{Baby} Adeline

I photographed Adeline while she was still in her mommy's tummy. She decided to join us in the big girl world a couple weeks ago. So happy I get to photography little angels like Adeline.

Isn't she just darnling?!





She gave me sooo many different looks lol


So precious!





Love this one.





Daddy loves his little girl!











I love how she is sticking her tongue out at me.

{Maternity} Ryan + Lydia + Baby

{Engagement} Oh wait...THIS is my engagement ;)

"She's so young, and he's so perfect. They waited for love and it was worth it. She want's to feel like this for a hundred years.."Francesca Battistelli.

"Once upon a time there was a little girl who saw this boy, and the boy saw her. They fell madly in love"...next thing you know he is on his knee proposing to the girl of his dreams and she replies with "Yess!!!".

That's basically how it happened! Well I guess I didn't mention all the yummy details like how they've been together since she was 15, and the fact that they are each other's best friend. Oh, and the cool little part about how he proposed at Myrtle Beach at sunset, that was kinda a BIG deal too(I love talking about myself in the 3rd person). There's so many details exploding in my mind, but I'll just keep it simple and tell you all the BIG details about "US" and the engagement.

Fun facts about Reed & Lydia:
We love laughing together.
We play thumb war...all the time.
He's beats me at checkers.
He calls me beautiful, I call him handsome. Insert "Awwwww".
We box with each other, he loses though. ;)
He buys me sour patch candy and I'm bad at sharing it. I share with him, just because I love him ALOOOTTTT.
We wink at each other.
We text each other even though we are sitting together.


I got engaged to the man I've always wanted.



This was litterally seconds after he proposed. I wanted everyone to see the joy on my face.




After he proposed we walked down to the pier where fireworks were about to go off. It was soooo magically. I know that sounds cheesy, but it was "FOR REAL" so magical.


Our walk back to the hotel, Ahhh it was the BEST night of my life.


The next morning we got up at sunset and walked on the beach. We were/are sooooo happy!






The bling bling he bought her, oh I mean me.


Then, ya know, once you change your relationship status on facebook to "Engaged" you get all the "Congrats!" "Omgsh!" "No way?" "FOR REAL?"..you get the jift. People were very excited for us. People love us! We love them back. People are awesome. Especially my people!


The wedding planning began. We did the most important thing first. We booked out photographer. You thought I was going to say "we picked a date", didn't you? Nope, we consulted out photographer first then we picked a date. Photography REALLLYYY is the most important part of the wedding, aside from the actually "getting married" part, of course. Melissa Esterline, a good friend/fellow photog did our engagement pictures. We love her! She did 3 seperate sessions just for us. We went with "The Notebook" theme so we had to meet up a few times to fit everything in. She's a darling! Here's some of our pictures from the sessions.

Get ready for some "Awwww"ing.

You ready?!

Ok. Ready set go!

This is one of mt personal favorites! He makes me fly in the sky...SEEE! SEE!











He makes me laugh...SO...hard!


We are silly when we are together. Well its more like "I'm silly and he's mature", but sometimes I get him to be silly with me.


That's us!







:) We are too cool!


Hahahahaha. Makes me laugh EVERYtime. I love his laugh, especially when he's laughing so hard he can't control it.



Awww! (I bet you "Aw"ed?)


This reminds me of "Ann of Green Gables"..where Ann talks to Gilbert over the fence. So sweet!







..and, of course, we had to fit some camera stuff in. I like taking pretty pictures.


He makes me feel soo protected. He my as I call him.


He's pretty much the most handsome thing on planet earth. Yep, thats offical!













He loves me!


I love him!


We really are best friends. We make quite the couple.


Hey Reed, maybe we should be face models. Nah, I think YOU should just be the face model.

His eyes are blue--her favorite color is blue. Her eyes are green--his favorite color is green. :)




The bling bling again.















The wedding is 24 days away!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh. SO. MUCH. EXCITEMENT. stored in my body.

