Cheryl May....Halberg!!!!

Just a little under a month ago I got married to a wonderful, handsome and talented man named Tim Halberg!! I am so excited to be called his wife! For the first few weeks we kept looking at each other and saying things like "your my husband!! so weird!"... weird in a good way though that is :). So, I am no longer Cheryl Knowlton, but now proudly go by Cheryl Halberg! :) Although it's a bit frustrating that my legal name has yet to change, so whenever I bank I still use my old last name :(. That will all change soon though hopefully! :)

My wedding day was absolutely surreal!! Seriously, it is hard to explain, but it was as though everything just unfolded before my eyes as though I was simply a spectator. And yet, I felt very attunned as to what was supposed to happen when and how, and who was supposed to be where. I tried to soak in every moment, knowing that it would fly by so fast! In the end, I really had such a blast, experienced more emotions than I knew what to do with in one day, and am absolutely blessed to be living with the man of my dreams who I dearly love!

Unfortunately I have no images to show you since I spent my entire day in front of the camera! But here are a few links for you to check out some images that came from that day:

Jordan's Photo Session!

Recently I photographed Jordan for her 4 month photo session! I had a blast! She's a beautiful child, I can't wait to take more pictures of her throughout her first year!

Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation

A little while ago I had the privilege of meeting Linda Armstrong-Kelley, Lance Armstrong's mother! Linda is an incredible woman! She has been through so much, raised Lance, has authored her book "No Mountain High Enough: Raising Lance, Raising Me", and now inspires others through public speaking!

The Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation put on a benefit and silent auction with Linda as the guest speaker. I was lucky enough to be able to photograph the event for them and donate my services as a silent auction item. It was truly an honor for me to have the chance to give to an organization with such an awesome dedication to helping families of children who are battling cancer. I can only hope to be able to give more in the future!

Chalk4Peace

This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph an event put on by Arts Alive! a creativity center dedicated to teaching and inspirting young children and adults through the arts!

It was a fun day filled with face painting, chalk drawings, singing and dancing! Here are a few of my favorite images from that day. To see a slideshow click here

Twin's Photo Shoot

Okay, so it has been a while since my last post! I never realized how much being engaged would consume my life!

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph these two sweet girls and their little cousin. It was so much fun, and such an honor!

I'm Engaged!!!

Last night I was swept off my feet! My incredible boyfriend... now fiancé! :).... Proposed! Aw man, I can't tell you how excited I am! I know you are all probably dieing to hear the story... but I am on my way out of town for my nephew's birthday, so I don't have much time right now :(. But soon Tim and I will put together the whole story, with pictures and everything, for all of you!

For now here is one image just after I said Yes!!

Yosemite!

Yosemite was breathtaking! I never cease to be amazed by God's artistry and handiwork there! Here are a few of my images from that trip.

Knapps Castle!

Recently I took a trip up to Knapps Castle with a few other photographer friends! We had a blast shooting away at the ruins left in this place. Here are some of my images from that day.
