IT'S A.....

Well, we had a wonderful time at our 4D appointment! It was amazing! One of the best experiences I have ever had. I would encourage anyone to get a 4D at around 20 weeks. It was so amazing to see the baby moving around and feel it at the same time!! And there was no denying..............we're having a boy!!!! Below are a few of my favorite pictures we got to bring home with us. We got printed pictures from both the 2D and the 4D, and we got a CD-ROM full of images and also a DVD to watch! Sooooo cool!!








We are going to try to get a little bit of the DVD posted in a little while. Right now, though, I am going shopping! :)

Baby Goss Update

I know....I know..... This update is looong overdue, and I apologize. I have been just a little busy lately taking care of my fabulous clients and also trying to take a little care of myself. :) Here is the scoop.....

We had an ultrasound just before we left for Denver before Christmas, and we had high hopes of finding out the gender of the baby. Jeremy and I would have loved to surprised our parents with the gender at Christmas. But, alas, our little peanut was breech and very shy. While we couldn't see anything below our baby's belly, we did get all of the important measurements needed, and little peanut is measuring ahead of schedule. Hmmmmm.....

Here are a couple of pictures we got to bring home. I love the baby's big "buddha" belly! :) hehe!




More scoop..... the baby has been kicking and moving around like crazy lately! Sometimes I could almost swear there are more than one in there! haha! Jeremy even got to feel a few kicks the other night. It was so exciting! My belly has also doubled in size since I last posted a picture of myself. I am going to try to post a new picture tomorrow to share with you guys!

And speaking of tomorrow......Jeremy and I have a 4D ultrasound scheduled tomorrow afternoon! We are so excited! I don't know if I'll be able to get any sleep tonight. We are crossing our fingers in hopes that the baby will cooperate and give us a clear view between those legs! My wonderful friend Jill is just one week behind me in her pregnancy. That's right - our due dates are within a week of each other! She and her husband found out on Tuesday that they are expecting a little boy!! :) So congratulations to them. They have been thinking "boy" the entire pregnancy. Jeremy and I have been thinking "girl" our entire pregnancy. We really do not care what the gender is as long as the baby is healthy, but we have both had dreams that the baby was a girl. Everyone else seems to think Baby Goss is a boy. We will hopefully find out tomorrow if our intuition is right!

Check back tomorrow for the announcement!!!! :) I will more than likely post it sometime tomorrow evening because if I leave the office knowing the baby's gender I will be going on a little shopping spree! ;) I think baby and I both deserve it.

Everyone have a wonderful day!!!

TIFFANY & AARON - NEWLYWEDS

You may remember images from Tiffany and Aaron's fabulous fall-themed wedding from back in October. You may also remember that their groomsmen played a pretty crude little prank as they were leaving their reception and dumped flour, birdseed all over them and sprayed them down with shaving cream..... Due to this nice surprise, we did not get to shoot the pictures of the two of them alone as we had planned. Sarah and I met up with them while we were already down South preparing to shoot Erin and Nathan's wedding. I really thought they deserved to have some great pictures of just the two of them to add to their wedding album. I think we got some great ones!






Sarah and I are heading to Northwest Arkansas for a wedding this weekend. It is sure to be a great one!! Everyone have a great weekend!!

SARAH'S PERSPECTIVE

I promised to post more images from Nathan and Erin's wedding from Sarah's perspective, and here they are! I am so proud of Sarah and the amazing work she always does at each wedding. It is wonderful shooting with her. She and I work seamlessly together, and that is why I am so very proud to officially announce that Sarah will be booking her own weddings from this summer on as an associate photographer for Crystal Goss Photography!!! :) More information will be posted on the website soon along with a new gallery to display Sarah's awesome work!

Just a FEW of my favorite moments that Sarah captured throughout Erin and Nathan's day....





I love Nathan's grin!



Oh so cute!


I absolutely love the expressions in this shot!!


Sarah got some great shots of the ceremony from upstairs while I stayed down on the floor.



Sarah's creative view of the cake....


A few fun shots from the reception....

ERIN & NATHAN

Sarah and I drove down to Magnolia a few weeks ago to shoot Erin and Nathan's wedding. This was a very special wedding for me. Erin and I graduated from high school together almost 7 years ago. She and I danced together, cheered together, and were involved in many of the same clubs and organizations, and it was a pleasure for me to shoot her wedding! Not only did I enjoy getting to shoot her wedding, but I also had a great time seeing so many other classmates that were there. It was a bit like an early reunion. Such a blast!! And a beautiful wedding!

The day began at a local salon. All of the girls spent the entire afternoon hanging out and getting a little pampered. Everyone got their hair, nails, and makeup done. It was definitely girl-time....topped off with a GREAT mixed CD and yummy chocolate brownies!



Everyone got a great laugh watching these two bridesmaids trying to open the bottle of champagne! So funny!






The ring....


I love this candid shot of Nathan getting ready. There is no telling what he was laughing at! He and his boys were a riot! :)


Erin getting her gown on....


Erin and Nathan chose to see each other before the ceremony and take all of their posed pictures beforehand. I love it when couples chose to do it this way. The day always goes so much smoother, the couple is relaxed during the ceremony, and they get to enjoy their entire reception. AND, I get great images like these....






The fun wedding party....


Erin's father giving her away....


The Kiss...


The fantastic cake! The details were amazing!


The first dance....



Erin's dance with her father....


How low can you go?! Everyone had such an awesome time at the reception. The band was simply amazing!


Here is the very talented Sarah in action. She seriously is a rockstar, and I loved soooo many of the images she got from this wedding. I loved them so much, in fact, that sometime tomorrow I will be posting a very special post of just her images! :) And a little exciting news.....so check back soon!

WHITNEY'S BRIDALS

I met up with Whitney and her mother earlier this week to shoot her bridals. We had so much fun! Whitney is definitely a fun-loving girl, and she was up for anything - even shooting in a strapless gown.....outside.....in January!! :) What a trooper!!! I absolutely cannot wait for her wedding at the Pratt Place Barn in Fayetteville in March.
