Stress Relief

This past week has been so crazy. My sister Julie is doing better than we expected but she definitely has a long road ahead of her with chemo, radiation, and raising three little ones. I want to help as much as I possibly can, but I also realize that there is only so much that I can do. So instead of stressing out about all the things I feel like I SHOULD be doing- I'm editing photos :) Yesterday I spent most of the morning taking some pictures of Julie with her latest addition, Zadie Madison. I don't have much experience photographing one-month-old babies, but I have to admit I like having so many pictures of this adorable baby!

Whirlwind

The past few days have been a little crazy. On Thursday morning I got a phone call from my parents saying that they were on their way home from their vacation in Maine because my older sister was in the hospital. I had a hard time understanding what they were saying so I immediately called my little sister Lauren after hanging up with them. Laure confirmed that Julie was in the hospital and we learned soon after that she would be having surgery to remove a large tumor from the left side of her brain. Needless to say, all of us Grahams decided to head towards Columbus so we could be together and help take care of the little Z's. Friday morning Julie had her surgery and we were informed that they removed the entire tumor- which turned out to be the size of a man's fist! The doctor told us that although they were very happy with the results of the surgery, they felt like this might be the "first of many battles". All we can do now is wait for the pathology reports to come back so we can all figure out what the next few steps will be. For now we are all praying and doing all we can to take care of the Lovegroves. Please keep our family in your prayers as we go through this journey!

New Blog!

I have decided to move my main page for my photography business. I will continue to use my former page www.elisabethphotography.webs.com for a little while (until I use up all my business cards!!) and then I will be moving all of my content to my new page www.furlongphotography.blogspot.com

In the meantime, please continue to check both pages for updates and new photos! :)

Success!

After many weeks of getting ready and looking up photo inspiration and making a billion lists I can finally say that I have shot my first solo wedding and it was a success! I was so happy that I got to be a part of this special couple's big day. They were so great to work with and I really had a great time. This weekend I am parked in front of the computer editing their photos, so here is a sample.  (And no, I didn't mess up while editing these photos- her dress was pink!!)   :)
