Raise your hand if you have a wonderful Dad. (or are married to a man who’s a great Dad)
I had a great one. I miss him.
We are nearing the day set aside to celebrate the wonderful fathers in our lives. I would love to capture some sweet moments for you.
The ad says “Dad and kids” but remember, to our Dads we’re always the kids. So, grown up kids you’re not left out here.
I hope you’ll get in touch with me if you’re interested.
It’s been a pretty lazy Saturday. It started with donuts, then a little yard work, then lunch out, then a lovely nap for me and some quiet time for the kiddos. The sweet husband is off serving in his church calling so it’s not such a lazy day for him, but service is a good thing so…
The children were up for a little photo shoot so I took advantage and set up the tripod and the timer to capture the three of us together. It’s a rarity. I’m trying to remedy it.
I hope you are all enjoying your Saturday, whether lazy or super productive.

The handsome groom is my cousin on my dad’s side. I remember when he was born and now he’s a homeowner and married. I’m so happy for these two. They make such a beautiful couple and they are so very well matched. I know they are going to make a wonderful life together.
I didn’t shoot this wedding for the couple, but I was there as a guest and my camera was too so I did shoot this wedding for myself. I couldn’t let my poor camera down, now could I? Also, my little ones were in the wedding so I felt obligated to be that annoying mom snapping away. :-)
Since I did snap, snap I’ll share of few of my snippety snaps with you. enjoy!
Notice all of the awesome handmade decorations. So fabulous. If you’re getting married soon, soon-ish or simply dreaming of the day, take notes! And then give me a call to capture it all for you. ;-)
I give you JOSH and JORDAN. {with quite a few of my little ones in there as well}
This is my baby brother and his beautiful girlfriend, Lauren.
That is my sweet Papa waiting in line for his order from the Taco truck. Isn’t that such a cute idea?!
There you have Josh’s sweet grandmother on his mother’s side having just completed placing her taco order. She seems pleased.
It was a marvelous evening. One my children will be talking about for a while.
When you ask them about their favorite part they’ll probably tell you it was getting to choose their own bottled soda and eating the rock candy wedding favor.
That was pretty awesome!
There’s just something so awesome about seeing a Dad having fun with his kids. Right?
These are just a few from a session I did over the weekend. This awesome Dad agreed to help me out and let me use some of the images with him and his kids for something I’m working on for Father’s day. If you know a father, and I’m betting you do, you should stick around to see what I have up my sleeve. :-) It’ll be ready for you to see in a week or so.
To unwind this evening I had a date with my mac and more of Baby J’s images. I got a little carried away…

{cuddles}
{conversations with a newborn}
{the details}
{baby sneeze}
{proud mama}
{totally in love}
Remember this?
Take a look at this.
He’s here!
Meet sweet Baby J. He’s just a little over a week old and as sweet as can be. I pretty much told his mother I was coming to take his pictures. Didn’t really even ask her if it was ok. We’re friends so I can do that. :-)
Every other time I’ve been around this little one he’s been asleep. Not today, though. He was awake and wiggly.
Don’t you just love the wrinkles?!

His nursery is so cute. I’ll share some more shots of that later on.
I find myself getting restless and needing changes quite often. Even a small change/improvement in my environment makes me feel better. I rearrange my desk frequently, even the placement of the desk itself. I organize and reorganize my closet. I change the layout of the furniture in my children’s rooms. I feel I’m constantly searching for a better way to do things. This need for improvement makes it hard for me to leave this blog alone and free from weekly changes especially as I’m starting out and trying to find my niche. One minor change I’ve been wanting to do for a while is to make a new watermark for my photographs. Last night, I decided to just go ahead and give myself a little satisfaction by creating a new one. I added the {.com} so you’ll know exactly where to find me. I feel better now.
