Finally, well almost

Gmail is finally rolling out IMAP!

Google Blog

This is a must have, especially with all the emailing I do from the iPhone now! You get an email in Mail and reply and it doesn't sync with the iPhone, and then later you check the web and have all new mails, and it's a mess to try and keep up with. Which is why, if you ever get an email days later, that I thought I had already replied to, but didn't you'll know why.



They have this service with other companies that runs about $10 a month and adding another $10 a month fee to the ever growing long list of $10 a month fees is like beating your head against the wall, not very fun. So of course with Google, it's free! Just like my Blog, just like my email (ok the MX Record part of it). I have to pay for the domains, but every site I have is using the Google Apps for free to handle my Phone, Calendar, Email, Docs, Spreadsheets, etc.... Why? Because I want access no matter where I am!

Now for the almost part, mine isn't showing up yet but it's supposed to be coming!

Want free Google Stuff? Go Get it!

Blogger (get a blog)
Google Apps
Google Phone Service (GrandCentral)
All the google stuff you could ever want...

Jeff & Kati's Wedding at Trophy Club

Jeff & Kati had a lovely wedding the day after my daughter was born, hence the reason it is taking so long to get stuff on the blog... They were married at the Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Colleyville and then moved over to the Trophy Club for their reception. I didn't realize it until the wedding day but Jeff and I actually worked together during college at the same grocery store.

Here's one of Kati getting ready...

We had a little time before the ceremony so we did some more paint with light.


Some lovely details...

One of the little ring bearers showing some teeth...

I loved this one of the flower girl during mass.

and this little guy just had way to much mass.

We had some time between the ceremony and reception so we dodged golf balls for a little while with a little wash out look

and then some of the happy couple and the bright blue sky

on the other side of the course we had some more vivid light and clouds where the sun was starting to fall

a nice candid moment from the prayer

of course some more detail of the bling

and I love being able to spot stuff like this, I caught this as she ran to mom about her tooth falling out, then later on in the night Dad said did you get a picture of her now that her tooth came out and I was able to say I got the tooth in hand!

and I have to find the card from this DJ, he was great! Starting handing out headdresses, fireman hats, sailer hats, etc. during YMCA.

and during AC/DC, he handed out blow up guitars, keyboards and saxophones...

and I gave Jeff a hard time about being a Redskin fan, even saying I wouldn't take a picture of his cake because of my strong beliefs, you know the Cowboys! So here is one of his cake, I didn't eat any for fear that it would make me ill or taste like hog or something.... GO COWBOYS!


Hope ya'll had a great time in St. Lucia and enjoy your pics.

Chase & Karyn's Wedding in Arlington/Ft. Worth

Chase & Karyn had a lovely wedding in Arlington and then we headed to Ft. Worth for the reception. Karyn is a graphic designer for NBC, so I knew I had my work cut out for me to impress someone that sees great pictures all the time. It was a great wedding and I think an even better party, I think she told me the party lasted at least until 4am. What bettterway to follow that up than a trip to Vegas? Here's a few pics...

Getting ready...

The guys arrive in a stretched hummer...

More getting ready....

Bling....

The cute little flower girl...

Time to impress with some video light, I think they all dug this one....

Chase's brother making everyone laugh, I loved the video shadow...

Forgot to mention that Karyn is from Kansas, and they happened to get married on the day Texas played Kansas. Of course the guys were rooting for Texas, so I got to use the iPhone as a prop...

The gifts in front of the Ft. Worth Skyline...

Some first dance love...

Jeff & Kati's Engagements in Grapevine

Last week I met Jeff & Kati in Downtown Grapevine for their engagements just as we caught the evening light. Here's a few from their session and I will get some up from their wedding in the next few days.

Catching the evening light.

Down by the trains.

A nice long intimate shadow.

We called this the corny shot, but I love it.

And a nice bounce flash off a shop window helped on this one.

Emily Paige Littrell

Emily made her appearance Friday night at 8:32pm and weighed in at a whopping 8lbs and 1 oz and 20 inches long. She's perfect with 10 & 10 and just precious! It was a long first night and then had a wedding yesterday so, I have some blog catching up to do. If you are waiting to see your pics, I will have them up shortly, for now here's a few iPhone pics of my new baby daughter. I'll have more up soon.
