The Broyles Family: making dreams come true.

Just so the whole world knows my feet are swollen with water and it feels like I'm walking on huge blisters. Yeah for pregnancy!!!! Other than that our little family is enjoying summer and anxiously awaiting the arrival of our mysterious baby. A boy, a girl???? I can't wait to see! Being around other pregnant women makes me feel a million emotions. I met Jocelyn at Brooke & Brent's wedding and she got us excited about having a natural delivery. Some may think I'm crazy but yes my amazing husband will be coaching me through a drug free labor and I owe a ton of that to Jocelyn and her enthusiasm. She gave birth to Emma and Josiah at home and in a about a week she and Jonathan will be welcoming their third gorgeous child to the world!

We had such a great afternoon hanging out with the Broyles family. Emma and Josiah are amazing kids and they play together so well! I would have to say the highlight of my day was hearing Jocelyn say, "This is a dream come true to have professional photos taken of our family." I asked her if that means that I make our clients dreams come true? The moral of this story is that Matt & I make our clients dreams come true so if you have a photographic dream give us a call and we'll hook you up! :)

Enjoy...

I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST!

Outside with Benji.

So, I rarely take photos that aren't of people. I dislike this about myself but I do truly love capturing human interaction and the beauty I find there. I am trying to stretch myself in other photographic areas. My brother Ben just got a new camera for graduation. He's brilliant. (I'm biased I'm sure but I don't care I still feel that way.) Anyhoo, I love to talk and pretend I have wisdom to share so we took out our cameras and had some fun. Once I got started I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could have shot plants all afternoon! I was shocked!!

I enjoy and appreciate all of my time spent with my brothers. I am blessed.

Long-armed self protraits are not my strong suit. But this blog serves as a journal for our work as well as our personal lives. I don't ever want to forget my time spent with friends and family :)

Ross & Kelly: ENGAGED!!

Ross and Kelly are amazing and they're getting married at one of our favorite private residences! We also share a love for the fantabulous city of Portland!! Ross and Kelly are committed and ready for marriage. We hung out at McClain's in downtown Fullerton where they shared their first date and then headed over to the beautiful Arboretum. During our time spent together we heard an awesome story from Ross. Some girl at a camp far, far from home and long, long ago wanted to kiss him. Ross being as thoughtful as he is pondered the idea and decided that his first kiss would be more than a fun moment with a stranger. Rather than the traditional promise ring Ross started to wear an anklet that has since been wrapped SEVERAL times with tape to hold it together. It will be ceremonially cut at the wedding but that first kiss was saved for his wife to be. Can you imagine how special Kelly must feel to know that Ross' lips have only touched hers!!! I love our clients. They remind Matt and I how to cherish each other.

Ross & Kelly we are sooo looking forward to your wedding. Thanks for loving each other and making our job ridiculously easy :)
