Clay+Staci::Married

I am so behind in posting this summer's fabulous weddings. :( Between weddings, maternity sessions, bridals, engagements, album design, chasing a two year old around, and making some serious life decisions with my hubby (he quit his job :) Yay!!!)...I just haven't had time to keep my blog updated. I will try to go back and blog the sessions and weddings I have missed but in the mean time here are just a few fun images from Staci & Clay's wedding on the 5th. Staci & Clay have been a blast to work with. I'll see you guys in a couple of weeks at Keely's wedding! Peace+Love.
A few details...

Yummy!!!

Some grainy flairy fun...

Vacation::Biltmore Estate

More pictures from my recent vacation to the Biltmore Estate with Ella, my mom, sisters, and nephew. Click here to see my previous post about my trip. I have TONS of pictures and might share more soon so check back! Peace+Love.

Silly car-ride pictures. :)




Ella at the Biltmore Estate farm yard. This little girl LOVES animals so much she didn't know what to do with herself here. She introduced herself to the horse and it proceeded to try and lick her face off with it's ginormous tongue. She laughed and said, "Silly horsey". She held a baby chick and was so excited she looked like she was in a trance. Haha...I love my Ella!


The farm made her sleepy.

The front door of the Biltmore House. This place is HUGE!

There are statues all over the estate. I am always amazed at the great condition they are in...especially being well over 100 years old.





We let the kids throw goldfish crackers in the reflecting pools for the fish. I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to do that though. :)

Ella+Daddy=My Loves

I love these two people more than words could ever express. God has blessed me with such an amazingly beautiful family inside and out. I love my Ella's little soul and my husband's heart. Just wanted to share...

I took these tonight right before Ella's bath and bedtime. She was being super sweet to her Daddy...and a little silly too. :) I just threw a few grainy oldschool edits on them for aesthetic purposes. The second one was inspired by an old photo I have of my mom & dad when they were teenagers. It's an old polaroid that has yellowed and cracked with age. I love it though!
Peace+Love.

The Howard Family

I haven't had the chance to do many family sessions lately due to wedding season. I did get a few family sessions booked before the craziness set in. So when the Howard family's session was coming up I was really looking forward to a change of pace. Editing weddings can be all-consuming and a little daunting...so any distraction from that is a good one at times! I had fun with this family (as I do with all of my families). I guess you could say I just really love my job. Wade was a super cutie and had some of the funniest expressions throughout our time together. My favorites from this session are the last 5 images. This series of images was shot in about 5 seconds and each showed a completely different expression...too funny! Enjoy these photos from the Howard family's session. Oh, and I'll be posting more images from my trip very soon! Peace+Love.

Staci::Bride

Well, Staci & Clay are now hitched! They got married in Vega last night and had a gorgeous wedding and killer reception (complete with 6 kegs). Courtney 2nd shot this one with me and we had a blast as usual. We shot for something like 10 hours and didn't get home until 1:30. I can't wait to share images from the wedding! In the mean time enjoy a few images from Staci's bridals. I have had so much fun with Staci and her family...they have been so great to work with. I am really looking forward to Keely's (Staci's older sister) wedding in August. Peace+Love!
