Wedding Weekend

Our families had two big weddings in May- both on the same day!  So the girls and I went to my cousin Landon and Hannah’s wedding and the boys went to Tim and Rachel’s wedding (Daniel’s step sister).  It was unanimous that both events and couples were beautiful!  It was fun to get to have that time with our families, and the kids loved getting to dance and have wedding cake!

My pictures from Hannah and Landon’s wedding-

I loved watching the girls at the wedding.  It was just like they were experiencing a fairy tale.

me and mom

I’m sure that Daniel did not have as many picture-taking opportunities running around after Max, but here are some that he sent me from Rachel and Tim’s wedding.  It looks like Max had a great time!

Emmy’s End-of-the-Year Little Gym Finale

Emmy really enjoyed her gymnastics class at The Little Gym.  She seems to be a natural athlete and really excelled in this class.  Here are some pictures and video from the last day of class!

Close Up Workshop – My Models

I was a featured speaker and shared my approach to children’s photography with group of ladies at the Close Up Workshop in Knoxville a couple weeks ago.  My girls were models in their absolutely stunning Polkadaisies outfits.  I was busy trying to teach and help the other ladies there so I didn’t get to just go crazy taking pictures of them like I wished I could.  The props were amazing!  But, I was happy with the ones I was able to get.  They are good models, I think!

Easter Portraits 2013 by Mom

I am proud of myself for getting the kids’ Easter pictures taken before Easter this year (Unlike last year!!!)  Max was rotten, as usual for pictures, but we were successful in spite of his antics!  We used a trip to the Ponderosa Zoo and tatoos for bribery for good behavior.  Of course, Max doesn’t quite get that yet.

I love my babies.  I thank God for them every day.

Here’s a mommy quote that I read recently and loved-

“No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you.  After all, you’re the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside.”

I try to show them and tell them.  I can only hope that one day they will understand how much I love them.

My angels-
