Amber and Chad are one of those couples that truly were made for one another. I am a fan unique and fun and this amazing couple has it all… their theme was  AMAZINGly unique and fun and the venue was perfect for a steam punk theme! One of my favorite things about this wedding was a line from Dr. Seuss that was weaved into their vows:

“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

I am so thankful to have had the chance to be a part of their quirky, amazing and special day. I wish them happiness in their “mutual weirdness”… :D

I love being inspired, and WOW oh WOW am I inspired by this couple! A.j and Elisa are such amazing and beautiful people… who compliment each other PERFECTLY. Their shoot really reminded me of the importance of laughter and cherishing the time you spend with the one you love. I left this photo-shoot exhilarated, having witnessed the happiness and PUR joy that these two felt just being together. I even called my hubby after the shoot just to tell him I loved him (even though I was only 5 minutes from home), and made sure to give him an extra long hug when I got there!
“Distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold. It’s for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It’s for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don’t see it nearly enough…”  ~Author Unknown~

Living in separate cities and having our own lives keeps us (anyone) busy and seeing how much Olivia has grown in the last 6 months really brings me back to the importance of cherishing EVERY moment we live, because we are never the same person twice. This is why I feel so blessed to capture life’s precious moments!

I think it’s such an awesome location and have been dying to shoot there for awhile… I got the perfect chance when my sister Kerri asked me to take some shots of her and her girls!!! We had such a great time and the weather was perfect (maybe a little cold for the girl’s at times, but they were all troopers)!

I am super excited with the outcome from these shots (not only was the red barn a beautiful back drop.. but my sister and nieces are simply GORGEOUS)

Here are a few of my faves from the shoot!

Thanks

Just before Christmas my mom called to ask me to take some shots of my two nieces as a Christmas surprise for my sister, Kerri… and of course I was happy to do so! So we sent Kerri out for the day and my mom got the girls ready, and we took some awesome, super fun shots… AND… Kerri was none the wiser (RIGHT KERRI!!!!!)

HOWEVER… my little peyty peyt is 6 years old and loves to tell her mom everything she does in a day.. including a super exciting, wonderful photo-shoot with Auntie Barb!!! :) … oh well.. we tried…

Here are a few shots from the shoot… obviously, as you can see, these two are simply made to be in front of the lens!!!! What beautiful nieces I have… I am such a lucky and proud Auntie…

Thanks

Barb
