I'm baaaaaaaaack.

Well, if you didn't know I got married exactly 13 days ago today! Oh what an amazing week. I promise to share all the fun details and even hit up on some pre-planning stuff in the next few weeks but for now I'm just going to blog about some random things. I'm a little rusty at this blogging thing so bear with me as I get back into the swing of things. 


First up, some of our fantastic engagement pictures that Joel & Kara from Carter Photography took. (I'm trying to be patient about seeing our wedding pics but looking at these gives me ants in the pants. So excited!) Check out more of their phenomenal work here. 

Gotta love Winstead's.

Love to grow

How great is this idea… such a fab way to get everyone involved and participate in our union of LUURRRVVVVVVVVVE. 

I worry I'd probably kill the plant though... But anyway, do you love these pictures? ME too! Check out this awesome husband and wife duo of photographers. Gorg. Oh and if you are creative you could enter this sweet contest to get them to come to your wedding and *shoot* your special day! Love it. 

Swoon.

Brooklyn Bridge Lovefest!

Brody, Jenny, Maddox & Lena

My boss is really awesome. No, I am not just saying that because she reads my blog (Hi Jenny!) though it probably doesn't hurt. Since she's so awesome and everything; she of course has an awesome family too. Duh. 

Don't believe me? Well, see the awesomeness for yourself. :)

Aren't they a good-looking bunch? Yep.

Poor Brody. Lena was jealous of Maddox and jumped ship onto Mom's lap. Brody said he's used to it. Ha.

I call this "The TV Trance". Still freaking adorable when they are watching the tele though.

Lena being Lena. She definitely takes after her momma. 

It's Cookie Time! They may or may not have been bribed at this point. 

Oh and I can't forget Stevie! Woof. 

Thanks to Jenny & Brody for letting me take a few shots. Can't wait for it to get warmer to take some more! xo

P is for photo

How great are these pics! True to themselves and oh so adorable! 

And can we drool over her GORGEOUS necklace!? Such an unexpected and fabulous addition.

Back attack

I loooooove the back of her dress. Featured on Grey Likes Weddings.

Cuteness

Look at this cool dude. 

Sooooo flippin' cute. That's all. Bye-bye.

Fall walkin'.

Nater and I went for a nice walk on Saturday afternoon and we snapped some pics before I had to go shoot Francie & Luke. Just thought I'd share cause I know how much you like looking at pictures. 

Right?… I can't hear you….. That's what I thought. Get ready for your eyeballs to be dazzled with a whole lotta fall.

Beautiful day for a fall walk.

He likes to take pictures too and makes me love him so :)

Picturesque. 

(Do you see the lady waiting at the stop sign with her dogs? Cute.)

Nater took the camera for a bit… Fall leaves.

I like this pic he took. It's got a very calming feeling… :)

Goober.

Check out my (very messy) attempt at the fishtail braid.

Purrrrty leafffs. 

I looooooooovvvvveee fall and you are very welcome.

Francie & Luke

This brother and sister duo were a hoot and a half! Luke was startled by Nater (go figure) while Francie bounced from here to there in a matter of seconds.

I couldn't agree more when my dear friend Kate told me I captured their "spirits" in these pics.

There were very few and far between with them both together as Francie loves to move but there were plenty of beautiful moments to make up for that a little bit!

I absolutely love this one! Aww...

Her red bows and red lips. Precious.

Nater suggested we take some pics on the steps and I couldn't be more glad he did... I knew I kept him around for something! Ha.

Enjoying the fall leaves!

How cute are Luke's socks!

She plopped herself down in front of me and struck this pose! Perfect.

Big blue eyes and a smile. Looooove.

Big thanks to Sarah and Josh for letting me capture the spirit of their beautiful blessings. xo

Fall, Sadie and Nater

I decided to take everything I love and wrap it up with a big glittery bow and give it to myself by taking a few pictures of Sadie and Nater amongst the beautiful fall leaves. I love fall when the leaves turn those gorgeous colors of deep red and vibrant yellows and oranges.

Nater was giggling about how Sadie looks like a little person.

The greatest watchdog if I ever seen one.

 Reflecting on life.

So cute. They even decided to match for their photo-shoot! 

Flower power
