Scott and Saprina were married on May 3rd at Eagle Heights Baptist Church. Their ceremony was so meaningful and had me holding back tears the whole time.
I had a great Mother's day today. It started with a delicious breakfast with our neighbors. Then 8 hours and 4 snakes later, I had my mother's day gift......a clean back yard! Nathan and our neighbor Scott worked really hard on it and I can't wait to enjoy our hammock again!
(this picture was from our friend's pirate party last weekend)
I have the best kids in the world (of course) and I love that there's a day every year that helps me remember that. I'm so lucky! They both have a great sense of humor. They're both creative and thoughtful. They were both very quick to wish me a happy day today. It's been a good day!
And last but not least...my mom: This picture says it all for me. One of my recent favorites. This is her a "few" years ago with my uncle Donny. I love you mom!
With the help of good weather, a creative bride and her sister, and some awesome scenery, this was a perfect bridal shoot. Scott and Saprina's wedding was this weekend, and now that their wedding is over, I can show off Saprina's pictures. 
This girl is so creative! She found this old hotel near a beautiful field. The hotel was a little creepy, and I love it!
No worries, we didn't actually go on this person's property....we just went next door to this gorgeous field. 
Saprina, I hope you're enjoying your honeymoon! I can't wait for you to see your wedding pictures!
Stacy and Stephen were married in April at the wonderful Cresent Hotel in Eureka Springs. Even the weather cooperated to make this a perfect day. 
Stacy and Stephen, your wedding was just as beautiful and sweet as your family! Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day.
I'm so in-love with these beautiful people. Saprina and Scott are so genuine. She found this delicious place for their engagement pictures where we enjoyed a warm Sunday afternoon and a bit of a hike!
This first picture is one of my favorites. You can see how sincere Scott is. Aren't they lovely together!
If you look closely, you can see the shape of a heart on this huge tree. Perfect!
Scott and Saprina, thank you so much for a wonderful time. Your happiness is contagious and uplifting. I can't wait for your wedding!!!!
Last week I was invited to Jim and Emily's fabulous and cozy home for a belly session. Emily is a beautiful glowing mommy-to-be if I've ever seen one. 
This home had some amazing places for shooting, and I think we took advantage of most of them. The rest, we'll save for when baby Ben is actually here. 
These last two pictures are my favorite from the day. This first one reminds me a little of the picture at the end of "The Family Stone."
And although we planned this picture, I got the feeling that this could easily be a scene from their everyday life. (that's Molly in the corner. She's beautiful!)
Thanks so much Jim and Emily. I can't wait to meet your wonderful baby!
We've been a little busy lately. Sometimes I feel like I'm becoming a cliche of the "busy soccer mom", but that's okay with me most days. This past weekend we celebrated Nathan's birthday with another busy day including a visit to meet our new nephew, a soccer game, a baby shower, and finally games in the Man-loft at his sister's house. He was a little over dramatic with blowing out all ONE candle that I had for his cake.
Seth...enjoying the birthday bash.
Sunday morning, Jacob said, "Can today just not be a big day, and we can just stay home and play outside or something?"
We thought that was a good idea. Nathan hung a hammock up for us and we had a very 'not-big' day. Jacob was too busy collecting rocks to be in any pictures, but soon, it will be his turn to shine.
Last week I met Matt and Sara at UofA for their engagement shoot. They were a lot of fun, but I realized how out-of-shape I really am when my legs hurt the next day from all of our walking. Aren't they adorable?
Thanks Matt and Sara for a great day. You're so cute, and I can't wait for your wedding!