{Wedding} Samuel + Sarah

The wedding celebration started not on Saturday, but Friday. We had the rehearsal and rehersal dinner. It's always a lot of fun when my whole family is involved (lol). But this time is wasn't just my family--Sarah's family made it even more fun! You already know I love photographing weddings, but when your photograph a close siblings wedding it means all the more.

Rehersal- Samuel walked Mom down. Lol. He's always silly!


Sarah's daddy walking her down the aisle.


The little kids in the wedding were so good! I give them a high-five.





Dad being silly lol :P


Then we were off to the rehersal dinner. It was quite yummy!

About 12 hours later I was up and headed to the church, it was about 7:15. I came downstairs to find Samuel writing out his vowels to Sarah. It was quiet- everyone else was still asleep. Samuel and I talkd for a minute. I asked him if he was ready to get married today. HE sure was! I think it was at that moment it really kicked in that my brother was giving his heart to a wonderful women today, and that he would no longer be living with us and staying up late talking to us all the time, but would be giving his love and devotion to Sarah now. It was a bittersweet moment. *tear*



The sunrise was perfect! Made for a beautiful start to the day.



I started out doing the details. Everyone of her details were perfect!





"It's not just a ring, its a symbol of the bond they have together that never ends".. I love that part in the ceremony.


.."its a sign to everyone else that your heart belongs to a certain someone"..


:)





Sarah was getting the dress on! One of the most exciting moments of a wedding I think.


The bride face!!! Soo much excitement





Meanwhile, the boys were getting ready. Mom was pinning on Samuel's flower. Haha, I told you Samuel is ALWAYS being silly.


Samuel and Sarah did their "First Look". She was headed over to see her handesome groom.


:) Let's just say he thought she looked mighty fine.


(We can't forget about the car lol)


We did the guys pictures first, and let me tell ya they were something else lol :P Maybe its beause all the groomsman were either my brother or my Fiance. lol


They loved me once I showed them the glasses I bought special just for them.


(Ok, ok, I admit it. I may have taken advantage of the fact that their all related to me, but hey eveyrone needs some humbling now and then).


Handesome group of guys!


ALL the guys!



They liked these' glasses a little bit better.


Samuel looking dashing and proud he gets to marry his lady today.




A few more funny one of the guys





Then it was time to start with the ladies!


Haha, love this!





Beautiful girls!


It was about 35 degrees out, so needless to say they were cold lol.


Gorgeous bride, Sarah!





The whole gang.





YEAH! That's what I'm talking about.



Sarah + Samuel's turn!


Such a Samuel picture.










LOVE this one!







Pretty!







It was so windy, but we worked with it and it turned out sweeeettt!


You may say I'm bias, but MAN they are one hot couple!


We were all finished! We headed back inside to wait for ceremony time. People were arriving. Familiar faces were seen. Hugs were exchanged. Things were starting to come together so beautifully. It was 1 O'clock....WEDDING TIME.

I love the moments as the daddy walks his little girl down the wedding aisle.


Sarah sang a song for Samuel- it was a suprise though. Samuel didn't know about it! It was so precious.


Exchanging of the rings.


Samuel and Sarah both had wrote out a thankful and read it to their parents. It was pretty hard to hold back the tears then.


I know it mean't alot to my parents and Sarah's parents.




HUSBAND AND WIFE!!!!



The reception was so much fun! Exactly how I knew it would be.



The first dance was simply beautiful! The most precious first dance I've ever seen. Since they had met doing ballroom dancing they choregraphed their own dance.




It was a beautiful symbol of them being one and working together.


And that was that! They were married. My big brother is now a married man!


:) The happy newly-weds


EPIC car decor, don't you think?!


It was finished! The wedding was done, they were off on their honeymoon. I can truly say IT WAS A PERFECT DAY!! Watching them drive off to their honeymoon and their new life together really made me realize how much I love my siblings, and how blessed I am to have them in my life! 13 is a big number, but it's the best! So happy Samuel and Sarah found each other. I never thought I'd approve of any girl that would be good enough for Samuel, but I was wrong because Sarah is perfect for him. Love you both!

