Just for Fun| Erin Rachel Photography

So my weekend in Albuquerque was quite a flying trip. I landed on Friday afternoon around 3pm. Got settled into the room, all the while catching up with old friends. We freshened up and headed to the wedding rehearsal. On our way "home" we were "hungry"...you know one of those nights where you're really not hungry but you just want to eat? Yeh...well it was one of those, so we got a quick bite, headed back to the hotel and sat out on the deck laughed, talked, ate, the guys jumped in the pool...
then I headed to bed I knew the next day was going to be Looon-g!
We slept for as long as possible and woke up by the alarm clock- aka not my friend:)
The girls had to be at the church for 9am
and that started the day which didn't end until 5:00ish.
Whew!
It was now time to have fun and relax! I tagged along with the Brownfield Family- such great folks! We ended up eating at the best BBQ place in Albuquerque- ribs that were pretty dangerous...and oh so good. It was a great place, I just don't even know the name of it:-)
Then we headed to Old Town Albuquerque and walked around the town square and wondered in and out of the quaint shops. There were a few of those stores that you walk in and say hmmm this is nothing but junk, turn it around and it's "Made in China"

Once it got dark we headed back to the hotel room...Eden (a bridesmaid in the wedding) and I were so tired...that we ended up staying up til midnight talking:) Good memories!
Sunday morning at 6am my alarm clock woke me up again to get ready to come home:)
My last flight was the best! I ended up seeing and flying home with two great friends. I knew they were in Texas for the weekend but never dreamed I would see them and sit by them on the way home!!!!! Great time to catch up:-)

Anyway just a recap of my weekend...as if you needed all the details!!!!!

Jeremiah | Erin Rachel Photography

I figured I should post again on my blog seeing that the last few posts have been boring!
With school starting back for everyone and my schedule is back to normal teaching, it's been nice to have a week or so that is slow!
I am gearing up for Fall/ Christmas pictures though so keep your eye out for some specials coming soon.
In the meantime last week I was able to spend lots of fun time with my nephew. His mom and dad went to a pastor's conference for a week and we had the fun of keeping him!
I know my mom did most of the work, because I was teaching, so I just got to do the playing part with him, it was still fun! He is growing up so fast!
Photobucket
I love the fact that he is ALL boy!
Loves his
trucks,
tractors,
lawn mowers
and being outside!
Photobucket
Photobucket
He is sooooo busy! Constantly on the move:-)
Photobucket
My favorite here...although he looks half grown!
Such a little man

Then cousin Hannah came over to play!
The end!!!!

Hannah 12 Months | Erin Rachel Photography

Where does the time go?
I can't believe we celebrated a year already with my niece Hannah!
If you ask her "How old is Hannah?" This is the answer:)
Photobucket
We had fun during the shoot but she had been sick the day before so I don't think she was feeling all too good.
She had a few melt downs...which still called for cute pictures
with gorgeous backlighting!!!!
Photobucket
But for the most part she was H-A-P-P-Y
Photobucket
Beautiful family with #2 on the way!!! (Auntie Erin here is excited:-)
Photobucket
I saved the best for last:) This is my favorite! But don't miss the slideshow
with more favorites:) I seriously wish I could tell you the story behind each picture
and why I captured it! As a photographer each picture has it's special story!
