Robyn & David: MARRIED!

We get the opportunity to work with people who are in love. But people in love can be SO different. Everyone speaks a different "love language" if you will. Robyn and David are intentional. They love each other with joy but with seriousness. This is not to say they don't laugh and have a great time, they definitely do. But, they pour energy into making sure the other person is shown love and respect. I think this is something you have to work at. If Robyn and David have to work at it you can't tell. They make it seem effortless. I know I'm rambling a bit but I feel so blessed to glean unspoken relationship wisdom from our clients. I get to watch and learn.I tend to let laundry, vacuuming, Charlotte, work, emails and all the other stuff get in between me loving my husband the way he needs to be loved. Sometimes it feels like I'm trying to make googly eyes at him from across the room and everything is blocking my view. I want to learn to run across the room and get so close to his face that nothing can get in the way of me seeing him.
(*note: this does not mean I will neglect my new daughter :)

Robyn & David thank you for reminding me to be intentional. We loved being a part of your wedding day. We love even more your hearts. You are both dedicated to using your gifts for service and we can't wait to hear about your new life in a new place. Look out Utah, here some the Clintons!! :)

Bree & Brad: ENGAGED!!

As I type I am watching my little girl sit in her little recliner-bouncy-vibrating seat-thingy. Her limbs NEVER stop moving! She's like a hamster in a wheel. Her little legs brush past each other so quickly I'm afraid she will spark a living room fire with the sheer friction caused by her tiny feet. I admit it is difficult to run a business with a new baby. I feel like finding a balance will be a constant battle for me. But if I step outside of myself for a second I remember that there are lots of moms & dads that have to say goodbye to their precious babies everyday for at least 8 hours or even worse they serve our country and have to say goodbye for months! So, all things considered I have an incredbly sweet deal. So, what it's tricky. At least I get to watch my baby grow (even if it does mean less beauty rest:)

Enough about us, Bree & Brad are romantic and sweet in all the right ways. When we have the privilege of capturing "the look" through our cameras we go away from our shoot on a cloud of happiness. Brad and Bree give each other "the look" all the time. Their look says a million things to me through my lens. It says, I will always take care of you, I will fight for you and defend you and I will always be here with a hug to comfort you. Bree & Brad, life will throw a lot at you and sometimes it will be easier to pout in your own corner and lean out. Take some advice from two people still figuring out how to love each other. When life gets hard walk away from your corner, cuddle on a couch together and lean in.

We can't wait for your wedding ;)

Blake: Awesome!!

Blake called us to take some personal portraits that really expressed his personality and interests. We said "of course" and had such a great time. Blake is such a rad guy. I loved his outfits and his personal "flair". I think Matt did an amazing job, I'm so proud of his art. I loved looking through these images and I hope you will too!