{Engagement} Ben + Elizabeth

FRIENDS, I think that is the very best way to start out a relationship between and guy and girl. That's exactly how Elizabeth + Ben started out. They met first at Springhill, a Christian camp, in 2008 where they were co-counselors. They became friends and after camp, they stayed in contact until 2010, and that's when they really saw a spark between them and ben started pursuing her as more then just a friend. Eventually they did start dating and falling more and more in love with each other everyday......As bf/gf and the best of friends!

Hmm, their so cute!










Ben loves how fun and loving Elizabeth is!!!!!!!! Her caring spirit is what he loves most about her though.


Elizabeth loves Ben's laugh and sense of humor. She especially loves how pasionate Ben is about the things he does.






THE PROPOSAL-On October 27, 2011, E went to B's house after work. They sat and talked for a little while before B asked E if she would like to go on a walk. They got in the car and went to Pill Hill park. B told E there was a neat trail that he found while he was mountain biking that he wanted her to see. They started going down the trail and came to a clearing where B said he had to go back to go to the bathroom. E waited for B in the clearing. A couple of minutes later, B's friend, Joe, appeared and set up a table and chair for E to sit at and enjoy cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. E didn't suspect anything was up until she saw Joe. After Joe left, two of the high school guys in B's youth group, Austin and Timothy, came out and played E a song on the guitar. They also brought her 2 roses that B had written notes on. After they played, they set up a boom box and the song, "Look After You", by The Fray started playing. After they left, B appeared in a suit and got down on one knee and asked E to marry him. The rest is history!! (awwww, I'm a sucker for a good love story!!!!).

Ben picked out the ring ALL BY HIMSELF. No help!!!!!! Needless to say Elizabeth LOVES her ring. (I also loved it, he did a great job. it's gorgeous..!)


They were so fun and cute together. I could tell, by just being with them for a little while, that they both passionately love each other.








They both love to Hike and play tennis together, and drink coffee from Caribou Coffee ;). Cooking was also another favorite thing they love doing together. :) Sounds like a perfect couple to me.













Soooo very excited for their wedding in March (shortly after mine!!).

Cherish the moments

Priorites- That's a hard thing to get right sometimes. Life is sooo very busy, and sometimes my priorites get scrambed up a bit. Running a business at 18, planning a WEDDING and honeymoon(still hard to believe), working part-time elsewhere, being the middle child of a family of 13, having a house to decorate, having 3 of my siblings get married in the next year (which I'm either IN the wedding or photographing-some of which I'm doing both) + spending time with my love(Reed), family, and friends, Church. It keeps my life pretty interesting. Making choices everyday on how I will spend my time is a huge deal- whether I buckle down in my chair and EDIT for hours, or spend time on wedding planning, with family, friends, or keeping in shape (lol). Whatever the case maybe, time is so precious. God is really teaching me how to use my time wisely and always putting HIM first NO matter what. Earthly things will pass away, but what you do for God is eternal.

Time- It is something you can never get back. If you spend it foolishly what have you gained, or the better question is what have you lost? Sometimes instead of spending more time that my business needs trying to keep up with the constant changing photography world- I'll spend it sitting downstairs with my family late at night talking, laughing, making fun of each other or even just watching a movie or playing with my litte siblings. Because I won't always have that time with them. Living at home will soon just be a memory. A very wonderful memory, but just a memory non-the-less. Blogging for instance is something that gets pushed back and left out a lot of times, not because I don't LOVE blogging (cuz I DO), but God is teaching me somethings are more important then always having an upated blog.

