Brandon Heath at Quest for Step by Step

Brandon singing his love song, "London".

Okay, So this guy really looks like Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords.  Don't ya think?

So I am not much of a concert junky, but I decided to make this one tonight.  Brandon Heath, the 2008 New Artist of the Year Dove Award winner, was here in Lexington tonight.  He did a benefit for an incredible organization called Step by Step.  Over $8,000 was raised to help out SBS, which is an organization that ministers to single mothers.  It's an awesome group of woman, so check it out!  They are always in need of volunteers for their Thursday night meetings! hint hint

So anyways, we had a great time, and it was one of the few concerts where they don't kick you out if you have a camera.  Good times.  Love to have the camera in hand when I'm not on the job.  Yes, he does look a little Peter Parker-ish (but hey, Peter Parker gets the girl!), but this guy is super down to earth, and his music is all about hope.  Loved it.

Wendy & Bryan Manning Wedding Bells

Well, they say that rain on your wedding day is lucky, so this must of been the luckiest couple ever.  It poured most of the day.  Yes, every photographer's dream.  Not really, but thankfully, we had a wonderful chapel to work in, with lots of light.  Wendy, while a wee bit topsy turvy on the emotions on her special day (but really, who isn't?), was a vision of beauty!  How many times can I say how photogenic she is?!  But really, the whole wedding party was a blast, and we enjoyed the entire day.  And is that a Ricky Bobby pose in the midst of these pics?  Good times, good times....

Time To Get Muddy

Good times with my nephews and a few with Pele, the favorite lab of the family.  Love 'em!

Not a Photo Shoot, Just Excited Homeowners

So I figured I would personalize this a bit, by sharing our crazy excitement over our house-in-progress.  Yes, we are on our way to the world of home improvement and a white picket fence.  Well, maybe not a white picket fence....I was just trying to sound homey.  

Wes and I headed out today to our little lot to see the progress on our house.  Obviously, there was no work being done today.  We had a little snow/ice storm come through Lexington, so all construction was at a standstill.  But eager people that we are, we wanted to see our sticks and slab covered in snow.  We are so excited!  So we took a couple pics to share our joy with all of you.  

Louisville Love with Stephanie and Ryan

Okay, so it's a cheesy title, but I went for the alliteration.  This is Stephanie & Ryan's engagement session in Louisville.  We had such a great time doing this shoot.  It seemed like all of Louisville was asleep, and we had the city to ourselves.  So nice.  We started out at 21c and then headed over to the waterfront.  Stephanie & Ryan are such an easy going couple, which made it so fun to shoot these pics.  The groom is a huge Packers fan, hence the jerseys.  Enjoy!

Insanely Cute Babies and a Canon 5D Mark II

Okay, so all of us Canon nerds, who hold tight and faithful to our brand, have been awaiting the arrival of the new 5D.  Yes, it is pretty stinkin' awesome.  No question about it.  I was on a long waiting list, but just by chance, I happened to get in early, so after being on the shelves for about a week (well, you can't really get them on the shelf right now, because they are all being snatched up far too quickly), I got a call that mine was in.  Of course, I raced to the store to retrieve mine, and have been playing around with it for the past two days.  There are way too many things to learn about this new machine, that I can't give it a review now.  But I can say that it rocks!  I took some pictures of one of my buddy's babies yesterday, and I just can't get enough of looking at these pics. Of course it does help that this little one (Parker), is so stinkin' cute.  Enjoy the cuteness, and if you want to see more, go to the website and listen to the sweet song that goes along with this gallery (www.NinaMullinsPhotography.com).  Miracle Baby.  It might just bring a tear to your eye!

A Season of Change

This season in our lives has been a busy and changing one.  We are experiencing changes in jobs and family.  In a few weeks we could be parents (if this peaks your interest, you can check out our slightly more personal blog "When We Belong" coming up soon).  That's huge.  This photography business gets busier and busier, which is great!  We are building a house, which should be finished in February, which we are extremely excited about.  We go out there every other day, getting excited about new piles of gravel and dirt (if you've ever built a house, you know exactly what I mean).  It is a beautiful and wonderful time in our lives.  So much happening, and it seems so surreal.  

So today, I'm not going to display any photographs (albeit I have plenty to post!).  Just wanted to touch base with those reading and wondering where we have been.  Things are good, and we have much more to come.  So stay tuned, and let us know what is happening in your lives.
