Ben

is ONE already!! When his mom asked if we could come take his one year pictures along with some family pictures, I said yes, with one stipulation, we wouldn't call it Ben's one year pictures, we would just call it family pictures! Why? Well, because I just couldn't believe he was already turning ONE!!! I just couldn't bring myself to believe it!

I couldn't have expressed my disbelief any better myself little Ben!

All of you out there in blog reader land, please tell me I'm not alone and that you almost spit whatever you were drinking all over your computer screen when you saw that picture!

A little fly time with daddy....


I love, love, love this picture so much! Why? Because it's not only a picture of Ben, but a picture of Ben AND his Lady friend!

Oh...sorry, did that come out wrong? It's Ben and his dog friend NAMED Lady! :)

Ben - My oh my, where has the time gone?!?! You are such a sweet and goofy little guy! I know your big brother will teach you well! Your mouth and tongue are so expressive and crack me up! We are so lucky to be a part of your life and capture these little moments of you!

Sisters

These sisters are going to surprise their parents with these images and I was so excited that we got to be a part of the big surprise! I'm told there will be tears involved!! YES!!! I have been given permission to post the sneak peak, but if you've happened across this blog and you know these sisters' parents....zip your lips! Mum is the word....they haven't let the cat out of the bag yet. :)

These sisters were called the popsicle princesses by their dad and they wanted to re-create the image before Jessica went off to eastern Iowa for work and Brianna goes out-of-state to college. How fun is that?!?! Here is the original image taken out the scrapbook....


Here's a fun re-creation! Oh yes, we took lots of pictures with the popsicles before they all melted, but I very much love this one!


The funniest part of the popsicles was when one of them bluntly said she remembered them tasting so much better when they were little. Isn't that the truth?!?!? Why is it that some things as adults just don't quite seem the same as they did when we were little?!?!

Sister LOVE....such fun!!


Jessica, Brianna, Katie and Cory - Thank you so much for inviting us to be a part of this special surprise! We are so excited to hear all about the reaction! You guys were so much fun and we loved how involved you got with coming with ideas too! YEAH! Can't wait to get your entire gallery for you to view!

Ella

Little Ella was a fresh 9 days old when I was able to capture these adorable images of her!


Can you even believe that head of hair??? Good heavens, I was in love!


Ella was such a sleepy little girl! Once she fell asleep, she was totally oblivious to me and I had TONS of fun with her! Don't you just want to snuggle up with her?


Ahhhhhh!!! What's not to fall in love with about this image....the eyes, the hair, the sweet face!


To see a few more images of Ella, you can visit our facebook page here.

Ella - Welcome to the world!! You are one sweet and teeny tiny little girl! I loved every second of my time with you and can't wait to see you again with your big brother!

Deena and Josh {married}

Deena and Josh were married on such a perfect and beautiful day! We loved being a part of their day and had so much fun hanging out with them, their dog!!!!, family and friends!



I started out at the salon with Deena...


While Eric hung out with Josh...


Hello sparkles!! These are the heels Deena wore...


It wasn't long before we got to meet Jez, their sweet, sweet little pup! Jez has the longest name possible. No, I'm not joking. :) When they registered him, there were all those little spaces for letters....so they used them all. Yes, I made them say his full name a lot because I just liked hearing it...I couldn't help but laugh.


Love, love, love this capture of Deena and her dad hugging while Josh smiles on...


Then there was the candy table that was nothing short of complete awesomeness! Seriously, it brought me back to my childhood. Everything that I fully indulged in as a kid was there...Pixy Stix, Pop Rocks, ZOTZ! Seriously, do you remember ZOTZ??!?! I had totally forgotten about them until I saw them sitting there, they brought a huge smile to my face!


Complete with adorable labels!


This image of their first dance totally sums up Deena and Josh. That look on their face is the look they had all day. They are completely, madly and deeply in love with each other and it was such an honor to be able to capture their story for them.


Deena and Josh - You two are a complete delight! We knew after your engagement session that your wedding was going to ROCK....and it did! We loved every second we were with you and capturing every little moment. Thank you for inviting us to your wedding!
