So now that I’ve outed myself as a huge Star Wars fan, I have no problem sharing a few photos from our recent family (myself, husband, and son) trip to Orlando for Star Wars Celebration V.

If you’re not familiar with the Star Wars Celebrations, I’m a little lost as to how to accurately describe them to you. Basically, it’s an official event for everything related to Star Wars–stuff created by fans for fans. Everything you can think of is there–people in costumes, bands, parties, events, lectures, a kid’s play room…the list is endless. They hold celebrations every few years, so if you have a fellow Star Wars nerd in your life, I’d keep tabs on it!



Anna and Josh are the COOLEST. Not in comparison to anyone or anything like that, but they are just great people to be around. These two are getting married in a court house ceremony this month, and we couldn’t be happier for them!

Anna and Josh met at the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, and since Josh still works there, we were able to get in to shoot their engagement session! I need to pause here and mention that Ashley loves space, and I love Star Wars, and the Space and Rocket Center is currently playing host to a huge Star Wars exhibition, so, armed with all of this knowledge, you might be able to imagine how incredibly stoked we were upon entry. Maybe.

Anyway! Back to the stars of the day. We met early in the morning and traipsed around the complex in good spirits. Josh told us little stories about the various happenings at the center as we meandered between rockets and people and spaceships. We visited the Davidson Center and oohed and aahed, snapped some gorgeous photos of this gorgeous couple, and then journeyed back into the main center to complete our day. We (very) happily bumped into a few members of the 501st Legion (Stormtroopers and Sand people!), and then concluded our day outside the Imax theater, which is where Anna and Josh’s romance all began!






If you’re on our Facebook page at all, you’ve already seen a few shots of me with Star Wars characters, but just in case you don’t — we like to have fun during our sessions, too. ;)
