Here's to 2011! =)

PS - We'd love to know who all checks in our blog! Are you someone who checks in occasionally, when we're featuring pictures of someone you know? Are you a self-admitted blog stalker? Do you swing by when we announce a new post on facebook? Also, what picture is your favorite? We'd love to know what styles you guys dig the most! Leave a comment and let us know or just say hey! =) We like that too!

I'm definitely a blog stalker, I look multiple times a week, and sometimes multiple times a day if you have done a session with my family or me. Your pictures are always AMAZING !!!!! One of my favorite pictures you did was of Adrienne and Jerry's engagement session where they are running towards each other. My other favorite is the butterfly shadow on my belly. Can't wait to see Aldrik's photos! Of course we will be using you for documenting our little guy grow.

We absolutely LOVE getting a call/e-mail from past clients who are starting a new phase in life and need some pictures to show for it! That's one of our favorite parts of this job - seeing families grow. =)

Ryan and Amber are expecting a little boy in a couple weeks and they invited us out to the farm where they got married for a quick little frosty (it snowed that week and was super cold out so we didn't hang outside long) maternity session. We just love these two. They are so kind and laid back... you just feel comfortable with them. I couldn't be more excited for them. They are going to make great parents for sure. Can't wait to meet the little guy!

P.S. - Amber still looks great!

Here are just a few of our favorite blog shots from the past year. I look back through these and am nothing if not extremely happy that we've met and became friends with SO many amazing people just this year alone.

Can you feel the love?!


Thank you for an AMAZING 2010. Wow.

Stay tuned for our favorite kid/family shots.

Dad:

Believe me when I say, that as blessed as Dac and you were to have met these couples and to have captured their special day, they were just as blessed to have met you and Dac and to have been the ones to capture their new beginnings. I am so in awe and so proud of you both.

Deb H:

I love your wedding shots!! My favorite of these would be hard to pic, but the engagement shot of Josh looking down at Laci who is thinking, ahhhh- THIS is where I belong! brings tears. Thank you for all the ways you help our family record the moments and here is to moments yet to come!!

(01.27.11)
Alisha:

Thank you! And you are very welcome!! We truly loved being a part of it all. =)

Last month we headed over to Joplin, MO for a beautiful pre-Christmas wedding. Andrea and I had exchanged some phone calls and lots of e-mails, and we had even met her sweet parents at Shannon and Shawn's wedding back in August. However, I hadn't met Andrea face to face yet, I didn't even know what she looked like! When we got to the church that morning, we started walking down a hall to find everyone. We passed a couple girls, then this smiley, energetic girl came towards us and I just knew it had to be Andrea. It was!! And I knew within a minute that I was going to reeeeeaally like this girl. =)

Sure enough! Andrea is a real go-getter and took charge of her big day. Not in a mean, bossy way at all... but rather, with assertiveness and calm. She's as nice as can be and her direction helped the day move so smoothly. When we met Ty, I thought, "what a perfect match". They just seem to "fit". He's a super nice guy too!

The ceremony was very sweet. There were lots of smiles and tears on everyone's part. Andrea's Dad sang... are you kidding me?!? How did he do that?!? It was great. The church was also beautifully decorated for Christmas. Why not take advantage of that!? Great idea.

Afterward, they had a simple, perfect reception with a homemade cookie bar (complete with adorable labels), a hot drink bar with hot chocolate, coffee, cider, and all the toppin's. (On that note, let me interject. When I hear the word "toppin's", I can't help but remember Miss Congeniality. You know the line.... no? Sandra Bullock takes pizza into the gym where all the contestants are working out. Of course, she starts digging in while the girls drooling. Miss Rhode Island sweetly says "at least scrape off the toppin's" before all the girls devour the pizza. Guess you had to be there... anyway, enough of that... back to the wedding.)

Like I was saying, the reception was the perfect winter treat! I'm so glad we got to know these two. They were wonderful to work with and so were all of their families and friends! We truly had a great time.

Several weeks ago, our good friend Joy called and asked if we could take pictures of her family while she and her youngest sister were home for the holidays. Of course we agreed! =) You see, Joy's parents own a ranch and her dad has decided to retire. BUT, before they sell the place, the girls thought they needed some family pictures at some of their favorite places on the land. You see, this is more than just a house and some land. It's even more than just their home. It's been a major part of their family for years. Their livelihood. Their culture.

So, we set out on a super cold and windy day to make it happen. The ranch. was. beautiful. I hadn't been there before and I'm sure it's even nicer in any other season but winter, but still. Anyway, cold temperatures aside, we had such a great time! Their family is the epitome of kind. They were so nice and welcoming and just all around good people that are fun to be around. We also enjoyed the extra chance to hang out with Tarl and Joy too.

A quick glance at some of the shots we got:
