Daylight Savings come back!!

I hate switching back to 'regular' time instead of having 'daylight savings' time. I personally prefer the extra daylight in the evening rather than in the morning. Families usually spend time together at night, not the morning. Plus the darkness really cuts into my time at the park and going on walks with Landon and I don't like that. Now I have to entertain him inside for hours before bedtime when he is used to being outside. Quite the difficult transition for both of us! Here is a picture from the other night at the park when we were about to leave and the sun was almost gone

Congrats, Jill & Ed

Hooray for the happy couple! Jill & Ed had a simple and sweet ceremony in the moonlight as well as an intimate indoor/outdoor reception with live music. Instead of a wedding cake they had cupcakes that so beautifully fit their theme. And one of the sweetest father/daughter things we've seen - Jill's Dad wrote her a song and sang/played it for her there. I saw lots of tears around the room during that  :)

Puppy Love

Over a year ago we had to give away Dobby when we found out we were going to have a baby.  He had been abused and we had tried for a year to work with him to help him but he was still acting out in ways that we knew would not be good with a baby in the house.  Then about 2 months ago we finally went ahead and gave away Lycan.  That was an incredibly hard decision since we had him since we first got married when he was only 4 weeks old and he is the sweetest dog ever.  It was hard for him to not have Dobby here and hard for me to take him on walks with a baby (we live in the city so no yard suitable for him to run.)  So to be fair to him we had to give him the chance to really enjoy life somewhere else.  For the first month my house felt so empty and every day I regretted the decision.  But yesterday I suddenly was able to let go and feel much better about it after seeing a picture of him happy through pics the woman has shared. AND he gets to have another dog as a friend in his new home.

So I say all this to encourage people, that if you have been thinking of getting a new pet, maybe you should consider adopting one from someone who loves their animal but wants a better life for them than they can provide in their current situation.  Don't be afraid to take a chance and maybe meet someone who has an ad online or in the paper, at least set up a meet & greet and see if you click.  I'm sure there are many others out there like me that really don't want to let go of a pet they love and it will help ease the hurt to know that you are loving their animal and making it part of your family.

Landon's First Birthday

Wow I can't believe my baby is already one!  This year has flown by, as so many people have warned me it would.  We have been so incredibly blessed and are so thankful for our baby boy.

Locked Out

At a wedding this weekend everything went great until the very end when we were ready to leave... and discovered that Tiffany locked the keys in the car!  We were over an hour away from home so no easy way to go get an extra set of keys and it was really late at night so it would have been a big fee to have someone come out.  We tried for over an hour to unlock the door with a hanger.  Even the groom, Ed, was so nice to stay and help instead of leaving us stranded :)   Finally when I was exhausted and about to give in and call for help, the bride's father found out what was going on (he had been busy cleaning up, etc) and within 60 seconds had the door unlocked.  I arrived home after 3am to find my husband IN the crib with Landon who woke up and wouldn't calm down until he finally tried that.  I wish I'd have taken a picture of that but since my equipment was packed up and I was so tired I passed up the photo opp in exchange for sleep :)

Valerie & Ed

Happy Engagement!  We really enjoyed our time with this fun loving couple.  They brought along their own props, including their silly little sock monkey.  It was so much fun including him in the day and posing him in all kinds of crazy scenes.  Can't wait for the wedding day when we can include him in a few again!

( Family & Friends can see all the engagement photos HERE )

Jill & Ed

Happy engagement to Jill & Ed!  Thanks to crazy weather we had to keep rescheduling but it was so worth it because we ended up with a gorgeous day complete with a beautiful sunset.  I wish this location was closer to home because they picked an amazing location where we had lots of fun walking around looking for inspiration.  Friends and family that would like to see the rest of the photos, please click HERE

Another beautiful belly

We had another opportunity to photograph the beauty of a pregnant woman.  I just love these kinds of images that really highlight the amazing process of creating a whole new life within.

Jody & Marty

Congratulations to an amazing couple!  It was a hot but beautiful day in an absolutely gorgeous location.  Poor Jody had the heaviest, thickest dress yet wore it like a queen even when we walked all over the place to get photos.  Thanks for allowing us to capture the special moments for you guys... we had a blast!

Family & Friends can view all the photos HERE once Jody & Marty approve them.

Beautiful Belly!

As I so often heard during my own pregnancy, there is just something so, so beautiful about a pregnant woman. Some may disagree with that but, oh the joy of carrying life within!! April is blessed to be currently enjoying this miracle and any day now will be holding that miracle in her arms. I am so excited to meet him!

Julia & Kyle

We are so very excited to share the photos from Julia & Kyle's wedding! It was a beautiful day for pictures. We took advantage of the wind and took some chances in taking furniture outside without asking! There was a lot of love and a lot of fun shared and we are very thankful that we were able to be a part of it all. Congratulations to Julia & Kyle. Enjoy the sneak peek.

Bee Tricks

Ladies & Gentleman, step right up and witness the amazing....

Kenny found this bee on the back porch...apparently...doing a headstand. I had never seen anything quite like this so I just had to capture it on film...er...memory card. :)

Enjoy!

Tiffany

This is when Kenny started playing with him. He wouldn't hardly move or fly away! He didn't seem bothered by it. Back on his HEAD he went!
