Hello hello hello and WELCOME to the new Sami Renee Photography!!!! :) I am SO glad you are here. Grab a cup of coffee (or chai tea..or Mcdonald’s Coke..) and have fun looking around! There are all sorts of images and fun things waiting :) Obviously I imported my old blog to this site as well, so if you have been on the blog previously, feel free to search your name to see how your images WOW on this bad boy!!! It’s my favorite :)

While I’m sure you’re eager to explore the site, there is one person I’d like to give a huge shout-out to that I didn’t mention in my post yesterday. While the ladies behind my logo and head shots made this process so so fun and pretty, and my friends and family who offered their opinions throughout the design process were such a huge help, I really want to thank my #1 fan and encourager: my husband Chris!(engagement photos by Jamie Sangar)

He has spent many nights helping me choose between fonts and colors and images, he has put up with my sometimes way-too-frequently website design evenings, he has encouraged me when I doubt myself, he has given me wisdom with finance / purchasing options, he has made me giggle when I’m way too stressed out, and he has supported me to dream BIG!!! I love that he’s always up for an adventure, and I am so thankful to have him as my best friend and husband for life. #YOMO <<< I’m pretty sure only Chris will get this, but if you guess it too, comment below and maybe I’ll give you an additional entry too :P Haha!!!

To celebrate today and to thank you ALL for the love and support you have given me along the way, I am so excited to give away two of my favorite things :) Starbucks always has a special place in my heart (and it’s the #1 meeting spot most new brides pick!!), and I couldn’t help but buy one of these awesome prints by RepeteLove as soon as I saw it!!! I photographed Rebecca’s engagement session back in May at OU and was so excited to see that she owned her own business too! She is a Cleveland girl as well, and I always love supporting local businesses :) One lucky winner will receive both — the perfect start for any morning as we enter into Fall :) All you need to do is enter below by completing one (or all!!) of the entry options! The giveaway will be open all week while I’m on vacation, so get to it :P a Rafflecopter giveaway
And, just to show you one more gem from last weekend’s BEAUTIFUL vow renewal… Yeah. I’m obsessed too :) Be on the lookout for this whole session to hit the blog next Wednesday — you won’t want to miss it!!!

Thank you again — from the very bottom of my heart! I am so grateful for each & every one of you who takes the time to read my thoughts and follow my sessions. Your kind words of encouragement, facebook messages, and texts mean the world to me, and I am forever thankful!!! Now, have fun clicking around! Leave some comments, share on Facebook, share && follow on Instagram :) Woohoo!! 

Happy Friday!!!!

Love love love,

Sami