I'll be married off and moved out of my parents house in 3 months!!!! My last days at home are now. I cherish EVERY single mintue of it. I love coming home and seeing Faithy ( my youngest sister) yell my name and run up and give me a hug. Or Mom asking me how my day was and I reply with my usual "It was fine!" lol. My nosey siblings always asking where I'm going when I walk out the door, or asking me who I'm taking pictures of today (which they never know who they are lol). Sitting in the living room talking with my family at 1 O'clock in the morning about how different life will be in a year when 4 of her child will be married off. I'm going to miss it all!!!! I'll be starting a new chapter of "Lydia's Life" it's called "Married Life". Which I'm so very excited for it, meanwhile, I am enjoying these' last months at home soooo much. *Cherish the moments*


Love,
Lydia

Denny + Constance- Teaser

They are the cutest thing EVER!!! If I only had three words to describe this couple I would say- FUN. Perfect. Passionate. :)

{Engagement} Courtney + Daniel

Daniel and Courtney first met while working at The Monk’s Kitchen. It only took about a year and a half for them to actually begin talking. Finally one day at work they figured out that we were going to the same wedding that weekend. While at the wedding Daniel asked her to dance and he just had a feeling that she would one day be his, that was the beginning of the rest of their lives.
They hadn't realized how much they were in love with each other until he left to go back up to school in the fall of 2008. Daniel, some of his family, and Courtney took him up to school to help him move in, and when they pulled out of the parking lot to go home, leaving Daniel there, THEY BOTH felt like they were was going to fall apart. They had only been dating for around 2 months, but it was terrible! They KNEW they couldn't live without each other!!!!!!!!!!!









Then came the time for Daniel to buy the ring. He walked into the jewelerys knowing exactly what he ring he wanted to buy her. He took her out to her "Favorite" restaurant, Olive Garden, (girl after my own heart). He popped the question and she said 'YES'!





Daniel works at the Red's stadium and they are both HUGE fans!

{Engagement} Jake & Stephani

Their love story is simply adorable!!!!

Jake & Stephani had a gym class and band class together during freshman year of high school. They had a long conversation during a final exam in gym class and found out that they both loved sports and country music! They seemed to really enjoy each other’s company. So, on Valentine’s Day, Jake had a pink carnation sent to Stephani's homeroom (Insert an awwwww). She thought this was the sweetest thing EVER and decided to ask Jake out to the Turnabout dance--Jake agreed to go. After going out to dinner and to the dance, (Which they had a great time of course). However, they ended up drifting apart and didn't talk for awhile after that..(sad face).

A year later, during sophomore year, Jake and Stephani had another band class together. Slowly they started talking again, and Stephani asked Jake if he would drive her to the upcoming band concert. Jake agreed and drove Stephani. They had a great time and shared a lot of laughs. A few weeks after the band concert, Jake asked her out on HER first real date. After he picked her up at home, they bought ice cream at Dairy Queen and went on a drive in the dark. After talking and laughing for awhile, Jake suddenly pulled over on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. She was a little freaked out and wondered what he was doing. Jake switched on his brights and ran out of the car, yelling for her to join him. Scared, but wanting to know what was going on, Stephani got out of the car and followed Jake into complete darkness. Jake had taken her to the fossil beds by Caesar’s Creek! They both ran together to grab a rock as a souvenir (The rocks in the picture). When Jake dropped me off at home later that night, I wrote the date on her rock: 3-27-04. They have been in love ever since. (*Sniff Sniff*, I love a good love story!!!)








Jake picked out the ring himself!


On August 9, 2010, Jake decided that he was going to ask me to marry her. He went to the jeweler's, bought the ring, and went to K-Mart where he tracked down her dad. After asking her dad for Stephani's hand in marriage, her dad said, "Yes." He then picked her up and took her for a drive--something THEY always loved to do.
Around the spot where he took her for their first date, he got out of the car and went on a walk with her. They walked next to the creek and back up the trail. He planned on proposing to her by the overlook of the creek; however, when they got there an older man was sitting there reading! So, Jake decided against proposing there.
After that he took her to the exact place he took her on our first date: the fossil beds. We walked around and ended up sitting on the huge cement dam overlooking the fossil beds.
After sitting and talking for awhile, Jake turned around and got down on one knee and asked her to marry him, and she said "YES!".




They've known each other 7 1/2 years!!!! Their so perfect together!












The rocks we spoke of lol.

{Engagement} Dustin & Becky

Dustin & Becky met in college, they had mutual friends, but never really hung out together until her sophomore year. One evening, she was walking back to her dorm and Dustin saw HER and offered to give me a ride (hehe, I bet they didn't know that it would lead to spending forever together).





