Marcus and Lynae - Wedding!

Yesterday I had the privilege of photographing Marcus and Lynae's wedding. I took their engagement photos last fall and got to know this sweet couple a little better. I love weddings because of all of the love shared on those special days and yesterday was no exception. These two have the nicest, sweetest families and you can tell they are so loved by SO many. I had a great time watching Lynae with her siblings (you know me...always a sucker for a tight-knit sibling set!), tearing up during the family prayer portion of the ceremony, and listening to Marcus compliment Lynae OVER and OVER to everyone....all day. He is definitely a man in love.

Thanks for letting me a part of your special day....hope you all enjoy your preview!

I love watching parents on their kids' wedding days. I teared up multiple times yesterday thinking about Jane's wedding day someday. :)

Congrats again, Marcus and Lynae!

Emme - One Year!

So a few days ago I blogged about my brother-in-law Alan getting engaged. Well, originally on that fateful day I was supposed to take Mary and Tony's daughter, Emme's, birthday pictures. With the snow, the engagement, all of that, it got rescheduled. Earlier this week we were able to find a day that worked and squeeze in some pictures. Let me tell you, I can't wait for Jane to walk and move and all of that...but babies that move are exhausting! And hard to photograph! I have so many pictures of Emme scooting away from me! Haha! But overall I thought they turned out great. Plus, it was fun to get to hang out with my friend Mary (who so nicely held my own baby while I took pictures!). As you can see Emme is a BEAUTIFUL little girl, making my job really easy. :)

Hope you guys enjoy your preview! 

Mary called these next one's "Emme in her natural habitat"...I have a quite a few outtakes of Emme trying to eat the dog's toys or her back scooting away from me as fast as possible.

 

Couldn't decide whether to post the color or b/w version of this next one...so you get to see both!

As we were taking this picture I heard Mary go "Wow, Emme...you are flexible!" Then I snapped the next picture :) 

Midway through the session Emme reallllyyy started working it for the camera!

I know you can see my foot, and Emme is blurry from moving so fast...but I had to post this. If you know Mary...then this picture would definitely tell you that Emme is HER daughter. She reminds me so much of her momma in this pic!
