Knowing

She sat anxiously in the chair at the salon and confessed her nervousness about the coming day. "But I know beyond a doubt he's the one for me."

Lauren's parents have an amazing yard! It was perfect for some beautiful outdoor shots. These three cuties are her nieces.

Robert, Lauren's first baby is dressed for the occasion.

Lauren and Anders exchanged gifts before the ceremony. Included in her gift was the reciept Anders had saved from their first date.

The processional begins.I love Anders' look as he first sees his bride.

Her mom's view.

I love this picture of their first kiss. Justin did such a good job of showing so many people's views.

Lauren and Anders, you are made for each other. It's wonderful knowing that you are with the one God intended for you. It's wonderful knowing you are loved. It's wonderful knowing that you have an eternity to express your love.

Lauren and Anders we look forward to showing you the rest of your pictures when you return from your honeymoon!!!

Diana

Diana is SO cute! As an aspiring photographer, she had the perfect place all planned out. She had some great spots already scouted, and she comes here all the time with her friends to practice taking pictures.
Diana, thanks for showing me your 'special place'. I LOVED all of the cool spots we found, and here are just a few of my favorites. Can't wait to show you the rest this week!

Blessed.

I am so blessed to have the most wonderful grandparents. Ever. I have a thousand memories with them, and look forward to each time we get together creating more. My grandparents live right next to a horse farm, so we always grab apples and head on over to visit our friends.

After the horse farm, we packed up all five of the kiddos and headed to Steak and Shake, a favorite old stomping ground of ours. When I was in college, my grandpa used to call me and let me know when they came out with a new dessert. We would make plans to split it that weekend when we came to visit. We always took chocolate malts to go, and Grandma, Justin and I would sip them while we watched the latest horror movie she had acquired. It was so fun to be able to come back years later with our kids in tow.


Nate and Faith, the best of buddies.

AH, the sugar is kicking in!

At the end, Grandpa generously got out a bunch of quarters and let each child choose a candy. It was my boys first time getting to do this, and they thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Thanks for a wonderful day, Grandpa! Can't wait to come and visit you in Texas!
