Congratulations Missy & Robert! Jeff and I are so excited for your wedding this June!
Thank you to everyone who entered this giveaway, we are so honored that all of you took the time to enter and share your stories with us. We wish everyone could win because of your stories were so touching and just made us smile. Happy Valentine’s Day!
♥ Jeff & Holli

I received an email from Dessy Group awhile back inviting me to upload my images to their site for their new inspiration board application. What is an inspiration board, you ask? In a nutshell, it’s a collage of fabulous wedding details. At Dessy Group, Bride’s have the option to browse these hot little boards, or create their very own! Isn’t that fabulous? If you’re unsure about your color choices, Pantone Wedding is there to help! See if the colors you’ve selected in your head will translate into the event of your dreams by creating an inspiration board. Trust me, it’s fun! I’ve put together a few boards myself, I hope they leave you feeling inspired!

My body has been taken over by a vicious flu bug. We’ve been fighting for days now and I think I’m losing. 
Boo! The one benefit is that I have been quarantined to the bedroom, it’s been me, my laptop, some editing and I’ve also managed to make it halfway through season two of The Tudors. What else is a sick girl to do? (Can I just say YUMMY to Henry Cavill- who plays Charles Brandon!!)
I promised to get Naomie’s Varsity Vixens/Stars & Stripes post up today- and I am a girl of my word. Sara and I worked with Naomie last month for this new line that is targeted toward our college-aged clients. So far it has been a great success and I know it’s only going to grow from here, which is even more exciting. Here are a handful of my favorite pics from her session, which took place in a studio space for a different look than our normal Vixen Portrait sessions. Enjoy!