THEN the pursuing started!!!!

Becky thought Dustin was cute, and he liked her too but didn’t want to get involved, as it was spring semester of his senior year. His roommate thought Becky was cute and he (the roommate) could see Becky was interested and pretended to be Dustin on AIM and would flirt with her! They eventually made plans to hang out just the two of them, and the rest is history! Becky had NO idea Jason initiated it until we were officially together!





I asked Dustin when he knew he was head over heels for his girl, Becky...he told me: "It didn’t take long, although I met Becky during my senior year at college and the most important part of that year was about making memories with great friends. My outlook on life changed by becky, she was awesome as my life changed and I was forced to grow up and become an adult I did it with becky she was fun, energetic and she brought out the very best in me."...an't that just adorable!






"He makes me laugh. He can tell the stupidest joke ever but he’ll tell it in just a way to make it the most hilarious thing . That’s probably why he loves me too. Because I laugh at all his dumb jokes.." -Becky



"The thing I love most about Becky is her smile. I could be having the worst day ever, but as soon as I see Becky with her smile, everything is instantly okay. She is truly my sunshine on a rainy day" -Dustin


















...(then my favorite part)-THE ENGAGEMENT!!!! i LOVE awesome engagement stories. Here is Dustin's version of the engagement.

Dustin says: "The biggest decision of my life had just been made; to ask my girlfriend and college sweetheart to marry me. I had saved up for her dream ring, the one she did not ask me to buy because her friends had told her that it was too expensive. I then spent the next two months planning my proposal. Everything
had to be perfect and most of all I had to keep it a secret from the girl I had told everything to for the past 2 years.
She was convinced that this Saturday night would be just another double date with my buddy Aric and his girlfriend. On the drive up I pretended to receive a text from Aric and told my girlfriend that the other couple would be late. I said we might as well stop by a local park I knew since it was such a nice day. I used to live by this beautiful park earlier in our relationship, and we had visited there often. She reluctantly said yes; it was a nice day, but she was wearing high heels with a nice dress. I assured her it would be a short walk, and that we probably wouldn’t have another day this nice before winter settled in.
The park was just losing its fall color as we showed up. In the center of the park there was a bridge that overlooked a lily pond; unbeknownst to my girlfriend our trip over that bridge would change both of our lives forever. Earlier that day my friend Joel went to the park and hid a bottle with a message in it; he was now on the other side of the pond with his camera ready to capture the whole thing. As we approached I couldn’t find the bottle anywhere. My heart skipped more than a few beats, but soon enough I spotted it. At that point I told my girlfriend that I had a present for her and I pointed out the bottle, which was located at the foot of the bridge.
She reached down for the bottle, and grabbed the string that was attached to an old distressed piece of paper with burnt edges; the entire thing looked straight out of Pirates of the Caribbean. Becky excitedly pulled out the note and read the message in an Old English font “I have a question for you.” As she looked up, I was on one knee holding a ring box at the center of the bridge. I opened the box and said, “Becky I love you and I can’t imagine the rest of life without you. Will you marry me?” She ran and jumped into my arms saying “Yes!!!” The other visitors to the park started clapping and cheering for us, later I found out she was so over come with love she didn’t even hear them.
As soon as she calmed down, which took her quite a while, we went over to Joel and thanked him for taking pictures. I had never seen my fiancé happier. She immediately called her parents and some of her friends, as I whisked her back to my truck for the rest of the date. As we arrived at the next destination, my aunt and uncle’s house, she noticed a familiar car in the drive, remarking “hey that looks a lot like my parents car.” Then as we pulled in she cried out excitedly “That IS my parent’s car!” I had arranged for her parents living 5 states away to make the drive up to my aunt and uncles house. We had a huge family style feast with both sets of parents. It was an amazing meal finished off with my girlfriend’s favorite cheesecake from a restaurant that we now lived far away from. Soon after the meal was complete, my aunt excused Becky and me from the table so that we could complete the rest of the night. My fiancé said she couldn’t believe that there was more to the evening!
We started driving downtown, and stopped in front of a fancy hotel with valet parking. My fiancé asked me if we needed to check in, and I told her “Don’t worry about it, I already have a key”. I opened the door to our room, and she was greeted by a candle lit suite covered with rose petals on the bed and chocolates and champagne. She then turned around and told me, “This is just too perfect of a night.” I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with her!!"
SWEETEST STORY EVER!!!!

