My NIE NIE silent auction is officially closed! Thank you so much to all you fabulous bidders, it made me feel all happy and tickley inside every time I recieved a new bid. 

Congratulations to Mickelle, one generous gal who is forking out $135 for our girl NIE. The girl we have always wished we could be or at least could be best friends with (be honest) or could even be half as fabulous as (tell me I am not alone in this). The girl we have all been thinking of, praying and balloon releasing for (I know I am not alone in this one!).

 thankyouthankyouthankyou! 

So sorry for the rest who missed out, but don't miss out on a feel good opportunity, go on and click "FUNDS FOR NIE" to make a donation or check out design mom to check out any other auctions that may still be open!!

p.s. YOU CAN EXPECT ANOTHER ONE OF THESE FUN AUCTIONS AROUND THE HOLIDAYS TO BENEFIT A VERY SPECIAL BABY BOY. THINK BIG. LIKE FULL SESSION AND A GINORMOUS CANVAS PRINT... more to come. trust me, this will be worth checking back in for...

hello gorgeous...

Needless to say, I am beyond excited for this couple's wedding next month. If it goes half as well as their bridals/groomals, I will be THRILLED! Thanks Ben and Becca for a fabulous evening, you made it so FUN!

Enjoy this couples fun, silly, sweet relationship!

As many of you avid Nie Nie Dialogues readers know, Stephanie and Christian Nielson of Mesa were in a private plane crash on August 16th. They are currently stable, but still critical condition. Stephanie has the worst of it- with severe burns covering 80% of her body she will need to spend months in the hospital recovering while her children live with family in Utah.

Since today is the official NIE NIE DAY I decided to join in on the fund raising fun by auctioning off a family (or baby or engagement- whatever) mini session (that's a 30 minute shoot with the 5 best images on a cd), a $75 value.

The best part? I will schedule the winner whenever they want! no waiting for availability in November like everyone else- Priceless.  To bid, leave a comment with a bid amount RIGHT HERE on this post! The auction will end this SUNDAY AT MIDNIGHT.

I will contact the winner, who can pay up at the Stephanie Nielson Recovery Fund and send me a reciept.

STARTING BID IS ONE DOLLAR!! Happy Bidding!

are. you. kidding me...?

I took Becca and Ben's bridals/groomals tonight, and so far I have about four times as many favorites as I need. I have NOOO idea how I am going to narrow these down!
