Update

Alright lovely blog friends --
I feel like I owe it to you to post an update. The new website is not FULLY functioning yet, so I am having to wait for the big reveal. It's actually probably only a "big reveal" for me, but I'll pretend that everyone else is waiting on the edges of their seats as well.
I'm still taking pictures and I'm super eager to make a few new posts from sessions I've done but I'm trying to hold out to post them to the new site. The thing is, that's just the problem. The photos on the new site are still uploading skewed and, well, I know nothing about making a website function correctly. The good news is that I have a few technologically-savvy friends who have offered to help out, so we'll see how that goes.

In other news, I can't fully extend my right arm. No worries -- I might have just slept on it funny.

Thank you for your patience! New pictures are coming soon, but until then, here are some teasers to hold you over:





Happy Tuesday!

Wedding, Nick and Carrie

Two things in this post: 1) This will be the last post on this photoblog because I am about to unveil an ooooooooooooooooooooficial photography website next week that I have been tinkering with for-ev-er. Huzzah! It's about time, right?

2) Cousin Carrie's wedding!
Last month I went to a wedding as a guest. I can't even REMEMBER the last time I was just a guest at a wedding! That being said, there was no. way. in. the. world. I was going to that wedding without my camera. Not happening. So here are some shots I got throughout the course of the evening -- from a family perspective.

Carrie got married to Nick in the backyard of her parent's house where she grew up and the entire wedding was entirely heartfelt, genuine and sincere. They have such a sweet story, and I just could not be more thrilled for them.

We'll start with a lovely picture of my mother before the ceremony began.




Carrie and Nick used a typewriter for their guestbook -- how fun!

The theme for the wedding was trees -- trees on the invitations, the guestbook, programs, and on the ground. Everything about the wedding fit together as perfectly as a dream.


They got married under a tree that Carrie used to climb as a child




My Mommer and Aunt Fran fauning over pictures :)


Husband! He's so handsome!!






Quite often the things James says solicit faces like this . . . and it's ok!




It was entirely heart-warming to see the way that Nick and Carrie looked at each other. Complete adoration.



Mother-daughter moment




Meet my family. They're just really concerned for whatever was in my Aunt Joan's teeth.



My mom and two of her cousins -- typical stances.













A good flower girl just ought to twirl all the time, but that's just my opinion.

Engagement, Amy and Caleb

Meet Amy and Caleb.
Remember in the sneak peek I did of this shoot I said that I had no favorite picture because I liked them all? Well can you BLAME me? These two people are so fun to look at!! (And photograph, for that matter.) Each of their interactions with each other are so precious to watch and I am ecSTATIC that I got to have a front row seat to their lovelyness.











Oh yes, and did I mention that Amy used to model. Oh yeah. She used to model.










Fierce.








l-o-v-e.









Most. favorite. picture. of Amy. ever. (Granted, I have not seen every picture ever taken of Amy, so take that into consideration.)








Thank you, Caleb and Amy, for being so wonderful together.