{Engagement} Jared & Amanda

Jared & Amanda's story starts out with BOOKS and CAR-POOLING! Yes, I'm serious!!!!

When I asked them how they met and fell in love they replied with "We fell in love after long nights of studying and car pooling to and from school" *insert an awww*, but yeah it started out with just studying and car pooling with each other....THEN...



...of course Jared starting pursuing her...Jared:"I pursued Amanda because I could not resist her good looks and amazing personality"..so he asked her out...THEN...she learned the more time she spent with him the MORE time she wanted to spend with him...she was falling in love...



After a short period of time they BOTH knew...knew that they were in love. Jarod says "I knew shortly after dating Amanda and hanging out with her that there would never be another girl that could make me as happy as she does"...



Amanda also came to find out there wasn't any other man on the earth that she'd rather spend her life with. She were hooked!!!!







I asked Amanda how he proposed, she told me "Jared proposed to me while we were studying for a midterm. I was totally surprised! He got down on one knee and said “I figured since we met and fell in love while studying, that it would only be appropriate if I asked you to marry me while we are studying.” I of course said yes, but needless to say I did not get much studying done that evening!"







Then they picked out the ring..and they were offically engaged!






I thought this was cute!! I asked them what they loved most about each other.

Amanda: "I would have to say my favorite characteristic about Jared is his sense of humor. He always knows how to make me smile, no matter what kind of mood I am in!"




Jared: "The characteristic that I love about Amanda is that she laughs at my jokes and gets my sense of humor. She also makes me laugh constantly and we have a lot of fun together"











They brought along their dog ;) He was such a good sport about the whole picture thing lol.












Ok, so we are at the UD campus, and we see the pretty fountain, and I'm thinking in the back of my head "that would be soo cute for them to go in the fountain"..I didn't say a word about it. About 5 minutes later Jared asked Amanda is she would get in the fountain with him...(Me, thinking in my head...YES! SCORE!)..waiting for the response-Amanda was all for it. (yay!). So they played in the fountain a bit.



They did a little bit of kissing then we called it a night. SOOOOoooo excited for your wedding next yr.

{Personal} How beautiful are the feet of Jesus

"Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment"...
Mary displayed such devoted and affectionate humility to jesus, whom she loved deeply and sincerely. It's hard to think of cleaning someone's feet with your hair right?? BUT the whole thing about Mary cleaning Jesus' feet with her hair was NOT just the action itself. It was the meaning behind the action. Humility. Love.
You may say "Love...?? Everyone loves.." Yes, maybe everyone loves..but I'm talking about love for God. To genuinely love Jesus Christ our Saviour. We should be willing to wash his feet with out hair--in other words willing to do anything to for Him to show how much we love him. Would you wash his feet with you hair just to show Him you love and adore Him...would you shout "Amen" in church just to give him glory regardless of what other thought?? Would you carry your Bible into your work place to show God your are NOT ashamed of him?? There were many people around when Mary washed Jesus' feet with hair. SHE WASN'T ASHAMED! Yes, people spoke out against her...they thought she could use the precious perfume for a better cause. That still didn't stop her from honoring her Lord. We should be like Mary...I WANT to be like Mary. My Jesus suffered on the cruel cross for ME. For my sin--I should show him how much I love him. You should do the same. I challenge you to just brag on Jesus...tell someone about His wonderful love and grace. I mean, come on..He deserves it after all!

I want the feet that go into these' shoes to always give God all the honour and glory.


ditto for the feet that go into these shoes'. ;) :D


Let me know if you have any thoughts on this.

[Wedding} Belinda & Matt
