H Wedding Candids

Even though I wasn't snapping away for the actual wedding, I did manage to get some really cute candid shots of the girls getting ready and then some odds and ins throughout the evening. Here is a quick sneak peek.







battery is about to die on my mobile hot spot, more when we reach KC. And good news-POWER IS BACK ON!

The power is on and we are unpacked, kids down and laundry going so back to blogging I go. Here are a few more pictures for your viewing pleasure.
















The S Family


What an amazingly sweet family. They graciously hosted the wedding at their home yesterday and while we had some down time, we were able to get in a few family pictures. Thanks for being such sweet hosts and welcoming us all into your home.






Welcome To The Family

Yesterday was the day-my sister got remarried and our family grew by two, Rob and his very sweet little girl, Lauren. The wedding was small but pretty perfect, in my eyes. Black and white with a touch of red and so very tastefully done. You would have never known that this wedding was planned in less than a month and although my sister did a lot of the planning, she was surrounded by an amazing group of girlfriends. Each girlfriend brought something special to the day and without them, the day wouldn't have gone off as perfectly as it did. I didn't take many pictures of the wedding since someone else graciously took charge of that but I did get to take some fun pictures of the kiddos.

To my new family members, Rob and Lauren, welcome to this crazy but very loving family. We are so blessed that you have came into our lives and we look forward to making many new memories with each of you. To my sister, you looked stunning and I am so happy to see you this happy. To my Brett, Leah and Blake, you guys did an amazing job supporting your mommy, you all make me so proud! To Kaden, thank you for sitting so still on my lap during the ceremony and not embarrassing me :0)

J & R

This morning I had the special treat of getting to shoot my sister and her soon-to-be hubby, which I guess would make him my soon-to-be brother-in-law… We had a little bit of time before heading over and celebrating my grandpa's 80th birthday so we took to my parent's playground. As we moved from location to location my personal assistant (thanks dad) lugged the blankets, camera bag, and the step stool. You see, I am a whopping 5'4'' and trying to shoot someone or in this case, two someones who are 5'11 plus, is pretty difficult. We lucked out when a neighbor of my dad's had a beautiful white fence, water fountains, and even a swing-Thanks Larry for the use of your house and yard too! Can't really call this much of a sneak peek since we edited and pulled out our favorites together. Can't wait for the wedding!!





About Me

I am a wife and a mother to two of the cutest boys on Earth, Kaden OLIVER and Logan BECKETT.  Over the last year I have developed a passion for photography and I haven't been able to put my camera down. What started as just trying to capture my boys turned into so much more and has been one of the most fulfilling and rewarding additions to my life.  A few fun facts about me-I have had a HUGE crush on Mark McGrath for what seems like forever. I love a good yellow cake with milk chocolate icing. I am TOTALLY addicted to PINTEREST. And I can't start my day without a Sonic Iced Tea, seriously, I should buy stock in them.
