Emily and Tony...Finally!

I've been waiting for this one. I took Emily and Tony's Engagement pictures last year and had such a blast. The wedding was just the same.  I just have to say that I LOVE the way that Tony treats Emily...such a gentleman.  He was so attentive to all of her needs. She was so tender with him.    They were both a bit teary-eyed as they saw each other for the first time before the ceremony.   We had plenty of time to get everything done...including going downtown.

The weather was a typical Indiana day...unpredictable.  It rained on and off all day and it was super windy.  Luckily it was somewhat warm and Emily was up for anything (my fav).  

Here are just a few of my favorites!

Here it is! It was so hard to narrow down the pictures for a slideshow, especially since there were two ceremonies! I love Indian music, so enjoy dancing to this one as you watch it :o)

Push the play button in the bottom left hand corner...you made need to press the pause button right away while it loads (there are a lot of pics).

Levi Turns Two Too!!!

side note:  This is me at my Aunt's house on my 4th or 5th birthday.  She always made me the best birthday cakes and custom clothes...she would even make a matching dress for my Cabbage Patch kids...seriously...she is that awesome!  Love you Aunt Bev!

I love taking pictures at birthday parties! The lighting is usually horrible, I don't get super artsy, but I do love the memories that I capture of the day. Especially, when the kiddies are so little. I always love looking back at the pictures my Dad took at my parties. So here are some pics of some of my favorite people in the world. Friends of integrity, service and love. Their little Levi is so precious. Plus, there were TONS of balloons! My kids were going crazy with all of the fun. What a fantastic idea! Love you guys!

BALLOON FIGHT!!!!

Beautiful Sweet Cousin!

Will and Finn Turn 2!!!

My great friend, Amie, wrote the following poem for her twin boys.  As you read, think about a young mom, who happens to sound a bit lit Drew Berrymore,  and the struggles/adventures a mama has with little ones...

take 2 and call me in the morning

not 1

but 2

always 2

2 babies into 2 boys

2 years to mark the passage of the days

you've grown up and out 

and i have grown in 

to a mother

2 ways to show

your love and to show your displeasure

we dance and laugh

you read and write

and eat all of your dinner

and watch with bright blue eyes

the world around you

and the other

your head with less hair fits perfectly

into the corner of my neck 

the way you stomp your feet

when you are pleased

and say nigh nigh when the

day is done

makes me want 

to do it all over again

we are good and bad

moments i wish i could pick up and put

into a box

to take out later

later i will laugh

because now i am mad and busy and preoccupied

with getting through the day

such is the way with 2

but 2 is better than 1

there is no other way

for me

but with 2

i love you both in 

ways i cannot say

i am you and you are me and

i need you and you need me and

i am a mother for 2 years today

and i am blessed

happy 

birthday 

boys

Check out one of Amie's super cool tables.  She and her mom have a booth at Midland Arts and Antiques...they're superbad...like the kind of decorators that people should hire!


I love the "stealer" in this picture :o)


Amie's laugh is contagious! 

Leah + Kiran + Flying Rice = FUN FUN FUN

What a day! Leah and Kiran decided to create a spectacular day by having not one, but two, ceremonies to honor the traditions in their lives. They had a Hindu ceremony in the morning and then a Christian ceremony in the evening. Both were at the amazing Scottish Rite. Leah has such an eye for detail. I could NOT have pulled this off without the help of 2 extra shooters. Morgan and Geno (833-5008) totally rocked it. Here's sneak peek. I'll have a slide show with more details shortly!
