Melting {Childhood Photography}

Being the children of a photographer, my boys have a keen sense of my camera.  They instinctually know exactly when I reach for it and they react accordingly.  Usually, Hayden runs for the hills and Colton will give me some sort of Captain Jack-ish pirate smile (think one eye closed and a sideways grin).  I have to be incredibly selective on the times that I want to do a serious shoot with them.  I can't do it too often, or I wear out my welcome.  Somehow, by the grace of God, this week I was able to get several good shots of them.  One was sort of unplanned and the other was, but who cares!  I love having photos of my precious babies.  I want to remember them this way, because they will not stay here for long!  Seriously...are they not so handsome???  I think so at least!  They make my heart happier than they will ever know!

PROJECT 52 - Week #7 & #8 {Boys Will Be Boys}

I am a week behind, so I have a couple shots from today that I will post to catch myself up.  How precious are my sweet boys???  We went to Noah's Ark Animal Rehabilitation Center today to visit with some Lions and Tigers and Bears (oh my!).  Here are a couple of shots I got before we met up with our friends.

100 Layer Cake {Wedding Resources}

Todays' weddings are so stylized, leaving no detail left unaddressed.  Just looking at your girlfirend's wedding pics may give you a touch of early onset anxiety!  I'm already married, but I find myself thinking about orgaizing and creating all of those little details and...........

Yep, there it is.  The panicy, flustered feeling that is only fueled by websites like Pinterest and Photography blogs.  The sites often display these beautifully executed weddings, but rarely do they show the mere mortal how to pull off a super-human fete.  100 Layer Cake is a breath of fresh air!  There are a ton of DIY resources and ideas that can help you to pull it together, all while on a wallet friendly budget.  Brides, or future brides, you should certainly check it out!

Lovely, Lovely {Wedding Photography}

Last fall, I received a last minute call from another photographer, the incredibly talented Lindsay Evans from Lindsay Evans Photography.  She asked if I could second shoot a wedding...the very next day.  Of course, I said yes!  And so began my wedding photography insanity.  I learned so much that day and am grateful for the time Lindsay spent showing me the ropes.  You can and should check her work out HERE.  Below are some of the shots that I took, and that Lindsay so graciously allowed me to have for my portfolio.  This wedding was absolutely stunning and I hope you can see that in these images.

PROJECT 52 - Week #6 {Boys Will Be Boys}

I HAD to share photos of the birthday cards I received from Kevin and the boys.  They were just too funny not to!

The first card was picked out by my sweet Hayden, for he and his brother to give me.  He told me... "Well, you favorite animal is a monkey (?) and you love  princesses (I do).  So this card was perfect!"  That is true...it was just perfect!!!

The second was from my husband.  My nickname is "Boobie" (long story), and this was as close as he could get with a card.  He does make me laugh!  It's one of my favorite things about him!!!

PROJECT 52 - Week #5 {Boys Will Be Boys}

This week, I decided to share a little bit about the eating habits of my little guys.  Hayden has always loved fruit!  He will pretty much eat anything we give him.  Colt, on the other hand, is a bit more picky.  I'll just let his photo speak for itself!

Hayden's Favorite Fruit



At least it's green...right???
